Fall on Friday ~ woo hoo ~

This one bloomed

this week too ~

Happy Friday world ~ Now it's time to just slow down... rise slowly sun, hang out ... take your time to rise!

Many will say, hurry hurry,

RISE AND SHINE

Let's get this day up and rolling and over...

 c'mon 5:00

and then;

IT'S THE WEEK-END

make it slow and easy

and

PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IS 

L  O   N    G

As a matter of fact, I do believe it is a 

L   O   N     G

week-end for many

as Monday is that God-awful holiday for most

the one I never have celebrated!

Nope never ever ... used to volunteer to work it as a matter of principal now that I think back.

We sure have had an interactive and wonderful community of

WARRIORS stomping this week in the comments!

We each walk our own path, in our own mocassins, our own tennis shoes, our own high heels, our own unique foot prints.

OUR HEARTS BEAT WITH THE BEAT OF MOTHER EARTH

BUT CANNOT BE SEEN

"Our Hearts Cannot Be Seen" {by a reader}

(as one who commented so beautifully yesterday)

THAT IS THE TRUTH

"the PROOF is IN the PUDDING"

by the way in which we live our lives~

Oh how I love this sacred and special page and that all feel safe enough

to

"sound off"

to

"STAND UP"

to

STOMP

We now have readers in Spain, in Dublin Ireland, in New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, UK, BC, Canada along with those in the USA here often; Warriors of gentle spirit all.

If I left someone out, please let me know in the comments and I will be sure and mention.

Our littlest of warriors are probably STOMPING in school today as it is Friday; all keyed up for the week end, already waiting for the recess and end of day bus, knowing they will have a day off on Monday!

Get ready parents!!!

It's Friday; tonight the high school stadium lights will be on across the states as neighborhoods and communities gather for some "FOOTBALL"; the stands will fill, the hollers will be heard as the kids "suit up" and get their attitudes on, and get ready to "WIN WIN WIN"~

OF COURSE,

The Godmother will be wearing the

Radford VA Bobcat T-shirt and probably cold, but I will be having my cell phone "blowing up" with texts of

Godson D'Vante with knee now in a brace so he can play

and hollering like always

hoping them success tonight~

Heaven help Mom and her healing leg... at least she will be confined to bleacher sitting and not allowed to run the sidelines like she did last night at Kamryn's game; I'm sure her leg thanks her for that!

And so it is good~

Meanwhile there is Olivia up in Maryland who is probably now experiencing cold toes with that neon orange casted foot now that the weather is changing along with the leaves; she has grown tired of this whole thing~ asking "the Mama"

"has it been 6 weeks yet and when is this thing coming off"~

What did we learn in Kindergarden really?

I learned to color, learned Dick and Jane and now that I look back;

I remember this big old pull out drawer where loads of paper was stored... and I remember crawling in there and hiding! Only later in the day to be found by the teacher, and oh how I loved Mrs Huth.

As a matter of fact, as a young woman, I attended her

funeral in Arlington VA

and was handed a black arm band to wear to demonstrate mourning back then.

She was an extroidinary woman

and I was so loved

even if I did hide in that big ole' cabinet/drawer

or whatever it was!!!

Creativitity was fostered.

Did you go to kindergarden?

What did you learn there,

has it served you well in your life?

Kids are truly amazing; most often having no concept of time; we teach that with the many and varied watches we purchase throughout the years; from the time they are little and lose them, throw them away, gift them to friends, and the ones that magically disappear.

We teach patience, and somedays it seems a great undertaking, and then we ourselves see we never learned that lesson so well, as so many adults seem to be challenged in that arena!

We teach our children to have faith; but in hard and sorrowful times our very own faith is challenged, some say they have lost theirs... perhaps but on a shelf, in a drawer, left in the car, or just given away along with personal power for others.

We teach our children to be kind and respectful

yet adults are sometimes not that way, and they allow their children to see that demonstrated

wonder what they are thinking during those times?

We teach our children to not judge others,

yet at times they may be sitting in the other room or in the back seat of a car and witness conversations of adults talking about other relatives or neighbors or the President of the United States, and judging or being critical of a persons' right of choices for their lives.

So much conflict from what is taught to actions...

So much responsibility.

Look within, see the greatness of all living things, the little one that resides within each of us... Foster that child within, love that child, play...

HAVE A PARTY TODAY.

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr Seuss

So in other words, it's Friday... let's let the week-end and good times roll~

"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way."

~ Dr Seuss ~

The fire is burning brightly, the tobacco, sage, cedar is sent on the winds of gratitude and thoughts of love and healing ways to all who enter here.

DRSES

That is the HOPE in Healing Heartaches
