Today

For Today

good morning to all

as I sit with my coffee and count my many blessings!

the day is beginning quietly

and I am planning to keep it that way

as

I look at some

Hibiscus

that need a little boost to start their

"gift a day with flowering here"

I am reminded

of the many gifts

we are blessed with

in good, bad, hard, and sad

times.

Life is fragile

and

oh how we need reminders

to be kind to each other

to be

tolerant of each other and the choices

the paths

the each decide to venture and journey on

while discovering new things each and every day.

I received some news yesterday

of one diagnosed with

a tumor of unknown seriousness last evening

of

one wrapped in anger

over things they cannot change last evening

and

of one

who's child died suddenly and unexpectedly

yesterday afternoon.

As I wrap my mind and heart around all of this

news

this morning and look at morning

in its splendor

and

the

Hibiscus

blooms

coming to greet me with their gifts

I

am grateful

and

I wonder

if all had received the same calls

would they

embrace all around them

with love rather than angst

with laughter

rather

than judgment or anger or confusion

and

Dance into this day

knowing

this day is the day we have.

BLESSINGS and joy from my home to yours

friends and family

><

May your day be filled with love,

with memories that sustain you

and

with

HOPE for and in understanding of self and each other

Look deeply within

for there you will find

understanding and love

of the

Universal oneness of the Creator

who loves you and loves all.

“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset"

Crowfoot The fire is burning brightly, the embers are hot.

Sage is filling the air, and the drumming is about to begin.

For all of you, I give thanks

and

so it is good!

Prayers and thoughts are being sent to Tim

his family and fellow officers paid tribute to him this week, they sent him off beautifully, with the respect due to an officer in Chattanooga Tennessee the procession and the services were remarkable and of beauty I am told. Tim an officer, a man of family, friends, community

doing what he loved, serving his community with honor and pride killed at the hands of another leaving behind those who now are traumatized, now having honored his life, are left to wonder how/why/, as they attempt to step back into their lives after honoring his memory and seeing such a remarkable final tribute to a warrior. They will now walk in a state of "numbness and shock"; now struggle for answers and look for him in their daily walks,

and for HOPE in understanding.

Tim now joins with other brothers and sisters standing

celebrate him home to "The Thin Blue Line" on the other side.

"Thank you Tim for your service"

Blessings to those who are standing in the grief and sorrow, May you find comfort in knowing he is but a heart beat away now watching over you with those who have gone before him all of which have welcomed him

to that sacred line of service and all who stand proudly

on "THE THIN BLUE LINE"

For:
Thomas Galvin and his wonderful son Sean, blessings and strength in healing ways;
 Karen, Paul and Little Calvin, prayers of healing and thoughts to you all. Kiss that little one and know that he is in the Creators arms and the hands of those skilled to help and to heal him.

For my dear family of choice, we are with you, Stand Strong now> Laura and Mitch strength and prayers of healing ways,

For those at Wounded Knee continued healing of spirit as they move through this day and all days! with the beauty of spirit and gentle winds to caress their spirits and heal their souls.

To those who have served and are serving this great Nation, I thank you and your families.

We BELIEVE IN YOU.

WE THANK YOU. WE WANT YOU HOME SAFELY.

We are together in prayer, in thoughts of all that is needed to remind you we are WARRIORS...

We stand by you on the journey beside you, along with some powerful angels both here and in the next place, the other side.

May you find comfort in knowing we are with you always:

AND for that I give thanks, and so it is!

Wishing you all you need to soar today, to fly, to enjoy and to be all that you are!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7J8FvkLz-4
