Wednesday’s Weekly Prompt..Resolutions

Funny thing. I haven’t participated in a weekly prompt in months. This morning, I was jotting down a list for 2023. Little things, some bigger things, at least for me. I stopped making NY Resolutions a long time ago as it was just a set up for leaving me feeling like a failure. Imagine my surprise as I was scrolling through WP and came across todays weekly prompt … so here’s my 2023 want-to-do-bucket list of sorts. There’s no pressure……I like that!

2023

more God, more hoping, more faith, more stillness

more sunrises, more books, more reflecting,

more simplicity, more peace, more patience,

more listening, more conversation, more connections,

more dragonflies, more kitty cuddles, more balance

more wondering, more wandering, more walks

more writing, more painting, more creating,

more sunsets, more time in nature, more hugs

✝️

More sunrises

More writing

More creating

More dragonflies

New Beginnings (part 2)

You cannot change the past.
You can only improve on the present.”
~Michael Bassey Johnson~

The day after arriving here in Pa, it was time to move forward with selling the NC place. I’d decided to wait till the boys and I were out of the home before attempting to sell.

I reached out to a realtor who proceeded to meet my daughter at the house. She assessed my property and took her photos. I trusted her judgement on what we should put it on the market for. I was selling it ‘as is’, and while I had a number in my head, I was also realistic. She suggested almost to the dollar what I had been thinking. Good sign as far as I was concerned.

A few days after signing what needed to be signed, the house went ‘live’. It was late on a Friday afternoon. The amount of activity proved to be exciting and nerve racking…..by the end of the weekend I had multiple offers.

I accepted one which blessed me with more than I anticipated. Closing would take a few weeks….and the day before Thanksgiving it was all done. I truly had and continue to have much to be thankful and grateful for as 2022 comes to a close.

Closing here on my new place will be any day now….in the meantime, I’m snuggled in, grateful to be home.

Winter cheers

Just a little something that popped into my head

My Thoughts

Deciphering A Dream

Anyone out there good at deciphering dreams? If you’ve read anything that I’ve been posting, you would see a pattern. Dealing with loneliness, sadness, letting go, going back, trying to figure out the what, where, when’s and why’s of my life…..so I know this dream ties in with all that I’m feeling right now. Just curious to get someone’s take on it.

I woke at around 3 a.m. and jotted down what I could remember…

I’m somewhere, with people I don’t know or recognize in my awake life, yet I seem to know them in the dream. The premise that I can basically remember is that I’m the last person of this group (community) holding on to her part of what seems to be a communal dream. Everyone else has let go of their part, but for some reason, I’m holding out, not ready to move on to whatever the next ‘level’ is. The others didn’t seem upset or angry, but seemed vigilant in pressing me to let it go…….

That’s when the cats woke me up…

Wednesday Wisdom

Was reminded of this early this morning….don’t have a clue who the author is but appreciate their words…

“Do not merely hope to live, someday, somehow. Open yourself to the beauty and goodness of this moment, and live this day. Let go of worries and fantasies about what might or might not be. Focus the full energy of your spirit on what is real and what is now, and live this day.”
