The warmest wind could not thaw.
She dreamed of summer.

Feeling pretty peaceful this morning. The stress of the last few weeks feels like it is dissipating, because I have been given the gift of silence, so that I can move from it. I’m grateful for this.
Feeling like I can begin once more, to move forward. To get things done in preparation for the move. My son is talking about going in July to CO. I want to drive out there with him, and make sure he’s set up in a decent place, to be able to visualize where he lives. It’s getting close now, and slightly scary for me, but I can deal with it.
We all have to let our children go, don’t we? We have them for so short a time, really. I hope I’ve done my job well, I hope he is moving to a happy life. Our relationship will take a turn, as he moves into his adulthood fully. We will always be close, I know our lives will remain connected, inextricably.
And me….my life also is going to take a big turn. I can visualize it, I can feel it. I know where I’m going, and believe with all my heart that it will manifest as I dream. In the same way that I ended up where I am by dreaming of it, I know my life in Florida will manifest the way I dream of it. With, hopefully, only happy surprises, lol.
Going for the easy lessons from here on out. I think I’ve done enough of the hard ones. I wouldn’t trade any of them, they have all helped me to know who I am, to get closer to my center, painful as they were. I think to live a rich full life, they were necessary. I love the people who were my teachers, and I hope their lives also move on to be rich and full.
Just feeling a little introspective this morning I guess. Time to get the day underway.
Love and light everyone.

Day dawns, cool and bright
Inhaling the golden light
I knew, God breathed me.

The palm tree hovers
Drops coconuts on the roof
Drumming me to sleep.

Daybreak came so soon
Alone, the bed was empty
You, missing from me.
I heard from the dr on some of the labs about my stomach issue. I don’t have a bacterial infection. Which I suppose is good news, but if I did, they’d give me antibiotics and it would be over. She said they should get the rest tomorrow. They also apparently thought they gave me bloodwork to have done, but they didn’t. So I guess I have to go back and get that done.
I felt pretty good today though. Not much issues with it, so maybe it’s getting better. Tonight I was having leftover pot roast, and was dying to have a salad. It’s been weeks, so I made one. I’ll see how it settles.
I didn’t have time to call anyone today at work. I need to call Medicare, I needed to call Ron, my friend the energy healer. I texted quite a while with my friend Linda, the gong player. She saw Ron a short time ago. She is the one who told me how far out he books, and he requires you to make 3 appointments. She gave me a lot of help, because she’s close enough to me, she knows how long I have struggled with all this stuff. She had some good suggestions, which I have been trying all day. Linda does a number of different energy healing modalities herself, and just talking to her helps, we are kindred spirits. She’s a loving soul. She comes at everything from a place of unconditional love, as I try to do. She knows me. So hopefully, the suggestions she gave me will help. They can’t hurt, that’s for sure. Not anyone.
Since I feel better tonight, maybe I can give her suggestions some of the credit.
My son got my lawn mower fixed today. So yay, I don’t have to pay another $40 to have the lawn mowed.
My boss told me he has my replacement starting next Monday. A woman who used to work with our new controller. He said he thinks it will take at least 2 months for her to get up to 80%. And don’t worry, if my house hasn’t sold, there is plenty of other work she can do until I go. Or I can do. So it’s all good.
One more step closer to Florida and farther away from the intense drama that has been my life for a year. It’s hard to believe a year later, I am still feeling the repercussions. A year ago, it was just beginning to develop, my heart was just beginning to be broken. And a year later, I am not sure that he’s let me go yet. I am only hopeful. Time will tell.
Still, I am better tonight than I was this morning. Physically and emotionally. Hoping for a good night’s sleep. Last week I was on the Ambien again every night but was able to give it up while my friend was here.
Love and light, everyone.
I hope I get some information on this stomach issue today. I am concerned, it has gone on way too long. It’s better, because I’m taking the prescription I was given, but I can tell it’s still there. I hope it’s just some kind of virus or bacterial infection. I had hoped it was just an intolerance to a medication for diabetes, but I’ve been off of that for days now, and the issue remains.
I am a firm believer that all illness has an emotional component, which in many cases is causal. I feel like the major emotional cause is all the stress from the S relationship over the last year. So much uncertainty, fear, and angst, and rejection, and grief. So much having to assimilate the deception on such a grand scale, having to swallow his lies to her about me, and live with them because he can’t step up to the plate and own what he did. I need to separate myself completely, and the fact that there is no contact at the moment is a good thing for me, it’s a good start. It gives me breathing space, to accept and move away from it. It’s not enough though. Because I know that we still communicate energetically, whether or not I want it to happen.
I have not figured out how to stop loving someone I love, and so I have not stopped with him. But I can’t continue to give to him, even energetically. It’s obviously draining me. I am covering my fear, and rejection, disappointment and grief at his inability to stand up and be counted. Just to own his own emotions and actions.
We hold our emotions in our solar plexus, and our sexuality and creativity in our sacral chakra. I have been holding all this pain in both of those places for so long now. I need to figure out how to completely let go of what was done to me, and to stop worrying about him as well. I know this in my head, and have begun setting my life up to do this, with the selling of my house and moving to Florida, but emotionally I have not let go. I can’t ignore the connection we have, it’s there, and ignoring it is false also. But I don’t know how to deal with it either. I don’t know how to not feel what I feel from him, but somehow I need to let that go, while being cognizant of it. It does no good to pretend it’s not there. It also is making me sick to focus in on it, to allow it to have such a prominent place in my psyche.
I have a friend who does some incredible energetic healing. I think I will call him, and maybe see him. I don’t know anyone else who can help me with this, at the level I am dealing with it. I definitely need some help with this, if I’m going to get through it whole. Even the gong baths are not enough to set me free.
So working out stuff this morning. A new day, a new week, and I need to be more proactive regarding my health and emotional well-being.
Love and light, all….

Love that’s limitless
Discovers deceit the same
Lays down, the grave cold.
It was an interesting day today. First of all, I was falling asleep on the couch all afternoon. I’ve been sleeping well too. But I think that emotionally, I got very relaxed having my old friend here for a few days. Just to hang out with someone who has known me my whole life. No pretense, no trying to one-up each other, no getting to know each other. Just catching up, reminiscing, just being myself, as I always was. It was just calming. Like being with family. She and I saw the Beatles together, we played in orchestra together, we sang together. And now, we share a lot of the same spiritual beliefs, though she is a lay minister and thus more religious than me, her religious beliefs tend to point her in the same direction that my beliefs lie.
It was just what I needed. The week had been a pretty emotional one for me, and I hadn’t felt well. I still have this stomach issue, but hopefully will find something out in the next day or two from the labs I had done.
I’ll be going to my sisters in about 3 weeks, to her VA home. We are having a memorial for my mother, and burying her remains next to my father. All the kids will be coming, and I’m so excited to see them all together, excited for my son to reconnect with his cousins. It’s my mother’s birthday while we are there, so it will be good to be all together. I miss her so much. But more than that I am so grateful for her continued presence in my life, manifesting in the ability to love unconditionally. And forgive. So grateful that I am able to do that.
I went on the dating site again this afternoon for laughs, really. Just for some male energy in my life. And I was bored and way too tired to be productive. I got hit up by 2 scammers, lol, and another guy who wasn’t a scammer but had some really out there ideas of what made sex meaningful. LOL. I didn’t talk to him too long, but it was fun. Funny. I take none of it seriously. Oh and one more from Manhattan, that wanted to make plans to meet, lol. Yeah, sure, I think I’ll just do that. Manhattan is about 115 miles from here. We’ll meet at Starbucks, lol. Coffee at 50 miles….
It cracks me up. These scammers obviously have someone write a profile that is in normal English, then when you chat with them, they can’t spell, or use proper syntax. Such a dead giveaway. One scammer, when I asked him what he did for a living, he said he was a “general commander of the armed forces in Afghanistan.” who was retiring in a few weeks, so wanted to find a woman to spend the rest of his life with. LMAO!!!! I said, “Ok, commander, you’ll have to find another victim.”
But it was fun to talk to a man. I assume they are men, lol. Maybe not. This site has been sending bi-women to me every once in a while. I have my parameters solidly set for men. I guess they are maybe running out of eligible men. The guy with the outlandish sexual ideas thought that group sex might be fun. But wasn’t interested in “meaningless” sex. LOL. I told him that group sex seemed to me to be meaningless, lol. He said, well, people enjoy it. I explained that enjoying it and finding meaning in it was not the same thing. That the guy I was seeing for 18 months surely enjoyed doing both his gf and I, but when we found out it became meaningless to us both. Sadly. Very sadly, for me. (Probably for B also, but I can’t speak for her, it’s not my story to tell.) It is what it is.
Anyway…I said, C Ya in short order. I am pretty sure the internet does not have my next passionate love in the wings. I’m just window shopping, lol.
Life is good. I miss S at times, but work through it. I know what’s best for me, and that’s to be 1500 miles away, in my little Florida bungalow, biking to the beach.
My son is taking over my family room, so he and his friends can watch Game of Thrones on the big TV in HD. LOL. I will have to go to bed, because despite his attempts to explain it to me, I cannot comprehend what is going on with it. I must just be too old.
Love and light, all.

Maybe it was an epic battle
Between the cold north wind
And the warm spring sun.
Maybe the sun is just not strong enough
Today
To do battle with the
Opposing forces.
Tomorrow is another day.
Let the sun rest today.
Let the north wind bluster.
The flowers will chill
But survive.
And thrive.
So will I.
Tomorrow is another day.
