when in doubt, [believe!]

  

A magnet on my fridge, that I really need to read and practice for a few days. I am surrounded by sickness and hospitals. I am a caregiver, and all of it leaves me feeling so empty and drained all the time anymore. There is no in-between space, no normal. hospitals, emergency rooms, doctors, meds, and worry is the norm. I find it more and more difficult to believe in miracles. I want to believe, at least some of the time.

(My note from the Universe this morning.)
Never has there been a moment in your life, Sixpence, that wasn't also a moment in mine.
Never have you laughed without me, cried alone, or loved in vain
And never have you dreamed a dream, that destiny had not ordained.
Thanks,
The Universe

One of the favorite lamps in my house. I found this at the thrift store a couple years ago.

 

I love the refelection of the trees in my cup of tea.

Sometimes it is nice to serve yourself from fine china, tea and coffee always taste better from fine china.

I rearranged my bedroom a couple of nights ago. Amazing how disoriented my entire being has been the past couple of nights.

A close up of my quilt I made around 4 years ago, after seeing one from Anthropologie that I wanted. I love this, but need to make a new one. This one is starting to show some wear.

I keep thinking I will buy a new mattress, my KING size mattress is more than I need, and takes up too much room. So I've been waiting on that before making a new quilt. I do have a king size top already made, it's hanging out in the closet, waiting to be finished.

A New Year...New Hopes and Dreams...New Possibilities.

New Year’s Day is always my favorite day of the year. For some strange reason, I feel for a brief few hours out of each year that the possibilities are endless and miracles are possible. Throughout each year, I am constantly talking to myself, trying to convince my mind and heart of these things, but for a few ticking moments, I really do believe it. It’s a nice feeling.

My New Year’s Resolutions are:

Be more positive and less negative.

Give more to my favorite charities.

Think longer before speaking.
Forgive the unforgivable.

Love the unlovable.

Let go of past hurts.

Spend more time with nature.

Read more.

Write more poetry.

Pray.

Expect less from others (and myself).

Love without fear.

OK, now I am depressed. I know how hard some (actually, all) of these things will be for me. Oh well…I must try, huh.

Hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful 2011.

There are paths I travel down, leaving parts of me along the way

so that, I can return one day.
