Lighting the Path Less Taken

Register

I replaced my Barry Manilow CD yesterday (I wore my other one out)
and of course, I been playing it in my car today.
But, it made me cry, so it's been relegated to the boot.
There must be something I am hanging onto.

April 1st, was 6yrs ago today I saw my last grandchild born and as he was making his way into the world, I was blessed to see his parents angels beside them and his also after his birth.

It's been a beautiful day here today, almost like summer, blue sky, sunhine and no wind.
Got my washing dry again!

The full wishing moon is building Mia, thus tears. But tears cleanse and leave a lighter heart. What a wonderful memory of 6 years hence.

Aha, another bloomin'moon!
Thanks for telling me (hug)

Mia

hope this helps you and the moons

Thank you Steve (hug)

I haven't been sleeping well lately, dropping off about 3 or 4am, and arising 7am when the alarm goes off.
Last night I took 2 x Valerian capsules and actually slept for an hour then awoke, this went on all night!
But I do feel more refreshed this morning.

And .... I dreamt, but I was still dreaming during the awaking moments, so maybe not a dream.

Someone, a man, told me to look and listen, so I did.
There was a table with 4 people sitting around it, 2 men and 1 lady, not sure who the other was.
The lady was called Heather.
In the middle of the table was a wooden planter, with sweetpeas, hyacinths and lily of the valley in it.
They smelt gorgeous.
The people were talking to me and I answering them.
I was real excited, cos I knew they were spirit and I was actually TALKING and LISTENING to them lol
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the conversation, as usual lol

Now during the day yesterday and a few times previously, I have smelt those same flowers.
Not only at home (I cannot have flowers indoors cos daughter has problems) but at work and he smelt them too!

Ah Mia, it seems this is a week for visions, dreams, tactile moments of touch and scent....others have said the same to me. Sleep is disturbed and sporatic as well, even for me. I keep being awakened at about my 1:30 am. The some one needs me thing feeling.
Perhaps slipping an amethyst under your pillow will help, a bloodstone in a dish of water will keep one in sleep and encourage dreams...if you wish it.
I love when the scents follow us...like angels hovering.

The last two nights I have slept very well.
Saturday morning I awoke at 5am, completely refreshed and thinking it was 7am.
I had not woken once! That is almost unknown for me!
Last night I awoke several times as usual, but I did slep well inbetween.

I play CD's or have the radio playing in my car all the time, I drive my car a lot each day.
Sahje's thread led me to notice I am hearing a lot of 'alone' songs. Leo Sayer, Alone Again Naturally, Bee Gees, I Don't Want to be Alone. Elvis, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Barry Manilow, Lonely Together, lots. lots more.

Thing is, I am unsure if I DONT want to be alone.
Am I scared to?
Methinks so.
I treasure my independence too much to share.
And I don't want to go thru another break up.

Another beautiful day here.
I been stuck indoors though, doing a 'sit' and the lady I been sitting I cannot get outside by myself.
The dear told me to **** off too!
Ah well, I have had worse lol

I hoping it's like this tomorrow for my day off

Mia -- Please don't forget, there is an ENORMOUS difference between being alone and being lonesome. I have been alone a very long time & I love it. I am very very very rarely lonesome, tho.

I love my independence and well, admittedly, complete control over my environment (well, as much as possible). I realize I am blessed to enjoy my oneness and not pine for something else. It's not for everyone.

But, please remember, it is possible to like being alone. A "twosome" is a societal thing and most media tells you that's the way it should be........but, it's not for everyone, really! -- tt (don't want to make a wrong impression - I love company and companionship. But not ALL the time.)

Yesterday, I had a sort of fear of going thru traffic lights, I was very wary of them turning red, and I kept an extra eye out for people standing by them.
Then as I was approaching a set on the way home a bloomin' bird pooed on my windscreen, not a little one either, was more like an albatross!
I was temporalily blinded til I moved my head and it really made me jump, well, cos this happened I went thru those traffic lights when they were on RED!!!
This made me think about other thoughts I have had which have come true shortly after.
This doesn't happen to me! lol

tt, what's the difference then? between being alone and lonesome? xx

Had a lovely day today.
It was my day off and I spent most of it in my front garden.
I weeded and weeded and dug roots out, strimmed the lawn, raked leaves and grass and swept and tidied.
Phew, just reading that tired me out, lol.
Then I needed to go to the garden centre for plants.
Next door to it is Pizza Hut, so daughter and I went there for dinner, not knowing it was Happy Hour, which means 2 meals for £7.50

I got some heathers and lavender for the garden, which I shall put in later.
I have coloured daughters hair for her, had a nap, done a huge pile of ironing and watched Heroes, sharing a box of Maltesers with daughter q13

Its been a happy, productive day even though I am tired out now and going to bed zzzzzzzz
Loving you all lots and lots (((LTPLT)))

Mia - To me, the meanings of the words are:

Alone: Solitary, but content within yourself. I can look at a beautiful tree or sunset while I am alone and appreciate it totally for itself, without the need to share it with anyone. .

Lonely: Solitary, but feeling that another human being is needed or longed for, in order that a situation, sight or sound can be fully appreciated. The company of others completes any scenario to the best ending.

I am alone by choice, but luckily almost never lonely. The few times I have found myself lonely, seem to be short and seldom. Yes, I have my downtimes for sure, but somehow, I love being solitary and in control of my mood and my life.

Alone is not only the good things, but the dubious. Like completely relying on yourself, regardless of the situation. Yes, friends & family are irreplaceable sometimes, but in the end, there's only one person you can depend on -- yourself. I do love my family & friends, but I need myself to be complete and competent.

Come to think of it, with the lives I've led, there's not many other ways I could have made it through. I'm probably not saying all this right. -- tt

Yes TT, you speak well and with good words. I too live alone and so very rarely lonely..I like my company...but do long, once in a while for real human...but I want an honest true one, fussy ain't I?
I have learnt to be stronger, more gentle and accepting being alone. The diamond in the coal so to speak, while getting older, farm things get harder, but I do keep challenging myself..boredom isn't around much.

I am so pleased you had a wonderful warm fulfilling day. q13

Mum made me laugh today.
I sent her the dates of the Wishing Moons that Sahje posted.
Last year she 'wished' and all but one has happened for her.

She texted me this morning to say she made her wishes, all 19 of them, and put them in the 'angels hands' (its a figurine).

I replied 'poo! I forgot' Then realised its 7th today.

Well, mum replied when I told her.

'Everything happens for a reason. My wishes are 1st in the line'

Lol (((mum)))

Had to take son to A+E tonight, his neck is seized up, poor lad is seized up all over, he not eating or sleeping :(

Ah well, he knows I love him and I am here when he needs me.
