Quote:

Triumph and Resurrection
Beyond the divine…someone else saw me…showed me the blessings I already possess..
Held me tenaciously, ‘till I could see for myself the wholesomeness of becoming whole…
and I am a big ball of learning since.

My heart expands to greet life anew each day with appreciation
My mind opens like a well loved biograpy..and I get to grow
My soul is in the safe hands of thee most wondrous caretaker…nudging me gently forward into living and loving as far as is humanly possible.




What a beautiful meditation, Popea. I loved the whole thing, but copied and pasted this part to pin up on the bulletin board beside my computer, because it really speaks hope and possibility to my heart in its grief and sadness right now...thank you!

Yonuh...

I could...but I'm in a rental house and probably won't...I had 6 bushes and they knew all their names...they were in full bloom when I put my house on the market...I think that's part of the reason it sold so quickly...

So I'm thankful that I am now a confirmed porch gardner...and I'm thankful that I didn't give in to my urges to get the plants out already...it has gotten cold again...

Po...lovely...meaningful...

Beautiful Po, you are truly gifted. Ten minutes? Wow.

Eagle, I am going to copy it also.

Jane, we were just told on the local news to cover our plants and/or bring them inside. A freeze warning yet.

Hannelore, did your Mom go up in the balloon or did I not see that post yet? Welcome back.

Thanks Lasses for all your kind and encouraging words...yesterday was(in part)just one of those special days when one gets to experience being connected to everything good in life
...but then by the evening, I forgot had forgotten to eat and became a sore, grumpy sausage!!!
Today..I will remember to eat and stay with the same feeling as yesterday.

Much Love

Popea

I'm thankful Hannelore and chick are back. I haven't heard too much about either of your trips. How about going in the Travel forum and filling us in?

I'm thankful my daughter came home for the weekend. I'm thankful my youngest son is coming home tonight. I'm thankful my oldest son has a local family at college to celebrate Easter with tomorrow. I'm thankful I have a house full of family coming tomorrow. I'm thankful I feel like cooking today. I began very early and am off to a great start. I'm thankful to be able to go to church tomorrow with hubby, two kids, and my FIL.

I'm thankful I have all my BWS friends who care enough to read what I'm thankful for.
