HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT YOU WERE LEARNING THE WRONG LESSON??




It is often said......life is a "classroom"...."when the student is ready...the teacher appears"..I certainly agree with these two concepts.  However, I sometimes wonder exactly what lesson I am here to learn. 

 I think I know what the lesson is.....I think I have learned it.....then......only to have it reappear again in some other form.

I am going to be away from my blog for a while ......... attempting to sort out just WHAT MY LESSON IS.

Don't know how long that will be...but I need the time to focus....
Thank you to all of you who have been kind enough to follow me on this journey.  It is time for me to take a LITTLE DETOUR.

  13. Jo~ I certainly understand what it's like to need a break. What matters is that you follow whatever path your heart leads you to.

    I wish you the very best and hope that you truly find bliss in whatever comes your way. I'll be here when/if you decide to return. Be well and be blessed, dear lady.

  15. Well I hope you won't be gone to long. I enjoy reading your blog and sharing things with you.
    But oft' times in life, detours are necessary to make sure we don't get too far away "from what we intended"
    so I hope you are able to find your answers, learn your lessons.

    I remember a quote that says "how sad it would be to have the experience, but NOT learn the lesson."
    best wishes Jo

  16. Hi Jo. I'm stopping by from an e-mail from Miss Vicki. I'm distracted by the beautiful picture of a dahlia on my right.

    Keep surrounding yourself with beauty.

    Try to be selfish and take care of yourself.

    It's okay.

    And it's okay to find peace when others around you don't.

    I'm sending you an e-mail and a prayer.

    Keep your chin up.

  17. I think we learn many lessons in life...that we don't have just "one" lesson to learn. And I think it's a gift. xo

  18. Josette, I hope your little detour will be productive and fulfilling, and you will come back to us refreshed. The photo of this lady is delightful, I must say.

  19. Jo - I am going to miss the beauty you bring into my world but I want you to take care of yourself. That is what is important right now. Sending prayers for your inner peace.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
