THE EYES HAVE IT!!



  




Today, I want to pose a question to each of you.  Do you know the color of your husband's or boyfriends eyes?  Right now - don't look, no fair cheating!!




I've been married to the same man for 30 years and I must confess that when that question popped into my head this morning, I could not answer it!




I'm actually quite embarrassed to admit this, as I am the one who is always telling everyone to stay present and be in the moment.




I once read something written by an old Zen Master.  His advice for life was this:
Show up
PAY ATTENTION
Tell the truth
And don't be to attached to the outcome.



I think this is very sound advice - and for me - especially the PAY ATTENTION part.

Wouldn't you agree?

    Yes Josette, I agree completely! I once had someone tell me, in fact he was a detective, that we learn more and see more when we look at our surroundings carefully, no matter where we are. And, he also said to listen carefully, because you will learn something new if you stay still and listen with all your heart.
    Great Post.

    Hello Jo, I do know the color of my sweetie's eyes... but I must admit, my mind tends to drift off to a million different places all of the time... sooo many things I love to do, I get easily distracted... so PAY attention is one I need to remember! xoxo Julie Marie

    Well...I don't have either of these in my life right now. But I can tell you I've been drawn to blue eyes and could write a book on where that got me! So if I ever decide to let someone in my life again...I think I'll make sure he has BROWN eyes (O:
    And I will look and listen better at everything. Great advice!

    :-) Yes, I know the color of my husband's eyes. Brown. But after all, all our children got the same color. :-)

    But this is a very Wise post. And I thank you for it.

    I'm finding much Wisdom in "Pretty Blog Land" today. Which is interesting in itself. :-) Is it the time of year, which brings on reflection?

    Great words to live by. And my guys eyes are green, unless he is wearing blue then they change a little. Kind of like a lizard:)

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
