SOUL WORK.......STRAIGHT AHEAD.......


I'm no more knowledgeable or spiritual than most of you out there...but as I've gotten older with fewer days ahead of me than behind..I find myself reflecting more and more on life.


I've had a very full life compared to many...and still do.  I'm not a cleric or a theologian. But from time to time..when I'm alone and all the mind chatter has stopped; I find myself in that special spot where the road is a little more clear.


Words seem to come easily and smoothly....like chocolate dripping off a spoon.


i call these little breaks in life SIGNPOSTS FOR THE SOUL....

So this year...I want to share them with you if you care to follow...
one post....each MONDAY....until the thoughts stop coming or the well dries up.

SIGNPOSTS OF MY SOUL

Monday....Week one

THERE ARE NEVER BORING PEOPLE.....ONLY THOUGHTLESS OBSERVERS!

i certainly do not want to offend anyone as these are my thoughts and mine alone...but if they interest you....please feel free to use them for your own soul work~~~~~


As always...sending warm thoughts and hugs to each and everyone of you.

Jo

    What powerful words and so true. Lately, I too, have been reflecting more on life, where I have been and where I still want to go. Thank you for such a powerful thought.

    That is so true. Isn't it wonderful when you take away distractions and just sit still and really LISTEN?

    Jo,

    Your Monday reflection posts sound like a great idea. I look forward to reading more of them in the future.

    Also, "mind chatter" is very annoying, isn't it? It's a very lovely thing when it disappears. :)

    Blessings,

    -Lady Rose

    P.S. Thank you for visiting my blog the other day. I hope you will come back again. :)

    the implication of signposts is to aid in direction...to find a path...
    i look forward to the discovery my dear one :)

    WE ALL reach that point at some stop in our lives and this journey. The destination is the same, but we all stop at different points to examine our own souls. How wonderful dearest that you are thinking "out loud"...we are together on this....Anita

    First Jo, I wish to say thank you for your sweet comment on my Jakie. The thought behind it went far in making me feel comforted by the understanding that was shared.
    Second, isn't it sad that reflection comes as we age instead of while we're young and need it the most. I call these moments waiting for God's whispers. It's a calming feeling to sit and be still just to hear.
    Again...thank you.

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
