Today

The top bulb of my hourglass was reversed this morning at 5:30 a.m. to begin measuring my new passage.Today I celebrate another year of life.  Thank you God, my Heavenly Father, that because you said so, here I stand another year, another vessel, carrying another spirit to another dominion to obtain knowledge, for another understanding, another wisdom, and another love.

Thanks, But No Thanks. No More Bones Please.

To ALL the ones that fed me bones over the last several years, i wanted to let you know that i have been given meat that doesn't  have bones.  I no longer have to wait until you are full  to throw me the bones from your left over meal.  Thanks, but no thanks.  No more bones please.


I'm being fed on a regular basis.  I have well balanced meals now, producing a more healthier, happier and well rounded me. Let me ask you; are you yourself still feasting on all that you have? and when you attempted to throw me a few bones, only to go back to the usual dumping site and see the bones still laying exactly where you threw them, what did you feel?  Are you void of feelings? were you confused? did you see it as a challenge? or did you simply think that if you threw more bones than usual that i would eventually get tired of starving and eat? Thanks, but no thanks. No more bones please.


Funny thing happened while i was dealing with this starvation; I got so week that i had to stop taking your bones and start to eat from a healthier source; the cycle got reversed.  Now, I am no longer deficient; my nutrient and vitamin intake is sufficient. There is no longer an imbalance between my energy intake and my energy expenditure. I'm accepting no more bones.


God was patient with me, and waited until i was ready, and now my famine is over. I  made the choice to say thanks, but no thanks, made the effort, to walk, even if i had to walk alone until my God decided to change my situation, got treatment through the word of God, and encouragement from those that wanted to share their food, not their bones, and learned of prevention, changed my appetite;  recognized that you meant no harm, its just that this has worked for you for so long that you really don't know how detrimental your bones are to those who need to be fed.


Feed me with something that we both can take and feed others with. Thanks, but no Thanks.  No more bones please.

Crossing Over to 2012

This year is about to be called “last year”, and a new year is fast approaching. I wanted to wish you a happy, vibrant, and prosperous New Year. May we take this upcoming year by force as we find and possibly create new and exciting opportunities to redeem ourselves, or make ourselves better.

This time of the year has a tendency to make us reflect, and be excited about renewing and reinventing ourselves and our spirits. I cheer on those who advocate exercise and healthy diets. But why stop there, I say add to that. Let’s get our minds, spirits, and emotions healthy as well. A Total body health and fitness for me as we cross over to 2012.

Happy New Year!

Hello All. I'm Still Around

Hello All.  I'm still around.  Been a while since i last blogged, but the thoughts have never quit roaring through my mind like a thunderstorm on a hot muggy night.  Glad to report that I'm still growing.  Still loving.  Still learning.  Still laughing.  Every chance i get.  I hope that you are doing the same.  Even though the saying goes "life is short, so enjoy it", Life, is the longest thing that we'll ever have.  So yes, enjoy it, every moment of it.  Slide into what's next like a baseball player sliding into home plate.

SAFE! yells the umpire.

Reflection

Today I’m reflecting on life. As I grow in age it has always been my desire to grow in wisdom and knowledge as well.  I enjoy looking back, and being able to reflect on the things of the past.  It is important to me that I have an awareness of where I am now, a comprehension of where I want to be, and a realization of where I should be.

In reflecting I want to be able to look in the mirror at the person staring back, and really know who she is, and how she became to be.  My walk is and has been very guided, by a God that is ever present.  Have I always listened and followed? No. That’s why self reflecting is so important to me; because now when I take a glimpse in the mirror, I see a woman that was once a princes, with many bumps and bruises from being disobedient, but when I look closer, I see a beautiful backdrop, in the image of a woman that is now a queen that has way more sub-dermal beauty marks than bumps and bruises; because I am a Child of God.

Marvel in Time.

“Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, Now it look as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, There's a shadow hanging over me
oh, yesterday came suddenly

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday” - originally recorded by The Beatles for their 1965 album Help!

Sometimes I wish for Yesterday; but what I yearn for the most is a silhouette of a brighter tomorrow, with a call of yesterday.  Sometimes I don’t want to forget yesterday. Sometimes I need to forget yesterday.  Sometimes I have to forget yesterday, to bring on my tomorrow.

Time

“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives” –NBC Television Network

 Individually, yet rapidly, days of our lives fly by, and sometimes without us noticing how fast time is really passing by.  It’s March of 2011 already! It seems as if it was just Christmas; yet summer is the season that’s peeking around the corner at us.

Time waits for no one.  It certainly is not waiting for me.  I woke up a few weeks ago, and I was 45.Where did the time go? It eluded me and my plans; for it had a plan of its own.

So in an effort to beat time's ass in this race that time started, I’m going to stand still more, watch more, listen more, exercise more,  I’m  managing my own time better, I’m saying I love you more, I’m making wiser decisions, and I’m enjoying life more.  These are just a few things of mine that I’m taking away from time.
