Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.

I am not terribly bothered by changes... and long as they make reasonably good sense. But yes, sometimes we simply have to adapt to what comes along, in order to survive.

Even though you covered a lot of ground with this post, there was something very peaceful and grounding about reading your words. Perhaps what we all seek is our own version of a vibrant life. And maybe

I find that to be true, too. Planting (and growing) things is also close to my best kind of "meditation." At least, it's very peaceful and I feel better at the end of the day.

Well, thank you for saying that! I don't do many "short posts" like this, but this little family seemed worthy.

Yes, that was a special treat... they don't often come so close to the house when they are babies... although the adults in spring will come right up and eat our tulips!

Thanks for sharing @neyxirncn, very interesting dream! The idea of abductions is both fascinating and frightening, at the same time. A good friend who lives here in our neighborhood is a former MUFON director

Yes, I believe the mind-body-spirit connection is really important... and whereas I can't disagree that it's important to stay grounded in reality... we should not be afraid of also taking care of the

Thanks for the kind words as always, Denise... and for the tip! I guess I have wandered around on this ball of rock for long enough to embrace that people just have different priorities... and whereas

Thanks for the thoughtful comment @riverflows! Personally speaking, I find the spiritual life meaningful; I find writing meaningful... I find this type of writing meaningful — it's a major part of what

I will definitely try to make time for this one, even though I have a pretty busy day going...

I would suspect... although there's no way to develop an actual metric to measure it... that the majority of people who used to be here and then left were also people whose primary motivation for being

Nah, she does have an account, although she's an infrequent participant — but thanks for the offer! I suppose I might give it a try... we'll see.
