Yep can honestly say that is how I feel at the moment - happy in the moment - no longer looking for the "buzz" - in fact listening to the pace of life that others are experiencing - tires me just listening :) Oh I can remember the days when every minute seemed taken up - and we spend many years in this state especially as Mums who work that I am finally realising that that time has now gone and not to feel lacking in any way - now I really can enjoy the time and space I have interspersed with moments of "business" - got a bit of that coming up as Big J and Sally are up on Sat to celebrate their marriage at Bar Nuevo, Julio and Del have been asked to pluck their guitars in the background, also we are providing sleep space for any who live on the coast and don't want to drive back, then Mon and Tues is getting La Era ready for next punters, Frank is crying poverty in his own way and asking if I can get everything done in a shorter time, I can only do what I can do, and it is all relative I am sure he is feeling the pinch like everyone else at the mo........I am trying to find companies who organise corporate weeks/weekends to promote La Era as it is perfect for this kinda thing as Mark pointed out to me last week and would be beneficial to both Frank and myself - so if anyone can send advice/inroads I would be appreciative :)
Yesterday I did my once in a blue moon check of my hotmail account to find that Friends United has become free and that there was an outstanding connexion from Trudie when she contacted me 3 years ago and due to lapse of membership I couldn't reply, so I tried again yesterday and wow quick response - so many triggers for past recollections coming into my life of late and childhood is the hardest for me to recollect, I can bring very few memories to mind all I can deduce from this is that I didn't particularly enjoy them therefore let everything slip from my mind, as I write I remember a comment my mother would oft utter to her friends if they said something complimentary about me " ah but you only see the good side of her" or " you don't see the other side of her" and these simple statements have coloured my life for so long but like all addictions once recognised loose their hold - I now sit comfy in my own skin - it's quite a novel feeling and is taking some getting used to :)
Ah sweet Sa you say the nicest of things to me well there is another step in the observer..........be prepared.....

For in finding that true stillness, within oneself, one is lifted up into a higher and more

pure state of consciousness. This place is where you begin to know, not see, or hear, or feel, but truly KNOW who you are … and sometimes you may get a glimpse of who your God/Goddess is........The opportunity is within your own thought process, to intend to work within the inner knowing and using the logic to see the other point of view, thus creating two sides of the coin in full consciousness and then melding the two into one true thought…more aptly one true awareness!......Release the "war" within you, and you will bring peace to your world! {The stillness within}

I like this next one - yep I am biased as it coincides very much with my belief system AND experience, I remember when diagnosed with malignant melanoma that I had to discover the reason why if I was going to turn it all around - and the reason I had to get away from home and family - I knew I would be too busy thinking of them to really get to grips with my own thinking - so as harsh as it seemed to them at the time I went off and house sat for a couple of folks for a few weeks and thought and questioned and thought some more until the answers fell into my mind, then it was time to seek other assistance, for me Essiac and distance healing, whatever appealed and came my way or so it seemed at the time, that was over 11 years ago now and I believe myself to be healthier now than I have ever been, funny that oh I haven't seen a Doctor either in the 11 years
When confronted with illness, many seek relief from the discomfort that has been created. It is natural to choose to avoid discomfort. Before you seek to eradicate the symptoms, it is wise to listen to the messages they are bringing you and distill as much information from them as you can. By learning to perceive symptoms at more subtle levels and "reading" their meaning, you gain awareness of the understandings you were seeking by creating the symptoms in the first place.....Many people in your world visit a medical doctor or other healer several times for the same illness over the course of their lives. If an understanding were gained upon the first manifestation of an illness, there would be no need for further healing of it. This is how the body's biofeedback system is intended to work. When a person seeks to avoid the causes of their illness by rushing to the nearest healer to enact a cure, they often fail to get at the root cause.{manifestation}
