It’s not ‘same old, same old’;  I realize I make my life  ‘same new, same new’!

So, folks, I made my move.  I’ve accomplished making a new thought come true.  It’s about creation.  It’s about listening to my inner voice.  It’s about self-fulfillment, satisfaction, and self-motivation.  Now that I’m here and settling into my new home, I have turned a new page in my life, and there are new horizons…literally.  Life now presents a newness to me, and my feelings are that I’ve been waiting and readying myself for this time  and NOW THIS IS THE TIME TO ENJOY IT FULLY.

I don’t feel alone.  I don’t feel lost. I feel more like I have found newness in my life.  New friends, new scenery, new creativity, and most of all, I feel comfortable with all of it. This is living!

I am now catching the dream at my DreamCatcher Ranch!  There’s lots to do here. And, I have the desire and time to spend doing it!  There’s no rush…just greeting each day with enthusiasm and gratitude and an optimistic attitude. (Wait a minute…isn’t this the way it’s supposed to be every day? YES!)   And I realize I am always responsible for making it so.  Making a move out of state may sound a bit radical, but apparently, it was what I needed.  I guess the point is, when I recognized I had impetus for making this big change, it felt easy and doable and ultimately it was. Things fell into place…I had lots of help…there was no push and shove…and looking back, it really does feel like it was meant to be.  I guess all things we do are meant to be.

Life is a gift of experience and learning. And, it’s by our own doing we liven things up when we see we are ready for newness and change.  There will always be something around the next corner I guess.  But Here and NOW, I am grateful for recognizing what all has gone into this life I am living right NOW.

I am mindful of a daily prayer:

This morning I will say, something great is on the way, God sends his blessings to me.

God is the light of my life, the source of my imagination, God in the midst of me knows.

He gives me food for thought, ideas for excellent service, divine intelligence and an abundance of faith.

God in his love pours forth his goodness upon me and my life and world show forth his perfect order.

You are Life.   ~Gaya

My move has been a wonderful experience!  BUT, one thing’s for sure:  I haven’t gotten away from anything about me. In fact, I’m moving toward more about me!

It’s called Baggage!  Whatever issues I’ve had are still mine.  My spiritual practice remains so important to me as I navigate my new life, living in this new NOW…(every NOW is new, of course!). I feel a different aliveness.  I feel a new sense of how I go about ‘things’.  I always want to succeed, whether it’s fixing up this house, making new friends, learning the territory, and in doing this, I’m very aware how I’m tackling these new things.

Having lived in my former home for 19 years, I had become accustomed to my lifestyle.  Now, I’m creating a new lifestyle.  I’m finding new places for things, I have upset my routine. It’s a good thing. 

It is I who created the change, and this is an interesting dynamic. ‘They’ say the elderly don’t accept change easily.  Well, we do when we instigate it!  It’s more like we don’t like being told how and when to do something!  We don’t like surprises!   I’ve said, “Age is no pass to wisdom”.  Now I’ll also say, “Age is a pass to experience.”  No matter what, the more years we have lived, the more experience we have garnered and, hopefully, the more we have figured out about what works for us.

I’ve never loved my life more than this time of my life’  Living life has gotten me ready for living more life! It’s about using  the time I have to do what I want to do.  I appreciate my strengths, and stamina, and interests. The old adage, “If you want it done right, do it yourself” rings a chord these days.

I had lots of help pulling off my move.  My son was exceedingly helpful when we first arrived, and he extended his stay for a few days.  I needed this and was so grateful for his thoughtfulness and aid.  But when he left, I was ready to stand alone and I felt confident.  I drew upon past experience. Independence is a wonderful feeling that hinges with Faith. I have felt the support of the Universe.  I have felt the ease and grace that comes along without push and shove.  I have recognized the synchronicity in my life through this massive choice-experience.  I know I will continue to experience self-fulfillment.

It is true, I am inextricably connected to, and unconditionally loved and supported by, God, Universe, Creator…call it what you will.

Of course,.   ~Gaya

Blessed Be.  To All Be Blessed.  Stay safe and Be Well.
