When I began this blog at 78, I had an unspoken commitment to nurture it and to make at least one contribution each month.  It has been a fulfilling experience all these years, along with my entire life!  I’ve come to the conclusion that my life is nothing less than a live stream, no different than when I go online to share in person with my online friends… the difference being  my life is private and my actual live streams ‘go public’.

In this past year, I have shared how grateful I am for everything I have.  I’ve shared my experiences which seemed to me noteworthy for public consumption because I felt they may be motivational for others no matter how old or where they are on their Forever Path. My entries are more like a wide-open journal. I’ve shied away from offering advice, and what I say always comes to my own attention for a learning before anything else it was meant to be. I’ve realized that it is something within me which explodes into words and it is for my own consumption first. The same goes for whatever I write online in Facebook. My personal contentment is apparent to me and whether others appreciate my efforts and intention is nice to know, but this is not my motivation anymore. It is important that I APPRECIATE AND ENJOY IT and I do.

“To Thine Own Self Be True” are words that are inside me as a monitor. Everyone follows their own drum beat. Inspiration is the star in our soul that highlights our beginnings again and again which foster our thrills and joys of living our lives the way we do.

Today I’m finishing the painting project I began around Thanksgiving. Of course, I wasn’t painting every day. I had to take my time and the result is very satisfying.  As ‘life has it’, there have been interruptions which took priority. But that’s to be expected, right?  Life interrupts itself all the time and that’s the quirk which, out of acceptance, keeps me fluid and on my toes and ‘with it’!

This blog has been a meandering of my mind which I have chosen to share spontaneously.

What a wonderful way to live...spontaneously, in the NOW.  Oh, and I’m having another houseguest in a few weeks…someone I’ve known online for a few years now, and she’s coming to meet me in person on her way to California.  It is events like these that are poignant.

In summation, just as Frank sang away, “I did it my way”!  This is all about authenticity and knowing myself and learning and sharing and caring about what’s important to my heart and beingness.

January 7th already…I’ll quietly go about my business while I continue to fill myself up.

Blessed Be, To All Be Blessed.
