It was short, sweet, and definitely a good read. I will not say it was life changing, but I will say it was life affirming and life confirming, as it was another layer of confirmation that I am headed in the right direction. The book is called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Moved-Cheese-Spencer-Johnson-M-D/dp/0743582853" target="_blank">Who Moved My Cheese?</a> and I highly recommend it. In short it is a parable about dealing with changes in your life, whether it be work, education, or personal. The ideas could be applied to anything. I will not spoil any part of the book, but it is a quick read (I read it in a day). It is a book I know I will read again.<br />

It was quite timely, as my life has been full of changes in the past year or so. Changes in jobs, relationships, children, locations. Changes in how and why I craft. This book helped me to see I was already on the right path, and was already making good choices. My perspective on dealing with change and how I view it was what was affected the most. It made me stop and consider how I view change, whether it is good, bad, ugly, planned, or unexpected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am and have always been a big picture kind of person, having the practice and ability to put my current situation into a bigger picture and gaining a perspective in context of other things that are occurring. A bigger picture has always helped me see that things in my life are nearly always temporary and things that happen are nearly always things that are transitory and can be overcome or lived through. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Moved-Cheese-Spencer-Johnson-M-D/dp/0743582853" target="_blank">Who Moved My Cheese?</a> helped me see that yes, things are temporary, but that changes will always come and my attitude in how I deal with any change can help me grow or it can help me wither and stagnate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some big changes that were quite challenging and hard and I haven't like to talk about include the total disintegration of my marriage and the loss of my home. More changes in recent years came in the form of transitioning from a well-educated happy stay-at-home mom to a well-educated struggling working mom. I was fortunate to find decent work, but the process was a challenge. All is good and will continue to be so. My family is good and we have a lot to be thankful for. In the process of all that change, my crafting life went into a hibernation of sorts, a kind of unplanned sabbatical. A necessary trimming of everything that was not necessary to bring calm and stability to my family occurred. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, just now, in 2020 (and don't they say hindsight is 20/20?), I am finding a measure of calm that comes with new dreams and new directions. In the middle of this pandemic. In the middle of this quarantine. In the middle of all these life altering historical events. All things cancelled. Travel restrictions in my state, country, and globally. Mask wearing in public places. Most shopping places either closed, or highly altered. Everyone is zooming and facetiming and staying connected in the most innovative ways.....but all this is a rabbit trail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the fall I will start yet another new journey, as I will begin another level in my education as a graduate student finally. I consider this an investment in myself, and no one can comprehend my level of excitement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope above all things that my children know they are loved and that I would do anything to be the best example to them. I hope to show them strength and vulnerability. I hope they see determination and contentment in me, and also the ability to adapt and change as needed. I hope they learn love and grace in dealing with each other and the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Music and crafting and good friends and family have been paramount to my healing and growing process. Music and crochet are still my main escapes and coping mechanisms, and I am totally fine with that. One change since last year is that I have added music to my crafting adventures, odd as that sounds. It is often imperfect and spontaneous, but it is real and it is me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So much of my current life feels like coming out of a fog and finding all sorts of things that I have somehow missed along the way. These are not regrets or disappointments. They are small joys. New music. New books. New friends. All joys. I do not live a lifestyle of regret or think back to the past and wish things had been or could have been different. I am glad of all that has happened so far, good and bad, the joys and the heartbreaks. All good. All me. </div>

I am just thinking about lots of things these days. I am thinking about how naive and trusting I've always been. How I tend to believe people when they talk to me and choose to see the best in people.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I tend to get my heart broken and crushed and find out too late that people don't always mean what they say. It has always been a shock to me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg60FQRJ7IKtSr-6D2h2qqbl7i5QkwLnGxcBqZQJemqn8KGURm_zmSpBiAzePK7uzHn1TW2XPHt02H1P0-fGVcwibJQUEU-K60fwrt1onGSef_TpZrHJJqLP9kx8opnpfDZPcgt/s1600/Screenshot_20190705-115539_Facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1077" data-original-width="1080" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg60FQRJ7IKtSr-6D2h2qqbl7i5QkwLnGxcBqZQJemqn8KGURm_zmSpBiAzePK7uzHn1TW2XPHt02H1P0-fGVcwibJQUEU-K60fwrt1onGSef_TpZrHJJqLP9kx8opnpfDZPcgt/s320/Screenshot_20190705-115539_Facebook.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And yet....<br />
<br />
I have come to a conclusion, one among many. I will not regret being gentle. I will not regret being kind. I will not regret trusting and believing and will continue to do so. I will always choose to forgive and overlook things, and I will always choose to see the best in people.<br />
<br />
And I will not regret it. It is who I am. I may give my whole heart and have people still hurt me and walk away, but that is their choice. I can still care. I can still love. And I will.<br />
<br />
I will still sing. I will still be thankful. I will still be glad when people are happy and doing well, and I will be sad when things are not going well. You cannot stop me from caring and loving.<br />
<br />
You cannot stop me. Just no.Alipurrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374786444894161920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702485.post-28453456443730687942019-07-17T11:25:00.000-05:002019-07-17T11:25:38.446-05:00Songs in My Head- Tom Waits- Please Call Me, Baby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey, guys!! It's past time for an update. I'm just going to post some pics for now and one of my current favorite songs. This one is by a friend who used to be in orchestra with me, way back. I think it's pretty cool what he's doing with music now. Check it out. That's my friend Jonas Scott Cowan, and that is his song Testify.<br />

Style and True Colors....maybe I've been listening to too much Anthem Lights with my daughters? They are really good at putting several songs together and making one song out of it. Too sleepy to remember what that's called haha<br />
<br />
Got up to look up the songs and got sidetracked pretty bad.....ended up here watching this super cool Tiger Cake recipe. Love it! Guessing I'll be attempting this sometime this year.<br />

Midnight,<br />
You come and pick me up, no headlights<br />
A long drive,<br />
Could end in burning flames or paradise<br />
Fade into view, oh, it's been a while since I have even heard from you (heard from you)</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #707070; font-family: Roboto, arial, 'Noto Sans Japanese', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
I should just tell you to leave 'cause I<br />
Know exactly where it leads but I<br />
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #707070; font-family: Roboto, arial, 'Noto Sans Japanese', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye<br />
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like<br />
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time<br />
'Cause we never go out of style<br />
We never go out of style</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #707070; font-family: Roboto, arial, 'Noto Sans Japanese', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt<br />
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt<br />
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time<br />
'Cause we never go out of style<br />
We never go out of style.</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #707070; font-family: Roboto, arial, 'Noto Sans Japanese', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
So it goes<br />
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road<br />
Takes me home<br />
Lights are off, he's taking off his coat, hmm, yeah.<br />
I say, "I heard, oh, that you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl."</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #707070; font-family: Roboto, arial, 'Noto Sans Japanese', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
He says, "What you've heard is true but I<br />
Can't stop thinking about you, " and I...<br />
I said, "I've been there, too, a few times."</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #707070; font-family: Roboto, arial, 'Noto Sans Japanese', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; padding-bottom: 10px;">

Take me home<br />
Just take me home, yeah.<br />
Just take me home<br />
(out of style)</div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #707070; font-family: Roboto, arial, 'Noto Sans Japanese', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; padding-bottom: 10px;">

This is the result of a whole lot of hours of work, and just a small amount of the items I took to sell. It went pretty well. My favorite part of that weekend was seeing and hugging friends and spending the weekend with my mom and dad. I got to watch movies with mom and have some good talks with my dad. Good times</div>

This morning I had a really nice dream right before I woke up and I wanted to write it down. At the very end of the dream me, my mom, and a bunch of kids we were accidentally chaperoning were getting a private tour of the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall in Nashville and got to sit wherever we wanted in the wings and really close to the stage to hear Harry Connick, Jr casually sing us a private concert. Only after I woke up did I realize that the stage was completely different than the stage at the Schermerhorn. I just love that symphony hall, and think it is so beautiful.<br />
<br />
The dream started when mom and I were driving, headed back to her house. We had to take a detour because the road to her house was undergoing some construction (which it is right now). We stopped at an old looking gas station on a little hill to get gas, and mom was passing out $100 dollar bills to random helper people at the gas station. The lady said the bathroom was probably not working, but I really had to go, so we started walking around the gas station building to find the bathroom for ourselves. We ended up looking out a window and then going out a doorway to a quaint little town where people were having a celebration of some sort where they were dressed in old fashioned costumes and dresses. We ended up in a building with a group of kids who were going to a camp of some sort. We helped them do some volunteer work, and then at the end of the dream we got to tour the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall with Harry Connick, Jr. I don't remember the song he was singing, but he was so close and we were so near the stage. At the end I was sitting criss cross applesauce on a carpeted area near the edge of the side of the stage and was turning the flash off my camera so I could take some pics while he was singing. Good dream. The end<br />
<br />
Here's a random Harry Connick, Jr. song I like, even though it wasn't in the dream<br />

I know you so well<br />
I can tell by the sound of your voice<br />
If you're really in love with me<br />
And you are<br />
You are<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
You know I can't lie<br />
If I say to you 'baby, I love you'<br />
Then baby, I love you<br />
And I do<br />
I do<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
I do... could it be that's the<br />
Phrase you thought never would phase you<br />
Well baby, you better hold on tight<br />
'Cause I'm the one who's supposed to<br />
Kneel down and propose, well alright<br />
I might, I might<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
So, when I kiss you good-night<br />
Just sleep tight with the thought that you'll<br />
Always be caught up in love with me<br />
And you'll dream that the stars up above<br />
Have the answer of whether we'll be<br />
Or whether we won't be<br />
In love...<br />
Well, we are,<br />
We are</div>

One thing led to another and I needed to find a ball of grey yarn that I *knew* I had just seen in my basket a couple of days ago. The result is that this morning I am using the quiet time before all the kids get up to completely empty my yarn basket and see what's in the bottom. I am ending up spending some time rewinding small balls of yarn and untangling others. Some day I'll realize that this is a process I need to do more regularly, haha. Nearly to the bottom of the basket now and still haven't found the grey. The good news is that I'll get to go through my yarn shelves and project bags to see if that's where it ended up :).<br />
<br />
I've always found untangling things and unknotting things and oddly calming activity. Going to have to credit my dad for that. When he was in the navy he learned all kinds of knots. Combine that with lots of patience and determination and you have someone who is good at teaching not only knots, but unknotting and detangling.<br />
<br />
edit-- actually, now that I'm at the bottom of the basket, I'm realizing that the next step is the couch, which always ends up being a resting place for yarn, yarn project bags, finished objects, etc. I do *try* to clean up the couch at least once a week, and sometimes twics (don't fail over from fainting), but it always ends up with more yarn stuff by the end of the next week.<br />

basket find-- crocheted heart, ready to be sewn onto *something*--proud I put it back in the basket and am continuing on my original quest, to find the grey yarn, instead of stopping this untangling to make something cute to sew the heart on to (hopefully, I'll find the grey soon, will finish current project and will get to make something for the little heart) haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and yes...I always stop the yarning to feed the children, wash the dishes, take out the trash, hug the children, etc etc. I even get outdoors in the sunshine every day, even if it's just to go to the mailbox, water the kitties/flowers, and feed the cats---all that counts as going outside)</div>

a few of my recent creations.....I just love all the colors! These were all fun, fairly quick projects. The little purses are not quite done, as I'm looking for some fabric to line them with. They were so fun to make that I'll likely be making more little purses in different colors and sizes.<br />
<br />
The only other exciting craft happening around here is that the little shop where I help out, Raggle Taggle, is moving to a larger location.....in another city! I won't be able to work in the shop like I have been, but I'll still help with crochet classes. It's been a fun season, to work in a little shop like that. I've had a relaxing summer so far, and I've spent quite a lot of time at home, doing things with the family. The dowtown Saturday farmer's market is still calling my name, so I might still do that. The market runs all the way through October, so I have plenty of time to join in if I want to :). We'll see....I'm really enjoying time home with the babies (though they're not babies anymore!). My oldest will be in high school marching band this year, so I'll likely be going to all kinds of marching band competitions, in addition to lots of gymnastics meets :)<br />
<br />
Some recent family pictures (sure do love these people)--<br />

It is one we sing at church. It is that sweet season in the summer where the kids are going to vacation bible school, and are singing all the songs and having lots of fun. It won't be long until school starts, so we're trying to make summer stretch out. We've had a mild summer so far. No extreme storms or temperatures. This week, however, we're finally feeling hot, and the heat index is rising to 109 on some days. That's pretty hot for around here. The actual temperature was hovering around 99 yesterday. Next week my oldest daughter will begin her high school journey by going to her first band camp. She is in for a treat and a shock, making lots of friends and memories. I am totally looking forward to school supply shopping, though :). One in 9th grade, one in 6th, and one in 3rd grade. It's going to be a fun year. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Savior I come<br />
Quiet my soul remember<br />
Redemption's hill<br />
Where Your blood was spilled<br />
For my ransom<br />
Everything I once held dear<br />
I count it all as loss<br />
<br />
<i>[Chorus:]</i><br />
Lead me to the cross<br />
Where Your love poured out<br />
Bring me to my knees<br />
Lord I lay me down<br />
Rid me of myself<br />
I belong to You<br />
Lead me, lead me to the cross<br />
<br />
You were as I<br />
Tempted and trialed<br />
Human<br />
The word became flesh<br />
Bore my sin and death<br />
Now you're risen<br />
<br />
Everything I once held dear<br />
I count it all as loss<br />
<br />
<i>[Chorus]</i><br />
<br />
To your heart<br />
To your heart<br />
Lead me to your heart<br />
Lead me to your heart<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: #ccccdd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13.3999996185303px; line-height: 19.1428565979004px; text-align: center;">
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue<br />
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view<br />
A wondrous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold<br />
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky<br />
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by<br />
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide<br />
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know<br />
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go<br />
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree<br />
And his hand came down empty<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road<br />
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad<br />
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell<br />
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared<br />
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard<br />
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black<br />
Now my tapestry's unraveling - he's come to take me back<br />
He's come to take me back</div>

I've always felt a special connection to this album, since it was released in the year of my birth. There are so many good songs on this album, and Carole King is such a good song-writer and musician. I love the idea of our lives being like a tapestry, woven with the stories of our lives. </div>

Here's a good one for today, though<br />
True Colors, the orignal version by Cyndi Lauper<br />
<br />
growing up is one of those things<br />
one of those things that takes time and years<br />
you see people grow and change<br />
some for the good and some not so much<br />
for all my friends and family<br />
I see you<br />
I love you<br />
as you grow<br />
as you change<br />
no matter what<br />
you're still there<br />
it's okay to be yourself<br />
<br />

Blast from my past, from middle school, haha. Here's the song running through my head when I woke up this morning.....<br />
<br />
<b style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13.4399995803833px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/georgemichael/carelesswhisper.html" target="_blank">"Careless Whisper"</a></b><br />
<br />
<div style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13.4399995803833px; margin: 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
I Feel So Unsure<br />
As I take your hand<br />
And lead you to the dance floor<br />
As the music dies<br />
Something in your eyes<br />
Calls to mind a silver screen<br />
And all it's sad goodbyes<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<i style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[Chorus:]</i><br />
I'm never gonna dance again<br />
Guilty feet have got no rhythm<br />
Though it's easy to pretend<br />
I know you're not a fool<br />
I should have known better than to cheat a friend<br />
And waste a chance that I've been given<br />
So I'm never gonna dance again<br />
The way I danced with you<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Time can never mend<br />
The careless whisper of a good friend<br />
To the heart and mind<br />
Ignorance is kind<br />
There's no comfort in the truth<br />
Pain is all you'll find<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<i style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[Chorus]</i><br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Tonight the music seems so loud<br />
I wish that we could lose this crowd<br />
Maybe it's better this way<br />
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say<br />
We could have been so good together<br />
We could have lived this dance forever<br />
But now who's gonna dance with me<br />
Please stay<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<i style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[Chorus]</i><br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Now that you've gone<br />
Now that you've gone<br />
Now that you've gone<br />
Was what I did so wrong<br />
So wrong that you had to leave me alone<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
a song about honesty, cheating, lying, making mistakes, careless words....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
it's a kind of a lament, a song of regret</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It just reminds me that we all screw up sometimes and mess up big things and small things. In the song a potential true love is messed up. All that to say, it's worth it to think twice before saying and doing careless things or doing things just because they feel good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes it feels good to just say that thing you shouldn't say or eat that thing you shouldn't eat. Sometimes it's a pretty serious mistake and you risk a relationship, your career, or your life. It's worth it to slow down and not just do things because you know it would make you feel better to say or do that thing in the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lots of times it's better to hold your tongue, choose to be nice, and let it go. Just choose to forgive and not let it bother you. Just let the temptation slide. Turn around and walk away if you have to. In the song, a man lost his love. It is fiction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In our lives, we know that careless words can hurt others and careless actions can affect our lives in countless ways. All I'm saying is slow down and go ahead and enjoy the song, but keep picking yourself up each day and make some choices to stay on the high ground. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm kind of talking to myself here, too.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Be nice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Listen and not talk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Get up and do the things you need to do</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make a habit of doing the good things</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stop when you're full</div>

but then I woke up with a song running through my head, and I had to share it.<br />
This song is a newer song, as in....it's not from my middle school or high school days. I'm familiar with it because I hear it on the radio. I wanted to post it to prove that fallacy to be false, you know the one. The one that says the current generation of popular music is all junk, and all the older music (i.e. "from when I grew up") is the only good music, and "they don't make good music anymore," or "all today's music is junk." Well, you know some of it is good, and some of it's not. Just like when I was growing up. Just like when you were growing up. It wasn't <i>all </i>good. None of us ever want to admit it, though. Just like not all of <i>today's </i>music is bad.<br />
<br />
Another thing is that I'm kind of a silly romantic, and daydream about my sweetheart singing me songs or taking me dancing, or surprising me with flowers. You know, just silly girl stuff. I don't really expect all that from my husband. He has his own sweet ways of showing me love and affection. You may think this is silly, but I kind of consider the songs in my head when I wake up in the morning a kind of message from God, and a kind of encouragement. <i>He </i>knows how much I like songs and can relate to them. <i>He </i>knows all the silly parts of me, like wanting songs sung to me (well, I guess all 5 of my readers know, too, now, haha ). Soooo, in a silly girl, logical kind of way.....I consider this a song message from Him to me this morning. Take it however you want, but read the lyrics and listen to it.<br />

<span class="text Zeph-3-17" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;">When my babies were small, you know what I did? I did what all moms do. I nursed and rocked my babies. I quieted them with my love and sang them lullabies and songs. I rejoiced over them with singing. I nurtured them, just as God does with us. Yeah, I think He has some feminine qualities like love and nurturing. Just think of Jesus never rejecting the children and always welcoming them and blessing them. Can't you picture Him singing them songs? </span></div>

Felt really good to get the weeds out and get some dirt under my fingernails. Recently at a store I found some little white hyacinths for 98 cents each, so I got 3. I planted them yesterday afternoon under my redbud next to my crocuses. I watered them this morning, too.<br />

I thought I'd give us all a pep talk. Things seem overwhelming for all of us at times. For some it is major events---fire, death in the family, earthquake. For others, it can be as simple as a sink full of dirty dishes and 3 baskets of unfolded laundry. No matter what your current place is, it is a season. It is not forever. I know I sound like a broken record. I'm always thinking about seasons and transitions. For the most part, though, the things we go through will change with time. Most of us have no long term trauma to deal with. Most of us are not starving or slaves or in any kind of holocaust of sorts. It's a matter of perspective, I think, because there are still those on the planet who have chronic suffering. And most of us in the soft comfortable world of first world problems have a tendency to ignore and put out of our minds those who chronically suffer today. We cannot forget those who suffer. We must remember them and try to help if we can.<br />
<br />
That said, we cannot let things out of our control totally overwhelm and depress us. Only certain things we can control. We can control our thoughts and prayers. We can control our words and actions. We can control our choices.<br />
<br />
I just want to throw out there that I think we can choose kindness and gentleness more, not only to the world around us, but to ourselves and our close families. Be kind to yourself. Be gentle with yourself. You don't have to compare your pain and suffering with another person's life. You don't have to say that your pain is not worthy of love and compassion, grace and gentleness. It is. Even if you compare it, and in the big scheme of things, you think think your pain is minimal. It might be. It might not be. It is still ok to be kind and gentle to yourself.<br />
<br />
Most of us only show others a mere surface view of our lives. We crop it and photoshop it, and put pretty borders and filters on it til it looks just so. I showed you pictures of crocuses, but I didn't show all the mud and dead grass all around. I didn't show the carport filled with kid clutter--old broken bikes, cardboard boxes, rakes, stuff, etc. I didn't show the grass growing through the broken asphalt around our broken down van in our driveway.<br />
<br />
And yet......the crocuses are enough. They are beautiful by themselves. It's ok to search and find those small things of beauty to be thankful for. I just want you to know.....hey guess what??? All the people you compare yourself to.......they crop and photoshop their world, too. They compartmentalize and crop out the ugly, and don't share it with anyone. They share the pretty parts. We all do. Let's be gentle with them, too, and try not to judge or compare. It's possible they're trying to hide their pain, too, and put on a calm front.<br />
<br />
So I say good morning and I love you. Find some encouraging words to say to yourself today and also those around you. It sounds like a cliche but it's true. Your kind words or hug today may be the only kindness they hear.<br />
<br />
Thought I was done with this post, but I remembered a story from when my girls were younger. When my 2 girls were like 8 and 5 (hard to remember), they had a habit of hugging people in the grocery and telling girls and ladies that they were beautiful. Well, one day they were doing their little girl thing, passing out hugs and kind words, and they made a check out girl cry. She said that it was the first time in her life that anyone had ever told her she was beautiful. This young check out girl made it all the way to college age without anyone telling her she's beautiful. Such a simple thing my girls did that day.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure that check out girl will remember that hug and those words for a long time. So if no one has told you anything encouraging, I'll get you started. You have been created for a specific purpose. You are worth spending time with, and you have special talents and strengths that no one else has. Don't let the photoshopped world get you down.Alipurrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374786444894161920noreply@blogger.com2
