Hugs

That ever needed always wanted touch. To have contact with another person, to touch, to hug and kiss or just to be physically close to another, holding hands, is a driving force within all of us. It is almost like the skin is a direct link to the heart and can fill the emotional human need to feel excepted and loved.

The warm squeeze of a hug, the embrace from another that shares love. Are you giving and receiving your daily allotment? What if the person who needs your hug the most is miles away? You can send your words of love through the telephone line but they cannot replace the warmth of a hug. What if you could send a stand in, a proxy hugger?

Having small children around is a way to ensure you are always giving and receiving hugs as they are natural hug magnets. As we age people do not always show the warm affections that we still need in our lives. Are you giving and receiving your daily allotment of hugs?

Key Hole

Time passes, hours, days and minutes slip through the key hole. As I peek past to the other side I see a grand vision. A ballroom filled with women in beautiful dresses and handsome men in dashing attire. All is glittering and gold. Ornate frescoes cross the ceiling overhead and the music whiffs around the dancers.

Vision's of a life through the key hole, filled with grandeur, can dilute our daily existence. We must keep in mind that life does pass quickly, like smoke through the key hole. Today is a great day to be breathing, and hug those we love. A great day to laugh. A great day to be part of the joy around us.

Take the time to truly be part of others lives, those that you call friend and those who are your family. To truly participate in their lives, even from a distance it is possible to show them that you care, that you love them.

What's New?

What's new with you? Is there anything that I would find exciting? Anything that you might think is just another small detail in your day but one that I would find neat that you wish to share? Now remember this is me you are talking to and I find the smallest things in life make the best stories.

Did you have a thought you wanted the entire world to know? Perhaps an epiphany, change your entire outlook on life sort of stuff. Anything? Anything at all?

Perhaps you want to share just what you are doing right now... this very second.

Some Days

Some days you are lifted up. Some days you lift others. Seeking the words that will touch the heart.

Exodus 31:6 The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth.

Are we thankful?
Are we still mystified?

For our children: teach, train, expect and forgive. Remember always God's children as we are all children.

Heart, Body & Soul

Three things that you need to be mindful of when it comes to taking care of yourself and those that you love are the heart, the body, and the soul. Do not give your heart to just anybody, likewise do not just give your body to any bleeding heart. Have control over your physical body's desires and know the right time to express these desires. When it comes down to knowing your heart you must know what you want and to understand why.

We surround our body with stuff. We fill our body with stuff. We spend money on stuff. People see the stuff around others and judge their value by the value of the stuff. Granted a comfortable home, that roof over your head and warm dry bed to rest in is a must. Food on the table ~ healthy food ~ that feeds the body with goodness is also a must. We must keep in mind as we are in the world working, making money, just what do we want to do with this money. How much stuff do we need and what value these objects hold in our lives. Less is more! Live simple. Learn that money is just a tool. A tool to use to accomplish those things in life that you wish to. Remember benevolence is better than greed.

Your soul ~ your being. Your faith in God. Sharing the same faith with your spouse, pray together to strengthen your relationship with each other, and with God.

Heart, body, and soul ~ sex, money, and God. When you understand these things and how they work in your life you will add to the your enlightenment.

It's a Great Day...

It's a great day for a birthday. Happy Birthday my friend!

Psalms 8 ~ Feast of Brigid

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
