Being human always includes making mistakes, but it's the learning from them that allows us to move forward on to the next big adventure. <br /><br />There are so many things happening on the energetic levels right now that can and do make us question what our lives are about, and where we should be going and what we should be doing next. Sometimes the best answer is nothing. Absolutely nothing, which really equals "Be Still". For in the stillness we can feel and hear our hearts, and tune in to the Universal Consciousness, where we can glimpse a tiny snippet of an image of what it's really all about. <br /><br />You've done a lot, a whole lot more than most people do in their entire lives, and you've still got more life left to live. <br /><br />And that's what it's really about, Living Life. And learning, and loving, and sharing, and trying, and getting stuck, and getting unstuck. And it's all a wonderous thing, despite the bumps (and bruises) that we sometimes encounter. You've already tuned into that with your Simple Pleasures blogs. Each and every day is filled with such things, although we sometimes forget to look at it that way. To steal the phrase from A.A., it's always just One Day at A Time. You do the best you can, and then you get another chance to do it again, maybe better, maybe just differently. It doesn't matter, as long as you do it. <br /><br />I do know how you feel, I've been there. I know that I might very well be there again. At least, I've learned that I CAN get through whatever the hell it is that comes along, as long as I try. Sometimes it hurts, and sometimes I cry. But if I let them, the tears will wash away the crud, just like the rain does when it comes. And then everything is fresh and clean and new again. Ready to tackle another day again. <br /><br />I love you too, Sweetie. Sending lots of hugs and sweetness. <br /><br />P.S. I love what LynnieBee wrote about the orgasms and ice cream!Myriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105751744668848085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2673738674746026775.post-20485909133018000372011-09-04T07:44:55.467-07:002011-09-04T07:44:55.467-07:00You and I are at very different life points, so I ...You and I are at very different life points, so I won't presume to tell you that I know exactly what you're going through, but I can absolutely tell you that I KNOW the feeling you are experiencing right now, I have felt it intimately, over and over and over. (I did e-mail you, but it was before I read this). In a piss poor excuse for advice, this is all I can offer you:<br /><br />-These low, hollow, directionless points are an important part of the journey, they have to happen so that we can rediscover the joys and the "oh, THIS is why I do this", and see the next step. Maybe we have to be emptied out every once in awhile so that we can be filled up again. If you let this be what it is, it will pass.<br /><br />-What you are doing with this blog is SHARING. You are sharing yourself. Whatever you put here is of yourself, and that is a priceless, priceless gift. Nothing you do here is selfish or hollow, it is valuable beyond any words I could put here about it.<br /><br />- I don't know what your next purpose or task is, but I know it's out there and I know you'll figure it out. And it's okay that you don't know it now.<br /><br />- On a lighter note, never underestimate the power of orgasms and ice cream to fix a yucky mood ;)<br /><br />I love you dearie, I'm here, don't give up :)LynnieBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222942955222949903noreply@blogger.com
