I am glad that some of you are becoming friends of the heart and not the mind and that you find my writing to be reminders of what you already know. Enlightenment “coaches” are unnecessary. Best to know that life is not about enlightenment, but self-acceptance.

It is hard for me to begin my eighties with so many daily problems, but hey, I have to accept myself warts and all. Before I came in here (because I had forgotten to take my morning meds),
I had just climbed back into bed because I woke up very early. But here I am, the last two words being the important ones.

Rob and I went to Publix yesterday and we both needed things from Kroger, so he made a late night trip there. For supper we had corn dogs 😉

I have lived through deep waters of sorrow this lifetime, so even going back to bed is a treat. I have all the time I need to practice self-care.

What is your daily life like? Mine is just about getting through the day. No family in town, no social calendar.

On and off throughout the day, I pick up one of my favorite books and read a page or two. They are all saying the same thing, though in different words.

Here is one of MY original thoughts. “Love your neighbor as yourself. Love, your neighbor IS yourself.”

Being one with everything is a full-time job. No wonder I am on my way back to bed. Some of you are sleepy 🙂
