Jude  your post makes me want to go to the thrift shop and see if they have eye glasses for me.  maybe someone with an astigmatism and one eye stronger than the other made a drop off there
 
Wordless, what you said reminded me of something I heard on a dvd interview with someone named Drunvalo Melchizedek.  He said before there was language on earth no one was seperated. It was language that really seperated people, as they all had their different languages.  I think that was it the gist of what he said.  I would have to go back and listen again. 
 
I smiled having someone over tonight for a walk which turned out to be tea as by the time she got to my house at 7pm it was raining and in the upper 40s.  I suggested a nice warm cup of tea instead.  Or as the brittish would say, a cuppa c(_)  It was a wonderful conversation and I was oh so happy to smile with her. 
 
I think that each moment that we can smile is a grace. Sending love light and smiles

I received a Blessing, that of a Cardinal.  When I dashed out to get some lunch, i returned and sat in my car, it is always cold in the office.  As i looked up there was the most Beautiful Red Cardinal just right there in the shrubbery, came to the outter edge of the branch and just stayed.  As soon as I saw it, I could hear Austin saying Bird, birrd birrd, over and over again as he would be trying to pronounce it right, he would get so happy and excited, and isn't it the male that gets all the  RED??   Call  it coincidence,  call me crazy,  call it my imagination running,  I call it my Best Blessing of the day!!

I called out to God for how much I want Austin and then Thanked him for the Cardinal and all of you, health to be able to work, work to keep me occupied through several hours of the day, and to guide me through this endless pain and sleepness night, headaches and stomach issues=  is all that normal in this thing called Grief??
The Cardinal stayed for over 10 mins so close yet so far away, and then he flew off, I asked him to please fly to Heaven and give Austin a message for me,         if only he could.
 
When can I go upstairs to tuck in my Baby boy.....
 
I wish you all a pleasant day and may you find your Best Blessings through out the day,

Dear Xanadu,
it is good to see your posts on Forum pages!

Call  it coincidence,  call me crazy,  call it my imagination running,  I call it my Best Blessing of the day!!

I like to call it Sign from Heaven! And I believe that it WAS a Sign from your little Angel Austin!
Things that only you can recognize as a sign from your dear boy come from endless love you and him had for each other.
That bond between two of you can never die or being cut.And those signs are very important things for us,
those are the moments of light,warmth and joy coming from feeling that for a second we felt so close to our Angels...
Those moments are blessings for our broken hearts.
Sending love and blessings your way
Buba,Goran's mom

I think that each moment that we can smile is a grace

It is indeed Liliwings as well all happily know..



Dear Wordless,

Fear and doubt in within us all and one day please God we will heal from this.

Just my thought's mind you.




Dearest Jude,

The mind does boggle but then many people would say that when they read my posts.

Bless your friend I just hope these glasses don't do her more harm thnn good.




Xanadue My Dear ,

What a beautiful post to share with us all...thank you.

Buba has said all what I feel ~ what a gift it is to see these signs from our loved ones.

I called out to God for how much I want Austin and then Thanked him for the Cardinal and all of you, health to be able to work, work to keep me occupied through several hours of the day, and to guide me through this endless pain and sleepness night, headaches and stomach issues=  is all that normal in this thing called Grief??

Xandue your life is not the life you so badly need but through Austin,your Faith and your Friends

one day your heart with fill with all of those precious memories you have of Austin and the grief

will become less raw.(I am learning this slowly Xanadue and also from what other's tell me).

I am not sure what is 'normal' as like many of us our 'normal' is changing each and everyday we

wake.Xanadue maybe you should  take a small trip to your doctor just to check out your

headaches and tummy upset.

I am sure Jesus tucks in your blue eyed boy every night and gives him extra kisses and hugs

from his wonderful Mummy.

Take care Xanadue ,love and understanding Sandraxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

Oh My goodness I neeeeed to share this with you all.

Well last night I asked Louis to take my hand and he did!!I like Dear Xanadue I got a sign

Jesus and our loved ones will indeed always be there for us.

I now have a Puddy Catwell ermm that's not entirley true as I am not sure if she is a girl or

a boy however I am still it's making me feel like a Mummy again.


Oh the joy I feel after a few hiccups is so warm and welcoming to me!

What a joy it will be to come home to a person( see Sparrow I have learned) that will say

hello and melt my heart.

Must dash now and do some work ...but before I do not sure if I told you this though

Love to all ...Be home later to post my emotions..Sandraxxxx

I smiled today because I saw one of my favorite birds . . .
a Carolina Wren

everything counts... ♥

Unity consciousness is not dependent on my intentions for myself which tend to separate me from Spirit, or at least lessen the connection. Verbally I may say one thing one second and do another completely different thing the next. So happiness or sadness are relative terms, and whether I feel good and nurtured at this moment has little to do with all those who do not, seconds or others, all. One is considered selfish if happiness is one's major direction. Contentment and peace on the other hand are eternal and capable of relating to any experience if we do not separate out the self and other.

Sparrow, what a beautiful little bird!
 
Jude

Love is the only way

I wonder how birds see us. 

Good question
 
Many of my garden birds see me as a meal ticket
 
Jude

Love is the only way

. . . a beautiful bird indeed

everything counts... ♥

Twit tsi tee tee, ta terp-de-terp twittly terp eee eee ch che cheet dddttt?

Today with gratitude  I smiled so hard I thought my face would crack not literally when I read Judes post about the bifocals as I buy my eye glasses at the dollar store and wear 2 pairs at once it is so nice to have company
Im smiling today because I am treating myself to a haircut and style with my most favorite stylist who is a wondeful person and happens to be transgender however is the only stylist to make me love or manage my wildly curly hair so it will be a joy to sit in the chair and catch up and I always enjoy learning about the outfit and jewelry worn. Im smiling for all here who have birds, walks by the lake oh how I cannot wait to have weather to do that soon well running off to hair chair he woodworking sounds calming and serene I only wish I had the gift
Namaste
Barbara

God I gratefully await and accept your miracles for me that I may be a witness to your wonder

I buy my eye glasses at the dollar store and wear 2 pairs at once it is so nice to have company

 
Barbara....I'm speechless!
 
Jude

Love is the only way

so many wonderful posts. ahh where to begin.  "you start at the very beginning....... "
Xanadue: Best Blessing of the day!!  indeed!!!!  please fly to Heaven and give Austin a message for me, if only he could.  Are you sure he can't?  I do believe that Austin does get your messages.  The future will hold times of light for you, although how could you see that during this your darkest "hours" of grief?  I send you love. 

Buba, I feel gratitude that you are back with us.  Thank you forr the words you write from the deepest place in your heart.  much love to you.

Sandra, your words today are extra beautiful.  Thank you for what you wrote to Xanadue.  I am not thanking you for her sake. But for my own. Because I got to read your words of beautiful love and wisdom.  thank you
Sweetie, congratulations on the birth of Isabella, even if Isabella turns out to be a boy.

Sparrow, beautiful photo.  Thank you so much for putting it here.

Wordless One is considered selfish if happiness is one's major direction. Contentment and peace on the other hand are eternal and capable of relating to any experience if we do not separate out the self and other.   I consider happiness to be very important contribution to filling the "well" of humanity and earth.  Especially when I pray that it be used for the greatest good.  After all, is not happiness the natural state of a child?  I agree about contentment and peace as well.  All states of being of the heart.

Barbara  yayyyyy you are going to be pampered.  I love the description of your hair. I used to have hair like that.  wild and curly. and a lot of it.  that was in the past.   So I hope you enjoy every hair on your head !!!   I use drugstore glasses for reading.  And yes, I have gone so far as to use two pairs at once.  (Jude will be doubally speachless !) I found a sale for three pairs of glasses for 15.00 with a coupon for 5.00 off.  Well I bought 6 pairs. so when I misplace 5, I will always have a 6th somewhere !! I wish we could get to see a picture of your great wild curly locks

Sending light and love, liliwngs

I'm doubly speechless!
 
I have to say, I have yet to find a pair of glasses, which weren't my own prescription, that I could see a thing through.
 
Jude

Love is the only way

Jude, because I have an astigmatism. I should have prescription eyeglasses.  Someday I will be able to afford them.  I do afford them for distance because I want to see well to drive. 

Sending love and


liliwings 

My Sparrow,
 
Jude is right what a beautifiul bird...Your so clever knowing the names
 
of so many birds I only know a hand full of birds names.
 
Is that bird called Carolina because that's where they originated
 
from or is this me just being me.
 
 
 
Hello Wordless,
 
I feel birds see me as  scarecrow for many reasons.
 
 
 
 
Dear Barbara oh you made me smile you really did bless you!!!
 
When I was little I had a few locks but they soon sadly went as
 
I became a horrid toddler.
 
It's lovely to hear your treating yourself!Your sylist sounds an intresting

Are you sure he can't?  I do believe that Austin does get your messages.  The future will hold times of light for you, although how could you see that during this your darkest "hours" of grief
 
How very true your words are ,I feel when our grief is so deep we
 
often are not able to see the signs our loved ones send us.
 
Love to all ,Sandra xxxx
