Fall Back

The ironic thing about this time of year, when we fall back in our time, is this last week I've fallen back, rather fallen back down memory lane into the pathways of old loves long lost.

As I processed this past relationship and looked at my current life, I recalled to mind my favorite Disney movie ever, Aladdin.  The favorite mainly because of Robin Williams' character but in fact there's more reasons why.

At fourteen, listening to the title song, "A Whole New World", I wanted my own Aladdin, to come into my life, sweep me off my feet, and show me the world.  I guess a part of me was hoping for that this week.

However, now in my more grown-up perspective, I see that I don't need a man to "show me the world".  Why? Because I can do that myself.  I'm quite capable of 'seeing the world', thank you very much, Al.

A Whole New World

7 Days of Gratitude, Day Two

7 Days of Gratitude, Day Two

1.) the sunlight streaming through the stairway window with the bugs illuminated by the the light.  I always have liked that.  Its kind of beautiful, in a way.  Nature in one of its finest forms, simply glory revealed.

2.) morning coffee

3.) being woken up by Leo wanting breakfast & receiving snuggles

4.) Michael's sense of humor, having a lover & partner that I can infinitely trust, waking up next to him, & especially morning snuggles

5.) getting stuff done, productivity, in general, which includes all aspects of my creativity, including but not limited to my singing, my writing, my acting, even my garden

6.) Michael at his computer, he looks so cute & it is an image I have become accustomed to

7.) the curiosity of Tansy, its refreshing & not in the least bit entertaining but also is a visible lesson of my need to be awakened each moment to the divine consciousness within and without; to be curious, alive, & fully present

8.) for techies

9.) for my friends & the gifts they offer to the world & universe at large

10.) for finally discovering my true calling, my inner purpose & thus myself, finding true peace & happiness & finally being comfortable with myself

11.) for this day & the expectations it may bring, both good & bad, just the thought of that reality of what may be will be a sign of being fully alive

12.) for Robin Williams & his "spectaculour life" he led, what he taught us about sharing that with the world but not succumbing to our own darkness
