Green Bananas

I have been terribly remiss about my blogging, haven't posted for months, but my intention is to start back now, and stay on a regular schedule! I think it will do me good to write about what's going on with me, but also there may be someone else out there that will benefit from some of my experiences - I know that I have certainly been quite fortunate to receive all the prayers, encouragement, advice and love from so many people. Many that I hadn't seen in quite some time, so I take that as a blessing also, this has reconnected me with people I had lost touch with, just bbecause sometimes I allow life to get in the way of living! So this is providing an important lesson for me, embrace every moment and stay in the present! As Eckert Tolle would say, at this moment I have no problems, I feel fine am eating like a pig but generally feeling fine like before all this started. But the bottom line is that the past is over and the future is out of my control, so what I have is right now, so enjoy it!

Everyone here is so king, compassionate and hopeful! They don't deal in negative outcomes and giving up, we just move forward. I know in my heart I'm exactly where I need to be and although from time to time i do feel frightened & overwhelmed, in general, I feel strong and positive! Plus when I need a diversion, I go shopping :-) that always works!!!! I may need another suitcase on the way home, but what the he'll!

My plan is to have our Christmas Eve open house, so I'll have to start planning that when I get back! Plus I have to start my Christmas baking - cookies, maybe this year I'll add cupcakes. We went to the mall yesterday and there was a place I think it was white flower cakes, they had absolutely beautiful cupcakes - I must admit I tried them and they not only look beautiful but taste great too! You can check it out at whiteflowercake.com! Awesome!

They even have an Apple store very close to where we are, so we're fine - as long as you have an Apple store, life is good! I love My Apple!

We're going to run to Target in a little while and then spend the afternoon with Manju, so that should make for a fun, relaxing afternoon! I'll hang out in her massage chair while we're there! They have all kinds of "free" things like reflexology, massage, etc.. So I think I'll schedule something relaxing for tomorrow after my surgery, treat myself! :-)

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to check out Pier One (it's next to Target) Tara and I are going to check out their Christmas decorations after I get home, but just in case they have a different selection here, need to make sure I don't miss anything I really "need" ha ha! Like I really need Christmas decorations, I've been collecting them sine I was a teenager, but as far as I'm concerned, you can never have too many :-)

Well, I'm going to sign off now, will try to post again later. Keep the prayers and love coming, it really helps! Thanks again for everything everyone has done, I'm being carried by angels thanks to all of you!

Remember, "Life's a Journey" and if w just go with the flow rather than trying to control it, it is much more enjoyable and fun! Besides, none of us has control over it anyway, we just try to tell ourselves we do!

Love to all, will keep you posted on what's happening!
