Milestones in the Journey

Since my disappearance from the blogosphere, 

I have passed a few milestones.......

Not in order of importance, 

 nor even chronology....

Eye Trouble

I have read that,
 babies are born near-sighted
 and they can only see the distance
 from Mama's arms to her face.  

As they grow, their vision will usually sharpen 
and they will see things in the distance that they never knew existed. 

For some reason, that tendency to look at what is nearest becomes a habit with us in life.  

the real you

One of the most difficult 

things to remember is 

that each person is 

a unique and distinct being. 

We seem to spend an enormous amount of time and effort seeking to be like everyone else 

and then feel dissatisfied. 

In the midst of trying to fit in with the crowd,

 we yearn to be unique.....

when you want to disappear.........

I have wanted to disappear.

Into the mist.....

Out of my troubles.......

Turn inward. 

Focus on only the necessary.

Leave these virtual pages 

as sort of a phase I went through...

a whim...

something I could not complete.

Kindred Spirits- A Century Apart

I love to read.  

Books.  

Mostly biographies and journals.  

I am not typically a journal writer myself. 

 Yet, if given the option 

between a journal and/or a collection of letters

 or the latest fiction, 

I will choose the journal and letters every time. 

Waking Up

 

It has been a long winter. 

 Your kindness and encouragement 

have helped me through it.  

My journey to find the source and conquer chronic, severe headaches led to answers,

 but no real solutions.  

In the meantime, 

I've had a very interesting journey through the strange and unsettling side effects of some powerful prescription meds.

The Silent Time

One- sixth of the new year has 

passed in silence 

on this blog.  

Not, of course, in my life. 

 I told someone that I had nothing to say, 

but that isn't really true.  

There are just some things that seem to have captured my attention and have taken my coherent thoughts from me.
