FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH SCOTCH-IRISH DECENT...

SELKIRK GRACE

Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it:

But we hae meat and we can eat,

Sae let the Lord be thankit.

(Robert Burns/ 1759-1796)

CROSSROADS...?

Have you ever felt like you were standing at a crossroad or teatering on the edge of that cliff ? If you didn't choose wisely it could all go wrong or get you no where fast!

Lately, that is the way I've been feeling. I don't really want to go right or left, but making my own path straight thru the middle is sure sounding good. Problem is, I just don't seem to have the umph to just jump in blind folded anymore. I seem to be overly cautious and questioning everything. I just have this strong feeling that if I choose incorrectly, it could cause all kind of chaos(not that my life isn't already that way at times). I guess that is why I've been so hesitant lately.

Oh well, enough of me for now. How are things out there in the world ? What are your thoughts and opinions for the day ? Where are you headed in life and where have you been ? Some positive feedback at this point would be welcomed.

Till next time, good night and sweet dreams !

SNACK IDEAS....

Are ya just a little bit hungry ?

Here are some good and healthy snack ideas....

Tomato cheesewich : Cut 2 slices of cheese(your choice) into small cubes, add 3 chopped cherry tomatoes. Gently mix in 1 Tsp. of mayo. Smooth over crackers, toast or bagels, you decide!

Trim crust from a few pieces of bread(your choice), roll flat with a rolling pin. Spread with a half a cup cheddar(or whatever cheese you prefer), and 2 TBsp. of pizza sauce(or any tomatoe base product). Roll up jellyroll style. Cut in 1/2 inch slices, and dot with butter. Place on baking sheet and broil till brown or cheese is melted(which ever comes 1st).

Hope you enjoy the ideas and maybe more will follow in future blog entries.

Until then eat up!

TODAYS' GUIDED MEDITATION...

It is in the middle of the night, and the moons' glow is upon you. You are standing admist the circle of stones. The oceans' mighty waves crash upon the shore in the distance, and a single, ancient tree towers over you. It is whispering secrets of old into your soul. Your journey tonight is one of rememberence of a time very dear to who you are. The appropriate guides appear around you in the circle of stones. To embrace you in their light and to take you back to a time you may have long since forgotten. Know that with your guides encompassing you, no harm may come to you. Take this time to remember and reflect on a life that once was, paying close attention to where you are, and who you where. It may hold some importance to you in this present life. Perhaps, an answer that you have been long since searching for. ..... When you are ready, thank your guides for journeying with you. Feel the moons' warmth upon your head and hear the trees' leaves rustle above you. The oceans' tide pulling on you, and calling you home to the present time. Bring back any information of importance with you as you return.

Love & Light...
