@kittengirl,

I think this is the post I missed. I am not referring to age it’s just that I like older genres of
Movies and Songs. Laura is a classic and I love that film. ♥ I like John Ford’s Westerns well
made and I look at some movies of today and the style is very different. I guess I like what
my parents like. I am also a History Channel Buff and Science Channel and of course PBS.
I am curious by nature as we all are. 🙂

@taci,

Happy Halloween and Happy Trails on your walk or hike. ♥

My mom still watches it. ♥

@kittengirl,

Well the gang’s is all here. Hoagy is a singer and song-writer. I remember him from the
Best Years Of Our Lives. ♥ The show comes on in my region on Cable TV. My mom use
to watch all the westerns.

@Sheba,
ROFLOL! OmGoodness! Such a handsome man! LOL! Thank you, thank you, thank you! LOL! 😀

I did post one you missed just above your long live the queen pic yesterday. I think you had signed off already. It was in response to James Garner and about the Laramie men! Oh when you look up Laramie you will have to post picks of John Smith and Robert Fuller for the ladies here! Such handsome hunky men! Woo Hoo! LOL! Thanks for the pic of Chad. I have a 3×4 b/w photo of him from when I was a young girl swooning over him. I still have it. So funny.

I hope you are feeling better and having a good day. I just took one of my heart meds and I’m getting woozy so gotta go get my breakfast in my tummy.

Honoring All Experiences

It is important when pain comes our way to honor the experience, as it is usually a great teacher.

Honoring the experiences we have in our lives is an invaluable way to communicate with life, our greatest teacher. We do this when we take time at night to say what we are thankful for about our day and also when we write in a journal. Both of these acts involve consciously acknowledging the events of our lives so that they deepen our relationship to our experiences. This is important because it brings us into closer connection with life, and with the moment. Only when we acknowledge what’s happening to us can we truly benefit from life’s teachings.

It is especially important when pain comes our way to honor the experience, because our natural tendency is to push it away and move past it as quickly as possible. We tend to want to brush it under the rug. Yet, if we don’t, it reveals itself to be a great friend and teacher. As counterintuitive as it seems, we can honor pain by thanking it and by welcoming it into the space of our lives. We all know that often the more we resist something, the longer it persists. When we honor our pain, we do just the opposite of resisting it, and as a result, we create a world in which we can own the fullness of what life has to offer.

We can honor a painful experience by marking it in some way, bringing ourselves into a more conscious relationship with it. We might mark it by creating a work of art, performing a ritual, or undertaking some other significant act. Sometimes all we need to do is light a candle in honor of what we’ve gone through and what we’ve learned. No matter how small the gesture, it will be big enough to mark the ways in which our pain has transformed us, and to remind us to recognize and value all that comes our way in this life. ♥

Cherie,

I am on pins and needles about Rick’s last two episodes. I hope they don’t just eat him.
I hope what was up in the air takes him. Maybe he can come back when the show ends.
Oh well it was a great ride and I bet your hubby will tell you that I had a great ride with this
show. I a little bit of Carole, Maggie and Machonne when it comes to fighting. Mess with my
family game over. 🙂 On Carole’s character I watch her lose her daughter and it was heartbreaking
and her husband beat her. Carol became a warrior. Everyone especially the women have lost
loved ones. I believe that is what gives them their power. I hope you like your Iman. ♥
Headache did take a hike. Tis the season with extreme weather and all. I am feeling a little better today.

Oh next week is the Firemen’s station with baked goodies. You go Cherie. ♥ Happy Halloween.

Be sure to let everyone taste a sample. ♥

@kittengirl,

Here this should make your day. Hope you had a good walk. I hope I did not miss a post.
If I did let me know please. Happy trails to you.

@bichon18,

How are you and Jerry doing today? How is Avi I know you were concerned about him.
I would be so nervous if it were me. I can handle me being knocked out but not my
fur-baby. Here is to a wonderful day. 🙂

@loaf,

Tis the time of year for candy apples I love then. ♥ Looked at the Celine Bags and they
are lovely. Good to see you Loaf this time of year I am thinking about Mcpoopoo.

Enjoy this crisp fall day. 🙂

@loaf, Hi loaf, How have you been? How is your friend doing? That duster sounds so pretty! I love velvet, it’s so soft (like kitties, lol). What color did you get? The purse you got from Iman is really nice, you got black, right? I really enjoyed her shows. I missed a couple but recorded them so have been watching the ones I missed. I just love when she visits and can’t wait until her next visit in November. I hope she brings those berets the models wore in the pics. I am about to leave on my morning walk but wanted to say hi. Have a great day! 😀

@Cherie,
Yep, busy with fur baby things! 😀 Your new Iman goodies are very nice! You have dark hair, right? They will suit your coloring very well and look so pretty! 😀 How nice that you have been able to see Joyce! I would LOVE to see her in person! She is one great teacher! I just love her! Like I said, I don’t start my day without her and Joel Osteen. They are so uplifting!
I don’t like gore or sorcery programs either and I don’t watch much ghost stuff either. It depends on how it is presented though because it does exist. If it is factual it doesn’t bother me but otherwise I can’t watch because I’m highly sensitive to that kind of thing because I have dealt with that before and not going to say much more than that on a public forum. Both my daughter and I are highly sensitive. This was all many many years ago. I only had one cat at the time but she was aware of it too, I guess we all had no choice but to be aware. I’m not going into detail but it was something else! Our church came in finally and everything was taken care of. These things are real and I don’t take them lightly, but greater is God…
No, I don’t dress up any kitties, they wouldn’t let me! LOL! I always wanted to put Ernie in a hard hat and tool belt when our house was being renovated but could never find one that was cat sized. He had a special relationship with our contractor (who remains a family friend). Ernie would follow him everywhere and “help”. Oh kitties… they are just so adorable! 😀
I am about to go on my morning walk. Have a great day! 😀
