Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. Oodie – your dinner sounds delicious!🦃🍊🍗🥧

We have clear skies, no humidity with temps in the low 80s. Tomorrow we will pick up our fresh turkey along with the veggies and fresh cranberries from the Cape. Also oranges so I can make the relish. I imagine the stores will be crowded. I will be masked and may also include gloves. I hope we can find blueberries and plums since they will be baked with the turkey during the last 5-10 minutes.

The first holidays without your dad will be the hardest. Probably just as tough for your stepmom. I’m happy that you have included her as well. I bet Poppy will be looking for a handout.

I did see the last five minutes of the game. After the Raiders went ahead, I figured KC would tie it with a field goal. Never underestimate Mr. Mahomes. A perfect touchdown in a little over a minute. He is the man!!!🔥🏈🔥

I know we both have what Dorothy teaches. Just wish they could last forever.🥰 Hugs back to you and Poppy in Oz.🤗

Somewhere Over The Rainbow – Judy Garland

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can’t I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?

Feeling Stuck

When we feel stuck, it can be helpful to let go of our resistance to the change that wants to come forth.

When we feel stuck in our lives it’s important to take stock of what is going on and find out if there is something we are doing or not doing that is keeping us stuck. Sometimes the situation is out of our control, and we need to look within to find the patience required to wait with equanimity until things move forward again. Many times, though, we can find the source of our stagnation in our own hearts and minds. Sometimes we are clinging to old ideas about reality and we need to make adjustments that will bring us back in tune with life, so we can flow again. Sometimes we find that fear of change is what’s keeping us stuck, and we can resolve to find ways of facing that fear.

If introspection does not provide the answers we need, it can sometimes be helpful to ask those around you if they notice anything obvious that you might not be able to see. Remember to ask someone whom you can trust to be kind and sensitive as well as honest. Try to let go of your resistance because whenever there is something we can’t see ourselves, it’s because we don’t want to see it. Try to listen with an open mind, and remember that you are always the final judge of what you need. Anything offered to us from an outside source will need to be processed within before its wisdom can take hold.

In all this, be kind to yourself and remember that we all get stuck sometimes. Think of it as a part of your process, a necessary step on your journey, rather than as a problem that shouldn’t be happening. This can help to keep your frustration at bay and give you the space you need to take a deep breath and really figure out what’s going on.

@shoelady60,

Good Afternoon in the burgh. Oz is cold and rainy I am trying to keep warm. 😘💕

My team did a Hail Mary last night. The Raiders are my brother’s favorite team. I told
him for his birthday the Raiders can beat the Chiefs but last night I said all bets were off.
We did it in good fun. 🤣It was a great game. 💕

Give Jake a cool OZ pet and hug. 😘
