Stay safe Florida. ✨🌹

@shoelady60,

You have a lot going on too. Oz will be in the 40’s tonight I am getting my comforter
out. ✨🌹

Enjoy your evening and stay safe. I am so worried about Oodiebom.

@xango,

I am so glad you checked in and you and hubby are safe. ✨✨

I am waiting to hear from Oodiebom and this is extreme worry.

I know this too shall pass.

Unwritten
Song by Natasha Bedingfield

I am unwritten
Can’t read my mind
I’m undefined
I’m just beginning
The pen’s in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries are outside the lines
We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can’t live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, yeah, yeah

Alanis Morissette
“Uninvited”

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you’re not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd meet shepherd

But you, you’re not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You’re uninvited
An unfortunate slight

I don’t think you unworthy
But I need a moment to deliberate

We will be having rain and high winds here for days – and I mean like into next Tuesday or Wednesday, but it could be worse, so I’m not complaining.
I hope everyone reading this gets through hurricane Ian relatively unscathed.💜🙏💙💕💞

Hi Sheba, here we have rain and wind. The hurricane is suppose to come by our area at around 2AM. We are under a tornado watch from 5AM ton5PM, thing could change.
🍁🍁
My concern right now is Oodie, At around 11 this morning the TV was saying that Manatee Count was on Lockdown. The shelters had closed their doors and first responders won’t be able to respond to any emergency until the storm subsides.
This one is gigantic, I went through Charli in Orlando. With Ian, you can fit Charlie (which came into Florida in 2004) into its eye, that’s how huge this one is. A CAT. 5 and now it’s a CAT 4. 😬😱 I hope Oodie took shelter in a secure place.

Thanks for the lovely sweets, delicious 😋 .
Take care Sheba 🍁🍁🍁🍁

Good afternoon to you. Went out with mom yesterday to look for new pillows for her loveseat. We found gorgeous faux fur ones from Koolaburra.🤗 They look very classy in her room so that part of the redecorating is over. Chair comes the following weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed it all comes together to her liking.🤞 If there is anything else she wants to change I hope she waits until my sister gets back. I need a break.

My best friend just informed me this afternoon that her husband has covid so I guess we won’t be getting together next week.☹ That’s fine since I’m very busy with mom taking her to appointments so we will wait until the following week.

Talked to my SIL in Atlanta and her reaction to Ian was we need the rain.🙄 So much for worrying about her!

Prayers for all in Florida.🙏🙏🙏

The Breath of the Universe

We remember that nature’s power is as close as our breath, and we breathe deeply once again.

We can connect ourselves with a basic force of nature by focusing on the essential element of air during a wind meditation. We begin by centering ourselves on our breath. We inhale the life-giving force, feeling it fill us, and then releasing it into the world to let our breath mingle with the breath of nature. If we cannot feel the wind right now, we can recall times when the wind has sent us caresses on bare skin, ruffling our clothes, and playing with our hair.

We can evoke sounds carried on the wind, maybe laughter or song, or perhaps just the wind’s own whispers through the trees or across the landscape of our ears. We may summon up an image of falling flowers or leaves from above, vivid colors set free with the wind’s encouragement. We may envision birds drifting on unseen currents with wings unbent, or flags and banners unfurled in the breeze. The scent of a sea breeze may come to mind or the aromas of freshly baked treats or fragrant blooms that reach us from a distance. As these memories enliven our senses, we are feeling the vital force that surrounds and animates us. We can look to the trees to sway in time with nature’s rhythm. Just as we can be soothed by the wind, we know that nature has great power. In a rush, it can block out all sound, leaving us with only the beating of our hearts.

Wind can even make the inanimate dance and whirl gracefully. With a gentle sigh, the wind has carried sailors to faraway lands and balloons to great heights. We can entrust the wind to carry our voices and best wishes out into the world, knowing they will be carried to their perfect destination. Releasing these precious offerings to the wind’s care, we remember that nature’s power is as close as our breath, and we breathe deeply once again before returning to the world around us. Amen! ✨✨

Kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten just sending you a shout out please just be safe. 😎✨
