Firstly, I want to just thank every one of you, for your kind well wishes that each of you left me on my last post with your comments of healing prayers and love that you all poured forth. I truly felt your wonderful love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you. I love and appreciate you all.
Taking time out and allowing the ‘unfolding’ to unfold, in its own time, has been another phase in my learning. As I processed not only my own emotional journey again, via the various scenarios which last month brought into my orbit, which has been both stressful, yet calming at the same time.
My sister has been put on a trial drug, which have had some positive results in others, so we are very hopeful this may aid her in her remission of her illness. Though we have been warned she may well appear to worsen before more positive signs are seen. So thank you again for your love and prayers, any prayers sent to my sister will be much appreciated, thank you.
Secondly, news on our much beloved cat Biscuit. Poor little mite has been through the mill, with having Eleven teeth extracted and stitches. He wouldn’t touch any food, for four days before his operation and nearly two weeks afterwards, other than me smearing food on his lips to try to eat. In the end the vet had to remove the dissolvable stitches early, as they were causing him such distress. Which added more trauma to his mouth. So, it was over another week with my persistence of hand feeding him to get to try and eat any kind of solid food other than the liquidized food I had been giving him by hand.
I can now say he is finally eating soft foods again and regaining some of the weight he lost. He still tires easily, but he has been with my hubby now several times to the allotments and looking more himself. My Hubby too, who during these stressful times was coping with Shingles, is also much better.
I think the Universe also conspired in keeping me off my computer. So, even if I had chosen to return I was being firmly reminded by the universe of what is important and what we can let go of. As a feature in my computer had not been working for some time, so I decided while on a blog break to take in for repair as it was under an insurance cover… When I finally got my computer back, it had been wiped back to factory settings.. So all my apps, and programs, photos, videos, documents all wiped..
Thank goodness I back up important things via a cloud prescription .. I am still in the process of uploading those back, but will have to purchase more software to enable me to even read the documents let alone write them. Another lesson in learning to let go. and what really matters in life. The only things which concerned me was the collections of poems I had written over the years. Which after looking at it through a different perspective, are only words. And many are published here within my blog. Learning to see what is important in life is another lesson we all can all learn from in times of a family crisis.
Time away from the Noise of the world I can recommend.. I feel it is essential during these upside down chaotic times we disconnect from the outer chatter for certain periods of time, to find peaceful moments that feed our souls..
So I have been pursuing a new hobby, of creating journals from scratch, I have been dying paper, with tea and coffee, and painting patterns, learning how to construct a book from scratch, making a hard cover using paper, card and fabrics. It’s been very absorbing, as we reconnect with our creativity and learn new skills.
I can recommend you try it, be it through your own skills, of art, music, or poetry, knitting or sewing . Creating connects us back with our higher selves, bringing us to that place of calm, and that inner peace, while the world rages on, in its chaotic rhetoric, we can find our own inner sanctuary of inner peace via our creative pursuits, in the silence spaces we create within ourselves.

So dear friends, do not forget to give yourselves that wonderful gift of inner peace if the outer world gets a little too noisy and loud… Find beauty in your lives, by going out in nature, looking and the details of a flower, the flight of a bird, the rustle of leaves high in the canopy of trees as the wind blows, or the babbling of running water in a stream.
Or you can rediscover your own creative gifts, and begin your own creative time out from the chaos, to find those inner calm moments of bliss,
Many thanks to all who read here, I will most definitely be catching up with your latest posts over the next few days.
❤ Much loved and Gratitude to ALL.. ❤
