November to December

Another time to reflect on the past month, the blessings, mishaps, good news and bad. A time also to look forward to the goodness that awaits. Meanwhile, as the calandar changes the present moment dares us to appreciate and respect each minute we are alive and well and able to make the best of what is. 

Priceless and timeless gifts; Respect, love, kindness, peace, compassion, hope and joy!

May Day's

May occurs in the Northern Hemisphere at spring time 
full of hope a time for starting over when things like school ends as a new season awaits. The birthstone is Emerald which is associated with love and success. So right off the bat May babies got that going for them. 

May Day, usually May 1st, recognizes workers worldwide. It has historically prompted a particular unity among those mindful of the day. 

With regard to radio and telephone communications, 
"MAYDAY" is an international indication of distress. 

Mother's Day in the United States is celebrated in May. People tend to get misty and reflect on everything good about their beloved mothers. Flowers, special food and other gifts and gestures of love and appreciation are part of the celebration.

Memorial Day weekend occurs during the last weekend of May and gets folks ramped-up about BBQ's, fun activities, lounging and extra day's off from work or other regularly schuduled activities. People get a chance to unwind or gear up for whatever the weekend holds. It is a day of rememberance, a time to reflect on past lives, the soldiers and many others who have come and gone so often too soon.

May is a good feeling month. Hopefully May accompanies you with joy and the anticipation of even better days to come.

THANKS GIVING

Hope you are healthy, happy and have much to be thankful for. 
Hope you are having a good week and find what you seek, like the essential elements required for good living, compassion, mutual respect, love and peaceful exchanges with whomever you encounter. These elements are not found everywhere in everyone. It happens though, what we look for is generally what we find and what we listen out for is usually what we hear. How we treat people is also how we will be treated. It seems so simple, uncomplicated and yet seemingly unimportant to many. We offer our best and sometimes receive others' worst. 

We move forward respectfully, gratefully, for the goodness, the love and peace, freedom, family and friends who love and care for us.  May we cultivate and nurture the simple basics that feed our heart and soul and make us better people filled with appreciation.

Day's of Life and Death

 

Since we know, hope is a good thing, looking to the future with optimistic eyes. We hope things go well, we hope for good health and happiness, We hope for peaceful days that contain experiences to make life worth living and doable. 

We hope that when death is near, it will not overtake us into dark places that make us sick with sadness, rather stronger places in love, yes armed with resilient faith and hope, respect for life at our most vulnerable times and the most glorious days that make us glad to be alive. 

We hope for the best and the beautiful things that make us want to live life at all. Live like me mean it, from the goodness, perplexing, positively fun and fascinating to the simple elegance of a thought provoking conversation to a sweet smile from a stranger. To be or not to be generous with the bare basic best of ourselves is to share the most powerful weapon of massive construction and renewal with the world, love and compassion, for the closest to the furthest reaching in the entire world, it's what's for dinner! Peace and Love ♥ Paz y Amor, siempre

April ☼ May

With a warm embrace April waves goodbye to May, like two old friends with a long history and much mutual respect and affection. The seasons roll into the other sometimes quietly and sometimes as if in a constant state of transition. Gears shift, the cycle of life continues on cue in accordance with time and the rhythm of life. Another Spring is upon us and the light of day grows longer, the earth springs forward, it is new yet very familiar.

There is a brand new sense of hope, anticipation for good things to come, new possibilities, the end for some and the beginning for others.

Here's to days filled with peace and goodness, fresh perspective and health of mind, body and soul.

The streets of Rio Rancho are bit busier during the transition of Summer, as that precarious time of year rolls in with radio, TV, newspaper and other advertisements indicating the winding down of a perfectly good summer. A sense of urgency is created as high spirited, shiny, colorful ads sing the praises of outfitting yourself with brand new goods, fresh stuff, essentials in the way of school supplies, clothes, transportation and food.
Families figure out ways to get the kids to school, is the school bus an option or can someone drop them off and pick them up? High school age students and adults enroll in classes in an effort to propel themselves further along in their chosen fields of interest. From books and schedules to aspiring athletes trying-out for their respective sport to musicians and singers auditioning for the band or choir, school pictures and fund raisers, theatre goings-on, concert performances, Homecoming festivities and various competitions; all components set-up to compliment scholastic achievements as students and families engage in the whole eduacational experience.

    School seems to define us when we are in the middle of it, everything evolves around it. It is  necessary to our understanding of the world and our bridge of hope for a good life.  With school comes more options, opportunities and possibilities to propel ourselves into the next level. The quality of life is enhanced with education and learning, positive growth and healthy physical, mental and intellectual development takes place. The education process can be simple at once fantastic and challenging, always with the potential to change lives for the better, far into the future.

Miracles

The first day of November arrives right on time, not a moment too soon as the new month begins, opportunities beacon, fresh beginnings await, possibilities abound and miracles wait for the perfect moments to occur. Landmark days take place, births, deaths, sickness and health require attention and tending to.  The second to the last month of the year seems to hold a certain mystery, and wonder stirs in the cool, clean air. 
People get on with their lives, living as always, one day at a time hoping each day is better than the day before, hoping to stay healthy and happy or continually striving to get there. As seasons change, challenges emerge to remind us of the realities of life, of what was, what might be and hope the future unfolds peacefully, that life's lessons are gentle, kind and encouraging and that burdens are lifted, do not linger and move out much quicker than the days you wish... would last forever.

October

Cool mornings, warm afternoons, restless nights, bright lingering large and lovelier than usual- moon, baseball, pumpkin patches, change, travel, work, rest, unrest, regroup and connect. How can OCTOBER be so full of surprises, the multi-colored, multi-faceted palette of life laid bear for all to take part in. Every drop of life, every disappointing, sorrowful, serendipitous, joyful, encouraging exhilarating bit of it... makes for a big part of what was, what is and all the possibilities of things to come. As the season's change one hopes to move peacefully along, moving forward better for the wear and tear.

We hope your Sunday has been sunny, healthy  and happy. The evening from this corner of the world has been satisfying, soft and sweet. Dusk was melancholy as the setting sun waved it's daily goodbye's. ☼ Yes, we hope you have found contentment some time today, that the sun wrapped it's warmth around you and gave you good light. ☼ Monday gently taps on Sunday nights sleepy shoulders, eager to bring in a new day, with a majestic wave, robed in the distance with it's fire and might, restless and ready, beaming with it's new light and first rays of the dawn
