A Granddaughter can change our Perspective!

I have to confess. I'm getting a little long winded on Facebook and perhaps it isn't the right place to post thoughts other than 'status updates.' A lot of factors may be causing me to think a little deeper about 'things,' but, waiting for the birth of a Granddaughter, Cassidy Rayne, due on March 9th, has got to be near the top of the list.

So, I'm intending a slight shift in the focus of my notes here. Up to now, this blog has been a kind of Commonplace Book where I collect the images, words and ideas that, for some reason, feel 'congruent' at the moment. I'm intending to shift the focus slightly to more clearly make this a sort of Values Will. No, except for the irregular heart rhythm that is well managed, now, I'm in good health. But, I do want to state what I've come to value and why they are important to me.

So, I hope you will stay tuned and take time to leave a word or two of your thoughts. One value that I'm learning is important, is to always be open to new perspectives. As Dirty Harry once said to a bad guy, "A Man's got to know his limitations". I may need you to remind me to 'lighten up.'

Awakening to a New Beginning ...

Every day life offers us opportunities to awaken from our sleep of unconscious living. But, that awakening doesn't have to be illness or some tragedy. It can be a 'happy' awakening. Like this!

My son and daughter-in-law announced that they will be having a new Grandchild for me, somewhere around March 12. I'm so excited. They have been trying for 5 years and all their patience and 'hard work' paid off.

So for me, a new reason to stay as fit as I can be in order to play with my Grandchild. A new reason to find ways to make sure our society and this planet is a fit place for growing up. And if this space hasn't been so in the past, it could be a space to share my 'Values Will.' A place where I can share the values that I find important for my kids and Grandkids to see.

Nothing like being hit by a 2 x 4 to awakened! But O so sweet!
