You mentioned in a post awhile ago, that all you want to do is be happy. Live, eat, and just be. <br /><br />It has taken me many long years to finally say these words to myself and accept them! Fully. <br /><br />Just be Pen... just be. <br /><br />Good to read your words once again ... what a blessing you are. <br /><br />maria marihttp://livingoldfashionedways.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-37038311662658049212014-02-10T20:19:45.986+00:002014-02-10T20:19:45.986+00:00Hello my friend :0) Waving! xHello my friend :0) Waving! xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-51836887741489945272014-02-10T16:46:46.380+00:002014-02-10T16:46:46.380+00:00(Catching up after ice-storm induced power-less-ne...(Catching up after ice-storm induced power-less-ness.) <br /><br />Pen, I love that you are as transparent as you are.

There is one more PCC to go before that. After the APCM I am standing down. TONIGHT (hooray!) I am meeting with the lady who is to take over from me as PCC secretary, and I am hoping we will have enough volunteers for the PCC that I can come right off the council, as well as standing down as secretary.

First, I am so grateful you do 'put yourself out' here with your very private thoughts. That is what I find so helpful and valuable.<br /><br />I'm fascinated that as your physical health has improved so has your spiritual/emotional outlook and how this affects how you want to live.<br /><br />And yet your previous state is not invalid, you just express it differently, use it differently in a better state of health.<br /><br />Since I retired and had more choice about how I lived my life I have found that while my choices might seem selfish or self indulgent to others; if I try to do more active things (good works, organisations, committees, meetings, whatever) it all goes pear shaped very quickly.<br /><br />I do not know what God's will is for me, it may just be psychology or psychiatry; all I know is that life goes easier for me and those around me if I behave like a lily of the field, neither toiling nor spinning. Which is in accordance with my deepest desire and always has been, except I repressed it for most of my life.<br /><br />So now I follow the flow of the Tao and am grateful the wonderful nature of these final years.<br /><br />This next is a bit cheeky, but I am dying to know and I thought about it recently after one of your posts, and you mention it in this one - why are you still doing the Church minutes? It seems like the antithesis of everything you are trying to make of your life? <br /><br />May your good health continue<br /><br />DaisyAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680034482022415405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-28854637111777821882014-02-07T12:33:23.554+00:002014-02-07T12:33:23.554+00:00:0D

I'm thinking of how a person, inconsciously I think, behaves in one way at home with his/her 'stuff' all around, another way out in the public streets, and still another way at <br />work surrounded by the material goods and various personalities in that particular environment. <br />Perhaps, and I'm feeling my way as I go here, perhaps what it means to be whole is to get to where we are just the same person no matter where we are and no matter what material things we do or don't have around us.<br /> And I wonder if I shall ever be truly whole like that. <br /> Of course I wouldn't want to be wholly rotten. I'd prefer to be someone who's easy and nice even in situations where it doesn't matter whether I'm nice or not. <br /> I am so glad pen that you're getting a bit of perkiness back.<br /> I've figured out long ago that our bodies are positively built to heal themselves if we can figure out what we're doing to muck them up and then stop doing it and get out of the way to make room for the healing. But I know from a good deal of up and down experience that figuring out and Doing are two very different things.<br /> I feel at the moment like you're a good chapter or so ahead of me on this, which is much more heloful and encouraging than someone who is so far far ahead they're nearly out of sight.<br /><br />Toddling off now to watch The Beautiful Truth.Rapunzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381797135241461102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-83442411061493791572014-02-07T00:14:59.017+00:002014-02-07T00:14:59.017+00:00This post makes me happy for so many reasons, most...This post makes me happy for so many reasons, mostly because I hear happiness in YOU and I like that.
