It's vacation time for me...
Jmo, but sometimes we need to pull into a rest stop when we grow weary of walking/strolling/skipping/crawling along our path of healing.
Earlier this morning I was stung by the words of someone, someone I don't really know. There was no sliver lining, there was an ah-ha! realization that I need some playtime. If the words from someone I know only by user id sting me, then it's time for me to empty the vessel and start fresh.
Empty the vessel is a focused effort to clear the mind, then refill it with things of beauty and strength. Part of the NA spiritual path I follow...this is something I've neglected the past several weeks.
Aboriginal walk-about is a form of therapy unequaled in an office setting.

This morning I read the weekly newsletter from Terry Hershey, inspirational speaker for lack of a better description. To me he is a man of honesty, admitting his humanness; tiredness, distraction, frustration to name a few.
He accepts these feelings, doesn't use his bat, but does return to his roots for comfort.
The link in the newsletter led me to two YouTube videos, and I'd like to share them.

This first one I watched on a whim...no coincidence, I believe. It was what I needed...smiling then laughing then crying then smiling again...reminding me that I don't have to wait for boisterous belly laughs, smiles and giggles have great valuable.

It's silly but...an invitation to dance brought together many people.



The newsletter for Aug 17 is not on his website yet, but it's a good read.
This second one was a link in the newsletter, and speaks for itself.



Mud pie making, chasing the golden butterfly to get a better look, reading a new book, shaving my legs , doing my picture collage...
Slow down and embrace the sacred present...Terry Hershey

In Peace
