Mazatlan… the wedding

bugglady — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 05:07:33 +0000

people… friends… long time relationships…commitment… there is a richness of having friends over many decades.

investing in people… loving hearts… loving relationships more than principle or busy-ness is a rewarding preciousness that is worth the time and grace it takes to experience it!

i was in the room when Isaak was born… i was at his high school graduation… and now i was privileged to witness his marriage in Mazatlan to such a beautiful woman and… dance with his mama – my friend of 27 years!

Busy Standing Still

Seems like an oxymoron. BUT I love to schedule ”do nothing” time. Waiting… quieting… doing nothing… is a time for inner growth for me. Of course, when I’m “forced” to wait or to stand still I then become antsy. BUT, when I am deliberately being still I absolutely *LOVE* it! BUT, I want to get to the place where when I am not able to control my time I will consciously choose to LET LIFE HAPPEN, to BE STILL in my inner soul, to EXPERIENCE THE NOW!

Faith

Lord, i believe in you. i believe in you with all my soul, heart, and mind. You have become so real to me throughout the last 10 years. thank you for loving me even when i’m not lovable. i love the realness and rawness you are showing me. i love that i can bask in your arms through every emotion, whether negative or positive. thank you that you made the universe and that you made me and that life is better when i don’t try to play God. i want my life to glorify you and i thank you for showing me that my life does glorify you when i am loving the life you gave me and giving that life and love away. You God, and only You are the epitome of unconditional love and acceptance.

A 1-Word Rhyme: Living

i want to start capturing my life… my moments on film – well okay – on digital technology. it gives my a feeling that life is good… no, life is great. it keeps creativity alive. it reminds me of the preciousness of the amount of time we have on this earth. My children; Ashley & Jon have *unknowningly* taught me that by becoming the best *life capturers* on this planet. You can view their works of art at www.buggphotographer.com and see for yourself just how much you want to save the moments.

The Soul of Feelings

Me at 50

Okay, so how does one articulate the soul of feelings? Words seem too shallow right now. Have you ever been so touched and blessed that you could only cry tears of joy? That’s how I feel right now. I purposefully used the phrase, *soul of feelings* because at this moment my feelings are running deep – like they have a soul of their own. I have waited 50 years to feel this way. No, I haven’t *arrived* – I won’t arrive till I’m walking in heaven, but I have experienced joy, love, preciousness, tenderness, happiness, contentedness, secure in myself, and accepted all at the same time. Now how do you put words to that to truly give it credit and be able to transend the soul of the feelings through writing?

I have the most amazing husband, adult children (all 6 of them), grandchildren, and genuine friends that anyone could want. The amount of love that was lavished upon me this week has been overwhelming.

There truly is something to be said about being vulnerable. I wished I would have learned that years ago – no, let me rephrase that – I’m glad I have learned that! My relationships with friends and even acquaintances have deepened since I’ve become more transparent and vulnerable on a consistent basis.

My prayer is that I will learn to experience the *soul* of my feelings and embrace them without dismissing them with the *busyness* of life!
