Hello People and welcome back. And an especially warm hug to new viewers:)
It's such a special relationship - blogger/s/reader/s. Intimate yet distant, anonymous sometimes. An evolving and deepening friendship at other times. In fact it's true to say that I feel closer to one or two of my bloggymates than I do to 'real' people! And I have to admit, I'm a better person for the knowing of them.
Have that experience yourself? Anyone?
I'm very thankful for this situation. I hope I give as much as I receive, but really, what relationship is truly reciprocally balanced equally? I don't know. But I am glad.
I love that I get to meet people in all places, almost (hey Lori, you're right, never Africa). And share their insights into the profound and the mundane. I've discovered through this process a little more about myself than about them. And in the words of Esther (Abraham) 'there is great love here for you'.
Ok. So the season is upon us. Things are a bit different this year, so I've a lot to plan and do.
Take a peak - stuff for small people (my favourite type)
I have reserved some energy for the aftermath the 'what-to-do-in-January' to have something to look forward to. And to help me 'live my best life'. I've joined a local meet-up group....for positivity and possibilities, I'm taking the yoga challenge, joining in with the winter feast for the soul forty-day meditation and a change camp+plus day workshop on developing compassionate self-acceptance. And all of that just gets me to February. A whole lot of year left to fill up after that!
So how about you? any plans for 2012? focusing on....?
I'll leave you with a picture of me hanging out with one of my Zen friends taken earlier this year over on Magical Meadows!
(Hey Mary, have you visited yet? Close to Durham and a great place for wildflowers!)
Stay safe and happy everyone, until next time.
Love and hugs

P.s. yes I know it looks like there's a scarycrow growing out of my head!
edited to explain the pictures of children are on knitting patterns and not my small people,
Nana Pam keeps those to herself!

I love that photo of you!!! That's really charming. I wholeheartedly agree with you about the blogger/reader relationship, Y'all are very real to me, certainly.
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me to come up with a project of improvement to challenge me next year. I'll look up the ones you linked....
Now hey! you're my inspiration to start with! so here we go - reciprocal besting lol:)
ReplyDeleteHi there - the hand knit lovelies are, well, lovely. ~grins~ I made only one knit object for a gift this year because I really wanted to relax through my days. It feels so good!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was wondering if a friend of mine sent you a message recently? She was hiking near you in the last week or so and said she might send you a message for hints and ideas for beautiful places. I hope she did.
Hi Pam, I know that feeling of being a blog follower. I'm hoping that someone, somewhere will enjoy reading mine too! I certainly enjoy writing it. I am writing a post about my new twirly scarf and have given you a mention and a link. Only right really as you 'talked' me into starting it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas and good luck with the yoga challenge.
