My dreams this week have focused on 2 new experiences I am about to embark upon, but in my dreams the experiences do not go to plan. What that is telling me I am not so sure as I do not feel worried about them while awake.

Forgiveness from my sister, who I teased terribly when we were growing up. We fought so much and my mum feared we would end up like her and her sister who did not speak for many years. However, my sister forgave me and we grew so close, and then i lost her again in her death. But from her death my mum and her sister reconnected and that would have made my sister so very happy. And i have not really lost her as she is with me in all that i do and in her three beautiful girls.

The words of another.

Life is an opportunity not to be taken for granted. It is the connection of heart, mind and soul with others. Life is hard, life is fun, life is an experience. The meaning of it is a mystery we may never solve.

Natures new beginnings, there was a baby woodpecker feeding on one of our bird feeders, it was beautiful.

Such moments remind me that there is always good in the world no matter how dark it may seem at times.

Yes I can easily after this weekend. New place, new people and new life is proving very positive. Negative things are still going on for me but the positives had been overwhelming this weekend, and I feel happier than I have in a long time.

A smile or a simple good morning/afternoon when passing by.

Everyday, even when the light is dim, it makes it shine brighter.

By having faith and trust that things will be OK, even when there is despair on the horizon. Live for the adventure that is present at the time and embrace it with an open heart and gratefulness.

It creates links and bonds between people and the universe, making us all a little stronger for all.

I believe we learn all the time, from the world, other people in it, events that occur. We never stop learning and adapting and evolving. But I also believe we need to be open to the learning for it to have an effect on us. Open our minds and hearts to what is being taught and not taking things for granted or going through life closed off to experiences.

The gifts of so many memories from so many people.
