I am grateful for the help I have had in finding the way back to knowing about kindness, and good hearted-ness.
Could my mind have calmed down? Could I have found a bit of peace? I think it's ok to be here....in this body, life, house. Settled. For a moment. Surrounding self with other selves who are kind, eccentric, wowed by life and the nuggets of love that are really everywhere if you can see them. For now, I have a little bit of knowing about not having to try so hard. I followed my heart here. My heart is here...not in another state or country or life. It's here. I have to be with that heart here and I will find the life I must make the most of.

Children (finding our edges together, writing to them-that will be the journal time this year)
Dad (80th birthday, things to say, thanks to give, more time)
Mom (more visits, more quiet time there)
Eddie (letting it unfold, being a harbor)
Karrie (quiet time in mornings, timed news/online reading, time for reading, stretching/yoga, dog walking, music playing!!!, job as job with objectives and goals vs. my personal identity, exercise routine everyday, weight watchers again, only things I love in this house)
WELCOME 2009 - BRING IT ON! 50 YEARS!!!!!!

Turning the page for hope.....choosing the path with risk yet holding the promise of feeling alive rather than mummified.....feeling the hearthfire in the communion with others who seek good work and do it with love. This I glimpsed in 2008 and seek more of in 2009.
with love always,
Claire
