Making Amends
Dear Inner Self;
I’m writing you in a sincere effort to make amends. I’m sorry for all the hell I’ve put you through. I kept you from getting the help, guidance, attention you’ve needed. I have made impossible demands on you, then punished you when you couldn’t live up to those unrealistic expectations. Read the rest of this entry »
Growing in Gratitude

Looking at my gratitude list today, I recognize how much it has grown, as I’ve grown with it.
SURRENDER!
Posted by rIa on Tuesday, 26 May, 2009 @ 12:54 pm
When we are down, healthwise, financially, family burdens, sorrows, mourning.. etc. etc., we often find ourself with a Constant Prayer on Our lips and in our hearts.
“Oh God if….” Oh God please….”
Always religious, in constant prayers, and many cannot understand God’s apparent failure to intervene in our misfortunes, or to ignore our most heartfelt pleas.
Finally, Overwhelmed by despair, one gives up prayer completely. Read the rest of this entry »

Peacefulness comes within.
Strength replaces fear.
The Calm soothes my body.
Receiving Gifts
Posted by rIa on Monday, 18 May, 2009 @ 1:06 pm
In our quest for serenity and growth, we have received many gifts, But these gifts did not come cheap. They where bought at the price of tears, frustrations, stuggle, and pain.
Higher Power

After a crisis, when life has returned to normal ( if there’s such a thing ), I can easily fall back into my old habits. I can relapse into living without keeping conscious contact with my Higer Power. Seems that we only ’seek’ it when we are in dispair/conflict… or in sorrow.
On Happiness…
Posted by rIa on Saturday, 16 May, 2009 @ 3:09 pm
Ummm… TOTAL HAPPINESS???
For a Fact I KNOW that we can obtain ‘contentment” , and/or be in ‘our bliss’… but totally happy, on this realm?
I think not. Would be Nice, though.

Anger – just “is”…
Posted by rIa on Thursday, 14 May, 2009 @ 2:05 pm
I have always tried to stay away (hard to do) from anger… One becomes afraid to be “it” or near it, less espress it, or even accept it’s pressence in my own heart.
Wisdom & Knowing the Difference
Posted by rIa on Tuesday, 12 May, 2009 @ 11:15 am
In the ‘Serenity Prayer’ used by many organizations, churches, support groups, etc. etc., we ask for inner peace, for courage to do things that may (seem to) be difficult, or contrary to our own wills, and for discernment — the wisdom to know the difference.
Having a ‘Life” & Attitude
Posted by rIa on Monday, 11 May, 2009 @ 2:58 pm
When a very ill person is monitored by an electronic device, the lines on the screen tell us he/she’s alive. They dart up and down carrying the message… “Yes this heart still beats”.
The ups and downs in our daily existance also tells us we are vital, performing individuals. We take risks, we venture out, we give and recieve love, we sometimes despair, and other times, we know great joy.
Up To My Ears In Crystals!?
Posted by rIa on Monday, 20 April, 2009 @ 1:25 pm
Yep.. Up To My Ears InDeed!!!
I had to laugh when they told me (after 4 neurologists in 10 years) that my severe Never-Ending VERTIGO is caused by “Crystals” in the most inner part of the ear- (behind inner ear stones can form)
After awhile …

After awhile…
You learn the subtle differences between holding a hand and charming a soul.
You learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security.
You begin to learn that kisses aren’t promises.
A lighter load

A lighter load
Life is but a journey, a long trip through rugged terrain and deep dark forests, across raging rivers and high mountains. But, at the end of every trip you know that you will find shelter and hope for your next adventure to be a more “gentle” one.
When Crying IS needed….

When Crying IS needed….
How many of us find ourselves crying more than Usual?
- Heck- I cry ALMOST everyday!
I cry softly when it’s a ‘passing memory”- (mostly out of fond loving memories) – and I cry HARD when it is a Painful (heartwise) situation. I know it sounds sad, but is is more sad not to be able to embrace the “emotion”… or What “we fear/loose/miss”(etc) -
A Pity Party!

Pity Party
We all have days when the bad things seem to outweigh the good ones and we begin to think that life isn’t fair. You get stuck in traffic, which makes you late for an important meeting, and then your car gets towed. You might ask yourself, “Why me?”
