APPRECIATE LIFE – WonderFull Living News…

Appreciating life is all about appreciating life… As there has been little work here in Coral Cove we are going back on the road again.  It’s been quite hectic as many changes in my life are aligning all at once.  Though challenging, it’s been an interesting series of experiences and I’m learning a lot as I learn more and more how to flow. So to take the pressure of writing this month’s topic I wrote a poem instead about appreciating life – the good and the not-so-good… Hope you enjoy it – Love Annemarie 🙂

Since life has been somewhat up in the air,
and this late May article I had yet to share.
I gave up on guilt and wrote poetry instead
to shake up my thoughts and clear up my head 🙂

I’m aware that my time is slim right now,
and I can only do what my body alllows.
So rather than a newsletter in the usual form,
I settled for a poem as I come through the ‘storm’…

Had lots of practice in flexibility – of late,
as ’change’ began morphing to an incongruous state.
So to help me through some times of unsure
I used faith and courage to open some doors.

And as we now sit here by the blue ocean shore
breathing in fresh air as leaves fall to the floor.
To our pleasant surprise as we look out to sea,
dolphins at play – joyful and free…

I sit and reflect on the few months past
and the many changes that happened so fast.
That place we called home – for just a while
happy memories make me smile…

Wonderful connections – both new and old –
it’s time to move on now – a new story unfolds.
Keeping rhythm with life’s exquisite contrast
so not to spin out of control so fast…

No matter how much rain comes bucketing down
and blocks our only escape route out of town.
Or how other people’s behaviour can astound –
great moments can always be found.

Whether doing presentations and driving many k’s
or moving ‘home’ every few days…
Or packing and cleaning and preparing for garage sales
or cars breaking down and moving like snails.

From waiting in the dust on the side of the road,
where cars zoomed past and none of them slowed.
Or daylight now scarce – towing a caravan without light,
then… a random breath test with so many cops in sight!!

But fortune on our side for the cops barely blinked
so we quickly drive on – no time to think.
Remaining calm is our best form of defence
against irrational reaction and getting tense.

And though we are still driving up, down and back,
to finish the final clean up and pack.
Right now we’re just appreciating being where we are
before whirling back again to pick up my car.

Soaking up this precious moment in space,
energy in motion – a vibrational trace.
We observe as we learn – right here and right now,
releasing any stress of when, where and how?

A great reflection of the journey we’re taking
creating opportunities – one by one in the making.
As upward and onward we continue once more
with each new experience the higher we soar.

So lets not let life make us shrink away
no matter how challenging or difficult our day.
Lets get up each morning with a firm loving aim –
and give up on pointing that finger of blame.

Because you see it’s never ever too late
to free ourselves from all the world’s hate.
To appreciate ourselves and our own powerful roles
to achieve all we wish – our dreams and our goals…

To live in truth – leave no room for self deception
to fill ourselves inside out for healthy connection!
So my message to YOU that I wish to transmit –
Ensure that you and your life are a great fit!…

Balance busy with calm and doing with being
and imagine clearly what you want to be seeing.
To enjoy and appreciate each single new day
even when there’s a few obstacles in the way…

… So now as I sit in this moment of bliss,
where everything is perfect – nothing amiss.
Glad for this moment touched by autumn’s kiss –
the drama of life?…  Ahh – it is what it is!

CREATE LOTS OF HAPPY MOMENTS – JUST ONE AT A TIME – NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON!

BECAUSE LIFE IS OVER IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE 🙂
