Banana pudding sounds lovely.

 





So, what has changed?

As I look back in my *memories* tab on FB I 

see that the answer is so much and not much

at all.

Let me explain:

People rarely change.

Situations, trends, ideas and status quo does.

I should not be surprised now when

actions in others is the same as it has always been.

I should also BE surprised that this Taurus-

notoriously stubborn HAS changed.

In huge ways.

My core beliefs have been solid since I was

a young adult yet I have allowed myself 

seasons of learning, of failing and of forgiving

myself. As I continue to grow I will always be

mindful that others (can) as well.

But many do not.

I can not control that, nor do I wish to.

Now when I experience a change in the flow nature

of relationships I employ the * Go with God* 

theory: as in go with the only one who 

will stand by you as you manage (or not) your own selves.

Most people have their limits.

My faith is secure in knowing that I am not alone

in times when I am moving in a healthier

direction away from the known.

I have never been a go with the crowd human being.






The trick to keeping a healthy focus is to

never take anything too personal .

People only reflect where they are.

So that in & of itself should be telling of anyone

who judges you or what you do.

My focus for the past 1 1/2 years has mostly been

on my own life and what I can honestly control.

Not yesterday, nor tomorrow....

just today.

It has been a breath of fresh air.

Today I will be planting some seeds in the raised beds

as well as getting the nursery area prepped for

new babies coming very soon.





No longer will I rush through meaningful moments like these.

This is what life is  all about.

For me, caring for loved ones, my animals and my home

with an attention to detail makes me finally feel

grounded and rooted.

My faith tells me to let go of the old ways.

No more living in tomorrow or yesterday's mistakes.


A huge part of this growth has to do with establishing

priorities that reflect my life now.




Call it slow living.

Call it purposeful.

Whatever it is, it is peaceful.

I am no longer trying so hard to be who I was.

I am enough here... just this way.

Ben @ FOLK

posted this recipe a while ago and just

reposted it again.

I will be making it this weekend.

 Quite easy and something more to do with bananas

than just making bread out of them.

I use  GF cookie similar to Nilla wafers.





It is homey and rustic.

Perfect for a week night treat or company.




Starting life again is a grand decision.

Some folks move far away.

Others start a new profession.

Still others edit who has access to them.

For me, it is a tending of a once overgrown garden

of a rich, full existence .

I do not regret anything really.

I am grateful for every day.

Every moment moved me to here.

A very good place to be.








Have a blessed day my friends.

How can I pray for you?

Drop me a message or email me.

xoxo
