Thomas and I was squabbling over my mothers attention . Neither one of us have spent much time on our instruments, well I’ll speak for myself however this was a prime example of taking what you have and enjoying the moment to its max . I just noticed for myself at the moment there was nothing as important as just seeing my mother appreciating the visit from the both of us . Then later on another sibling arrived . Weeks ago I made a statement about Family of choice , well this is the family I was born in , not favoring one over the other . I’m not into the place of tribalism , I just speak from my heart from moment to moment . Embracing what is before me is something I am pretty good at . I could not have planned this way of living neither can I demonstrate how I got here . This may be confusing , however , I guess , in my life , I just let go of my ideas and short comings to embrace all that is before me . It seems there is something I have inside of me that love to search for that spectacular moment that is always in front of me and that is the gift of community . I became by my experiences not by chance . This was a great Thanksgiving and the energy I received visiting with my cousins as well as my mother was off the charts . So I had a chance to make this Thanksgiving my own without inflicting or contaminating it with my own limits . With the help of my cousins and siblings I had a chance to redefine family as I often do within my own head . This whole ordeal is about finding myself in this amazing experience called life . Now I see whatever dark cloud or bright light I find in my life comes from how I direct my thoughts . I received soo many smiles today all I could do when I drove away is say Ahhhh Gratitude at its MAX !!!!! No time for television. I want to Thank my cousin Sherry and her husband John for hosting this great Thanksgiving Dinner . This takes me back to a post I made years ago my family I was born in prepared me for my family of choice and the family of choice prepared me how to love my family I was born in deeply ! Right now I’m loving Me .
I want to Thank You 🙏🏾 for being there in more ways than one . In my mind this is true power ,not Money , possessions or controlling everything I come in contact with , just knowing ,to attain this way of living ,it don’t restrict me to this limited way of existing that is unconsciously limiting my journey to what I can only imagine instead allowing me to prepare to all the possibilities of what’s to come . Embracing my fears and sending them into the universe ….. At 67 years of age I feel very much alive !!!! I would like to say my family is not limited by identities (which can make a world very small) just having the ability to care and receive what we all have to offer is where my allegiance lay .
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
