Hello Diary,

Thought I would take a break from preparing for life’s challenges, briefly stop the world and get off and share some thoughts… got my flu vaccination and having the virus vaccination earlier this year, I should be good…. it has been a busy few days preparing for any changes that Fate may put in my path… 🙂

A peaceful morning, watching the sun arise
Thoughts abound, while sipping on a spot of tea,
While taking in Nature’s outdoor portrait
Contemplating, on what Fate may have instore for me.

Change is slowly coming, it whispers in the winds
The door is slowly closing on past history,
With a  new awakening with the mind and spirit
But the future is still shrouded in mystery.

With the freedom of being different, in many ways
No social shackles do this mortal wear,
Do welcome change with open mind and spirit
No fear, no worry or dread do I bear.

Does change stop at mortal death, one wonders
Or does it go on forever and ever,
Will I ask the same at another time and place
Somewhere past the 12th of Never?

Will thought and spirit continue
When, as in all things, my mortal time comes to an end,
Or does all things cease to be, when
To the grave, the mortal body Fate does send.

Alas, but must deal with the present
So now will store thoughts and musings yet to be told,
For it’s down the path least traveled I do venture
To search and hopefully find….what life, and Fate, may behold.

There are changes presently happening with the weather and seasons….I ventured out one morning first of the week and saw that the Spirit of Winter had left a calling card as there were frost on the roof… 🙂

Which also means that for many, it is time to go back to school in some manner… and I will be going to school also, to learn Spanish… it gives me something to do and will help me better understand others think and live in the  universe….. at this moment I know just enough Spanish to get me into trouble…  🙂

 

This is my school room, computer, notes and paper at the ready… 🙂

I then open course that is known as The Spanish Blog… the teachers name is Laura… 🙂

I sit down with a cuppa tea and ready to learn more about a part of this ole third rock from the sun…. 🙂

And when I learn more and become knowledgeable of the Spanish language, I shall be at the ready… 🙂

Until then, it is back to school, right Miss Andrews??.. 🙂

And I shall close for now because not only is it time to go to school, but there are also adventures waiting, right Miss Milligan?.. 🙂

Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better 
to paint a picture, or write a letter, 
bake a cake, or plant a seed. 
Ponder the difference between want and need. 

Dust if you must, but there is not much time, 
with rivers to swim and mountains to climb!
Music to hear, and books to read, 
friends to cherish and life to lead. 

Dust if you must, but the world's out there 
with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, 
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain, 
this day will not come round again. 

Dust if you must, but bear in mind, 
old age will come and it's not kind. 
And when you go, and go you must, 
you, yourself, will make more dust! 
             (Rose Milligan)

But I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise….  🙂

Until we meet again… 🙂

May your spirit only know peace
May your heart only know love
May all your dreams come true
May your life’s journey be filled with happiness
And life is all that you wish for it to be….
                       (Larry “Dutch” Woller)

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” (Barack Obama ) on the path least traveled….

Hope is a feather floating in a bright blue sky
Hope is that sparkle that shines in your eyes.
Hope is a butterfly fluttering on the wind
Hope is good times spent with family and friends.

Hope is a newborn baby’s cry
Hope is a Mother’s lullaby.
Hope is the rainbow after a rain
Hope is the harvest of golden grain.

Hope is the light that keeps darkness at bay
Hope is the breeze on a hot summer day.
Hope is ever present and free of cost
Hope is the last thing ever lost.

Hope is staying positive when the going gets tough
Hope is seeking help when you feel you’ve had enough.
Hope is recovery from simmering sorrow
Hope is believing in a brighter tomorrow.
                    (Linda Hotger)

Hello Diary,

Many people in today’s world are waiting for one being to change the world, make it a better place… but as Mr. Obama has said, WE are the change, we are the answer we are looking for…. one does not need to be rich and famous, does not need to be superman to be a hero… one just has to care and help make a difference no matter how small… and by doing so  give someone hope and the possibility that they can follow their dreams….  🙂

I am not rich or famous, I am not superman.. I did not actively run in the 5K run for a number of reasons, but I did support it with a few dollars and some minutes of my time and working with others, we were able to give hope to children that they may follow their dreams…. 🙂

 

In history’s past, on the path, I had a dream
Of a world in harmony it did seem,
Accepting one as to who they believe and are
One’s life’s choices no one did bar.

Free to climb a mountain, to touch a star
Free to search the universe, where answers are,
Free to venture through life, with open mind
Another’s belief, it did not blind.

Free to boldly walk the lands, both far and near
To lives one’s life without suffering or fear,
Not to be accepted by belief, gender or race, you see
But by the love, understanding and knowledge of a spirit born free.

Children could follow their own dream, you see
Not to be denied by another’s ideology,
To follow the destiny of their own choice
Not to be hindered by another’s voice.

I still have that dream, you know
A dream that began a long time ago,
A dream without end, each and every day
Until the four winds, they all blow away.
        (Larry “Dutch” Woller)

“Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with.”  (Brodi Ashton) so, Yes, you can be a hero too, but only if you want to….  🙂

 

Well, I had better close for now… more adventures and dreams are a calling… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…  🙂

Hope you are able to follow your dreams and until we meet again..  🙂

May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your spirit only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.
     (Larry “Dutch” Woller)

“Woke up on the green side of the grass with a dream in my pocket, it is going to be a good day on the path least traveled” (Larry “Dutch” Woller) …

Hello Diary,

Yes, every day I wake up on the green side of the grass is a good day, a day filled with adventures and challenges as I venture down life’s path, a free spirit… a day to live, enjoy and cherish for it will never return and will become a memory to store in my heart for when I grow too old to dream… 🙂

And with a heart full of dreams, it is down the path I shall go…  🙂

 

 

It is down the path least traveled I shall go
To a rainbow filled horizon I  venture,
To seek, to learn, know peace, to enjoy life
A path filled with wonderful adventure.

A place where one is accepted as who they are
A spirit kindled to life, when mortal born,
A being coming from the depths within
And not subject to ridicule and scorn.

A place where I know freedom of thought and being
I am what I am, don’t you see,
Neither this one, neither that one, but all the above
In a mortal world, a free spirit, that’s me.

I do not travel the path alone, you see
There are memories and spirits to behold,
Those that share... the joy and sadness
As I gather more memories, down that least traveled road.

So how long will my journey be, one would ask
Will I see the end of the path...ever?
The answer, I believe, lies on the horizon
Somewhere past... the 12th of Never….

So I shall bring my ramblings to an end
For there is one fact that I do know,
To reach the horizon, the 12th of Never
It’s down the path least traveled I must go!
      ( Larry “Dutch” Woller )

And at the end of the path my journey will come to an end and I will find my answers, my destiny and………..home… 🙂

I shall close for now for the path is calling, excitement is in the air knowing a adventure is just a heartbeat away.. But I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…. 🙂

Until we meet again….  🙂

May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your heart only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.
     (Larry “Dutch” Woller)

“Far away, there in the sunshine, are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow them.” (Louisa May Alcott) on the path least traveled…

Who am I, one wonders
Whether it is race, gender or ideology,
As I venture down life’s path
As a spirit that is born free..

Wondering about being different
Reminds me of words from a song,
Where do I fit in, one would ask
One wonders, where do I belong.

Does the image without
Determine who I am to be,
Even though the spirit within
May be different, be me.

Do I follow my heart’s dream
When heart and mind disagree,
Or do I listen to the mind
While dealing with reality.

Those questions and more
Life’s puzzle to unravel,
To find answers I am seeking
Down the path I must travel.

So I shall  continue down the path least traveled
To seek that rainbow, perhaps around the next bend,
Once found, I’ll have my answers
And that will be the beginning, not the end.
    (Larry “Dutch” Woller)

Hello Diary,

Stopping the world briefly… thought I would share a few thoughts… though the weather has been much like summer, but have been preparing for change, at least in the house…  🙂

 

 

Putting in an extra effort this week, then plan on a relaxing weekend with a spot of Earl Gray, perhaps some meditation and contemplate  change that lies on the horizon…  🙂

 

 

A peaceful  morning, watching the sun arise
Thoughts abound, while sipping on a spot of tea,
While taking in Nature’s outdoor portrait
Contemplating, on what Fate may have instore for me.

Do welcome change with open mind and spirit
No fear, no worry or dread do I bear.

Or does it go on forever and ever,
Will I ask the same at another time and place
Somewhere past the 12th of Never?

Or does all things cease to be, when
To the grave, the mortal body Fate does send.

            ( Larry “Dutch” Woller )

Well, I had better close for now… laundry has finished and the sweeper is forlornly standing in the corner waiting...not to mention dreams to follow…. Busy, busy, busy…  but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…. 🙂

Until we meet again…

May flowers always line your path 
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.
                         (Irish Saying)
