“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” (Mother Teresa) on the path least traveled…

Diary of the journey on the path least traveled..just letting the heart do the talking while the fingers do the walking while being different, being me… 🙂 Hello Diary, It is a cold, windy, rainy (may see some snow later) day, a good day to relax with a cup of Earl Gray and browse the book of memories and contemplate the tomorrows… “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. (Author Unknown).. 🙂 Spent the day yesterday preparing for today, did not forget my backyard friends, no creature turned away… 🙂

And did not forget others as I contemplated my continuing support ( time I can spare, funding that I can afford  and the use of technology) for folks like the World Community Grid and the American Institute for Cancer as they deal with diseases world over…and there is the National Weather Service and the Met Office  (United Kingdom) as they deal with weather and climate…and locally the foodbank and organizations to help children like the Cunningham Children’s Home…..just to name a few… 🙂

 

 

And I continue to support a school out west for children of North American Native Heritage (their ancestors where here when we were immigrants, legal or otherwise.. 🙂 ).. I received a nice letter from one of the children, she wishes to be a veterinarian… 🙂

She is brave and smart and I do believe her wish will come true, right Pinocchio.. 🙂

What I do (and have done) is a path of happiness I chose, with few regrets, and often my efforts have led me down the path least traveled as I go it alone because it makes me different..  🙂

And why do I wish to be different, you may ask,
The freedom to choose, to explore, to learn a lot,
Dictated to by a prophet chained to a myth…. NOT
Maybe so everyone can shout and point at me,
And say, “Hey, he’s different”, don’t you see.

My mind is clear and open, gathering knowledge every day
My spirit is young, adventuresome and floating free,
Not confined by those social chains, no box, no mold for me
I am what I am, I am me, what I wish to be,
Perhaps that makes me different, don’t you see.

My course is set, my ship, the Spirit, is loaded, my destiny awaits
So it t is down the path least traveled I must  go
To a mysterious rainbow filled horizon I  do venture,
To seek, to learn, know peace and  happiness,
A love paved path filled with wonderful adventure.

Now  my heart’s compass is pointed to the horizon
Sails set full, safe harbor fading in the distance, a faint glow to eye it seems
And with a pocket full of memories, on the horizon are my dreams
On down the path least traveled I will venture, with spirit free
Why the path least traveled?..well, I’m different, don’t  you  see.

“Confidence is knowing who you are and not changing it a bit because of someone’s version of reality is not your reality.” (Shannon L. Alder) and I am able to follow my dream because I did it my way… 🙂

Well, I had better end for now, close the book of memories, leave tomorrow for another time as life is calling (along with the laundry)..but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…  🙂

Hope your path is paved with happiness, life is all you wish for it to be 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 heart only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.
     (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
