Seek not so much to be loved as to love...St.Francis

Here I am at the wheel of Solitude (actually driving!) with straps down to get some sun on the white streaks over my shoulders.  And here's one of Jim and Solitude at Beaufort Marina.  In this photo you can see the "catbird" seats on the back where I ride much of the time.  What fun it is! ...........I'm back at the Pond enjoying remembering and the fact that I have another whole week to JUST BE right here before I begin yoga classes again.  This morning I spent an hour at the labyrinth - putting out "Over and Out' to the fire ant mounds - but mostly just contemplating life.  What came to me this morning?  "Seek not so much to be loved as to love."  I spent an hour  walking the labyrinth in and out several times - not the same as walking the paths at HH or along the waterfront at Beaufort, but perhaps more effective meditation/contemplation.  For sure the "love" message is powerful and when I've used it as a guiding mantra, life is better......No milk for my cereal - ate cold organic oats with my usual cinnamon, walnuts, flax seed meal, and raisins - and apple juice!  It worked - better than milk........New blog for you to enjoy:  http://www.jaquiehappinessessays.blogspot.com/.  I plan to get out one each week.  Pray for me to make that happen.  A second blog (Jim and I were hard at work) is http://www.yogatorium.blogspot.com/.  Try that one too.  My intention is to put most info you need on weekly but will at least for the time being keep sending out notices via group emails.  WOW - ENOUGH for today.
