Old and new ... what happens when you weed?

The 'ole days and nights of the moon were good for weeding through the old (files, bags and boxes under the vardo) and resting from the busy lives that these old dears call our own. I found an old article I wrote in 2004 among the hundreds of old files that needed tending. You know how old files need to be tended? Keep/No-keep. Save/Delete. Wait. Nap. Tea-time.

Here's one of the files I decided not to delete, at least not yet. Click here to go to "Makua O'o" for a bit called A Name of Her Own.

DREAM COMING TRUE WEEK 20: Old and New

The ancient yellow climbing rose has started to sprout new growth. Last year's rose hips still hang in there too. With tomorrow's Spring crossroads coming up it was good to look appreciatively at how the new comes through, old hips or not.

Today I come to the keyboard and keep the dream, of a transformative life, alive with appreciation for these 10 people and things:

1. I appreciate new growth.

2. I appreciate my old hips.

3. I appreciate my old friends.

4. I appreciate our new home in the making.

5. I appreciate balance when it comes.

6. I appreciate a new recipe that works!

7. I appreciate surrender.

8. I appreciate a good laugh.

9. I appreciate our digital camera.

10. I appreciate Pete.

I appreciate these things today. Hope grows. Innovation comes when I make room for it by taking time to be calm in the busy-ness.

Hurrah for the day of balance ... Spring Equinox! Mokihana
