hi guys,
It's good to see that everyone is coming back I guess that includes myself but boy we all to have had our own trials in one way or another. As I said before I believe that that's 1221 2012 as it do more with personal events as seem to be the case for many of us.
Elfina, it is sure good to hear from you and glad that you're feeling better. I know you will enjoy your family. And Scooter will be Scooter for sure. Hope you guys enjoy your new Dr. and all goes well. TAKE CARE{{{HUGS}}}
Robynne, so good to hear from you. Burnout can be a rough thing and I'm glad you are able to have the time off to heal; a think and maybe artists in this little Dr. you sent me back to you. I look at it many times and realize how lucky I am to have friends such as you. Enjoy the ocean for me will you please, I sure do miss being able to get city ocean. Although where I now live in New Mexico was an ancient seabed so I let my Pisces imagination run wild. Boy oh boy, thank God for the wonderful Pisces imagination. You continue to heal; work will always be there when it wanted and needed selling just enjoy your time now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dear FRIEND. LOVE YOU{{{HUGS}}}
Diana, I been thinking about you guys I'm wondering how the weather has been in your area. We here in New Mexico have been averaging 10° cooler than normal so I'm not believing too much in global warming. I see that you guys have had a lot of rain. We could sure use some here in South New Mexico as the North has been getting a lot of snowfall last couple weeks. I have been wondering about Ed and how he's been doing and now I'm wondering about you and how you are doing. Send in healing energy to both of you with lots of love and peace. Take care my friend and ENJOY
Just popping in this morning to leave a BIG {{{Happy Birthday HUG}}} to dear {{{kermit}}}} {Smile}
I hope that this coming new Solar Year brings you much happiness and contentment dear friend {smile}
{{{more hugs}}}} on their way over the Pond to you on your Lily Pad! {Smile}
love to you always

Hopping you enjoy your new Solar Year dear friend {{hugs}}
Good morning dear friends {smile}
Hard to believe that a week has gone by since my birthday and in some ways it seems longer. I hope that our Pisces friends here ((Sarah, Robynne, and kermit}}} all enjoyed their own special days as well.
Although the weather was not brilliant (freezing cold with snow flurries) I did have a nice day. We went to the boat at lunch time and tatted about on her and then out for a nice meal in the evening with the two Emmas and Dan (Olly was away in London so couldn’t come). On the Sunday we just stayed in warm at home as there were yet more snow flurries and cold North Easterly winds blowing. Even the sheep were staying tucked up the the stables and they come from the outer islands on the North Easterly side of Scotland! [chuckle}
It is lovely having the new boiler in as this end of the house is now toasting! {smile} Must admit it has been a fairly busy time here in some ways with workman etc. Michael had been off work for three weeks after his knee surgery so it put more pressure on me and consequently my own knee has kicked up big time. I did finally concede and go to the doctor this week and he has referred me to a specialist on the 14th March. He thinks I will need to same procedure as Michael which if that is the case then it is fine although I will be laid up for three weeks as well. At least it means then I will be able to enjoy being on the boat in the summer time without fear of mobility problems continuing. Also joy of joys I ended up with another tooth extraction! Still one just has to keep calm and carry on as they say. {smile} I was so tired and hurting last week that I was in bed by 8pm one night. The joys of Saturn squaring my Ascendant at the moment methinks {smile}
Paul has also not been well this week with his own joint problems and not being able to see his physio as she was fully booked up. He ended up in bed all day Thursday and wasn’t well yesterday though he wouldn’t see a doctor but just said he would see how he was. Dear me don’t we both sound like a couple of old crocks! {laughing} That is one of the reasons not much posting from me as if I am not well etc then I don’t like to write about it.
However, we are now into March and soon spring will be here. This winter has seemed soo long this year – I think after the long wet summer following by a long freezing cold winter has dampened everyone’s spirits really. Mind you Paul and I were luck because at least we were able to holiday Down Under and enjoy their summer time although again that seems an awful long time ago now.
Yesterday when I took the dogs down the quarry I saw that the fluffy ***** willows are out on one of the willow trees which is a sure sign of life returning so that was lovely surprise. We have banks of snowdrops and the winter aconites are making a lovely yellow carpet in the shrubbery as well. They did come out a while back then all got covered with a blanket of snow again! Some crocuses have also come out though the daffodils are very slow this year because of the cold. Mind you we did have a little sunshine this week so you could see the daffodils down the driveway grow an inch as they face the sun! {smile}
Robert was also here this week and he has cut and trimmed the large privet hedge before the birds started nesting. It had grown to a tremendous height as we couldn’t cut it for the last couple of years because the birds always got there first! There is still plenty of height and room for the nestings though. {smile}
It will be lovely when spring is finally here and grass growing and I don’t have to do stables as well with getting the sheep their hay and water in the mornings and the same again with extra feed in the evenings. I think each winter gets harder as I get older but hey isn’t that the same for everyone! {smile}
I have been reasonably busy with ORC stuff through February though have also had time this last week to add more pages to my Esoteric astrology site and hope to add some more over the weekend as well. I think we might pop over to the boat some time over the weekend and see how she is doing which will be a nice little trip out but that depends on how Paul is feeling as it is not much fun if you are feeling unwell.
Nelson has just come up and given me a nudge to remind me that it is past their breakfast time! {chuckle} I think I had better pop this post in and go and make a start on my day before Shula joins in as well! {smile} I hope that everyone is well in their own ~nows~ and will pop back in here later this afternoon as I do want to go through the posts and respond to them. So til later am leaving a {{{warm group hug}}} to {{{all}} who may enter and sending out {{{healing energies}} to those who may need them.
With love always

PS please excuse the rambliness here it is a Neptune day for me as you can probably guess! {grin}
Good morning dear friends {smile}
It is a beautiful morning outside with the sun shining and blue skies! Lovely to see the light on the tree trunks outside my window although we also have the silver of a frost on the ground. The forecast today is to be warmer which is lovely so we can enjoy that today. Mind you I have a visit to the dentist this afternoon for the filling that didn’t happen the last time so I am going to enjoy the walk this morning with the dogs and crack on with a few things as well! {smile} I have also been cracking on with the esoteric pages and am currently working my way through the planets. I completed them up to Jupiter yesterday so will hope to have some more completed by the weekend.
Before I really start rambling on I just wanted to mention that I left a couple of posts yesterday in the healing string asking for energies. It was so poignant that driving back from Hadleigh by phone pinged with a message so I pulled over as I thought it might have been from Paul to find two texts from friends who have been dealing with cancer. One from Jacqui (who is Paul’s ex-wife and Emma and Olly’s mum) saying she had had results and that she didn’t have to have a third operation for her breast cancerand they thought they could continue rtreatment with radiation and drugs. The other was from Angie who is the wife of Dave (friends who have their boat on the same pontoon in the marina as us) saying that they had been to the hospital and his cancer has returned and he has to have another operation. He has had throat cancer resulting in having his voicebox removed. So two different messages with the same cancer link. One elated and the other stunned and in shock. I am sure that you will all join me in sending out extra {{healing energies}} to {{Dave}} and {{Angie}} as they have been through such a touch time for the past 12 months since he was first diagnosed.
Heck I am now looking at the time and have to make a start on my day! {smile} I keep trying to go through the posts and then things take over again but I want you all to know that you are all in my thoughts as I wonder how you are doing and faring in your own ~nows~. {smile}
Leaving a {{{big warm group hug}}} to all who may enter and will be back later… til then
Love always

Hello dear friends {smile}
Just popping in to say that I have completed the Planets section of the esoteric site and after taking a little break from it (as I have some ORC work to do) then I will get cracking on the Attunements of the Planets to complement the other pages.
I hope all are well and thank you dear {{kermit and diana}} for your messages in the Healing string. I am sure the energies will be very gratefully received {{{more hugs}}}
love always

Good morning dear friends {smile}
Well what a time we have had here with winter returning with a vengeance! After having a lovely few days last week with the temperatures warming a little and the crocuses finally popping out we had winter return with a vengeance with the North East winds howling down from Siberia! We have had snow blizzards, howling gales with the temperatures dropping to –7 or 8C !
It is hard to believe that the clocks will change to British Summertime in a few weeks time although I believe that the clocks have already changed across the Pond this weekend.
I have made a start on the Attunements of the Planets now and have completed the Sun and Moon so far. Hoping that it won’t take as long to complete these as some of the other pages. I knew it was going to be a mammoth task to get the site moved over but if I have the main part of the esoteric one done then I can take a little break and perhaps put some of the Kahlil Gibran ones up. Anyway that is for the Universe to decide especially in the amount of time I can spend on my own pages so as to speak.
Can’t you tell that it is a Neptune day for me as rambling along already! {chuckle} I just wanted to leave a little message in here as it is a few days since I left a post here.
{{diana}}} I do hope that {{Ed}} is responding well to the treatment and have been holding both of you in my thoughts and sending out {{energies}}}.I have been also thinking of {{Loralee}} especially with her own problems with her knees as mine have been kicking up quite badly recently. Mind you am seeing the specialist on Thursday so we will see what, if anything, can be done. Guess this getting old(er) takes its toll on the bones doesn’t it? {smile}
{{elfina}} How is life with you dear friend? It will only be another month or couple of months and you will be heading northwards again. Sheesh where does the time go to? {smiling}
{{kermit}}} Hope all is well with you and {{B2}} dear friend {{{hugs}}}
I will be popping into Ipswich later today to see Angie and Dave as he is facing his second bout of surgery on Thursday. His surgeon has informed them that there is only a 50/50 chance of him actually surviving the surgery so they have been in shock over that whilst coming to terms with it and then getting ready to face the next stage. Please keep them both in your thoughts and send energies to help change the odds to a little more in his favour.
On the other side of the coin Jacqui had it confirmed by her surgeon that they had got all the cancer out and that she only has to have the radiation treatment and then hormone therapy for ten years. Hopefully she won’t have the same reactions to the pills as I did. It is as I said in a previous post two opposing sides of the spectrum and if it is not meant to be for Dave then your energies will help dear {{Angie}} for what lies ahead for her.
On that note I think I had better make a start on my morning as I want to get my ORC work up to date before going over to see them after lunch. At least there are bits of blue sky this morning and no further snow is forecast until perhaps tonight so hopefully the main roads will be nice and clear for when I have to drive. {Smile}
Am sitting here sending out {{healing energies}} to all who need them and am also leaving a {{{warm group hug}} to {{all}} who may enter…. Leaving a little ~thought~ for the day til I return again

Hello to All,
Good heavens Liz, sounds like you've been teleported to the Arctic by the sounds of those temps and winds! While I miss the snow and cooler weather living here in the desert, I can only imagine you've certainly had your fill of all of it for this season.
Continuing to send out healing and supportive energies to Dave and Angie. I can imagine what a terrible shock those odds were, but with the combined energies of us here in the Retreat, and the assistance of dear Archangel Raphael, perhaps we can up those odds. As you say, if it is his time to go, then at least the energies may help Angie with what she will face, as well as supporting Dave through his personal journey.
News healthwise on this end isn't so brilliant either. Ed has chosen to postpone his treatment until he has a chance to talk more in-depth with his liver specialist. I'm very nervous about his postponing treatment, but as he pointed out, they've told him in order for the chemo to have the best chance of success, he cannot be under too much stress. He told me he has a bad feeling about starting it while here, so I as hard as it is to stand back and let him make that decision, it is his life, and his decision to make. All I can do is continue to love him and support him in whatever way that I can.
The apartment complex where we live has become a nightmare to live in. Drug dealers moved in right next door to us and they have traffic in and out all night. The landlord is in the process of clearing the riff raff out, but there are legal procedures he has to go through as many of the tenants are here through subsidized housing programs and they are protected by federal law. While I understand that, I also look at Ed who served his country in the trenches in combat, received his housing through the VA, worked hard his entire life, we don't do drugs, and yet we're surrounded by people who do and who have no respect for those of us trying to live quiet, peaceful existences. The police have undercover in the complex we're pretty certain, but it takes months for them to build cases and follow protocol so in the meanwhile, we have to put up with all of the nonsense and Ed is stressed out to the max worrying about me and if a stray bullet is going to come through the window at any moment, or if our lives will be similarly put at risk while they're sorting all of this out.
One this is for certain. When our lease expires in September, we'll be out of here. Had we known it was like this when we moved in, we never would have. It was nice and quiet, clean and calm when we came to look at the place, but then again, that was in the daylight, and all of the trouble makers come out at night when the landlord is gone.
Mom is scheduled for a hernia operation on April 1st so I would ask you all to please send lots of healing and protective energies for her then. Her Dr said she's "High Risk," but it's an operation they said needs to be done, so this has me a little worried though I'm trying not to go overboard with whittling about it. It's just so soon after Dad's passing that I don't like the thought of her being put into a situation like that, but she's between a rock and a hard place with having to have it done at the moment so I must simply let go as much as possible and trust that the Higher Good will be and that she will be kept safe and heal fully and quickly {smile}. They've also found a lump in her left breast that needs to be removed. They don't feel it's cancer, but will know more after removal and biopsy, and that will be scheduled sometime after the hernia operation.
I'm now able to see a Dr again through a sliding scale clinic and have a battery of my own testing to go through. Dr suspects MS and wants me to go to a neurologist, but I'm triaging my own care at the moment because the budget needs to be considered. The tumors are also back in my uterus, so that is more significant in my opinion so I will be keeping my appointments for radiology and OBGYN for those. Also, a lump is in my right breast that I need a mammo for a closer look at, so that's #2 on the list. Then the COPD has worsened but at the moment it (and the MS) are the least of my concerns and can be managed. I do have a nebulizer now that works a treat on the COPD attacks and helps to restore breathing to a much better state, so as I say, it's all about triage {smile)
I wish it was better news to share, but figured we're all honest with one another here, and the healing energies for both Mom and Ed are much needed and greatly appreciated. I hesitated posting all of this for a while as I just didn't want to bring anyone here down as goodness knows you're all dealing with your own ~now~ things, but honestly, I'm so tired of bottling things up and just feel on the verge of tears.
Hopefully next time I post, it will be with happy things to share.
Meanwhile, my dear friends, thank you for being here, for listening to me, and for the love you freely share. I love you all,
Diana
