Oh… a plethora of pondering…

It’s great to be in vacation on vacation, yes in vacation mode, relaxed, fed, rested, and appreciative. Yesterday I woke so early and didn’t realize that the blood moon eclipse was what I was looking at, it was so awesome but I forgot it was happening, I think we forget often about counting our blessings. Sometimes there is even boredom in the bliss. But this blessing of time is what reactivates my mind. It’s like yesterday I got to watch clouds, oh yeah, that’s the childhood time unplugged where I could appreciate the time to just be…

And here I wax poetic about just pondering life… (and yesterday was great living it – love Florida vacation pondering in the pampering… went to a coffee house club, circus museums and mansion and oh the art galleries, then at a friend of a friend’s house on the bay… relaxing in the morning then evening by the pool in the backyard. Vacation day 2, oh what a view – to look at me and what should could I do…

.

Oh what could I be?

In life, what could I do?

Maybe I could join the CIRCUS?

Well, yeah, how about you?

.

Circus seamstress? Fix the tents? Sew sequins? Maybe swing on the TRAPEZE? Now that’s more my BREEZE.

Animal wrangler? Concession stand worker? Being in the CIRCUS is a way of life. What about a Tightrope Walker? Yes is that us WALKING everyday as we try not to stray… You could shoot me out of a cannon too, I would enjoy the view. And life does go UP and DOWN, but really, I think I’m supposed to be a CLOWN…

In life, I really could clown around, my feet already hardly ever touch the ground and yeah jam myself in the little car too, life cram it all in, I already do that, whew…

Contemplating contentment, I could also be a life teacher, a researcher, a wonderer… I could write about life too forever as a foreverer.

I do travel and sightsee and that’s when I have time to contemplate me. In travel, life pondering takes flight. 

I like a pastime like crossword puzzles when I travel, and I do visit to see people’s kids (experienced in that). My kids are grown, but now I have to wait until they have vacation to coordinate time with me in destination travels, feeling free.

At home I could cook (but nah…). I do sew and garden, and write and write. I could join even more clubs, do talks, but all this is just a hobby plan, right? Really science and helping people are my current life plan, yeah that’s “my jam”.

Well… but God makes the plan, it might be the best focus to check with “The Man.” The Man upstairs is downstairs too, so I have to see, what God has in store for me. 

And so let’s nix notions of the solo life and instead think a mix of God and me. Yes Lord, You will put me where I need to be. 

I could would should just be me. God made me to be me and I need me to be me. And I do need to dabble, in lots of fun things, in time which is free…

I love vacation and time to be me (in temperatures that are well above normal you see for me), and I like seeing life in vistas that overlook the calm sunset and sea.

One day, we could and will all see, how God took care of you and of me. That’s the best living free, knowing God’s almighty love is there ALREADY. So for now, I’ll just be. 

Just Be.

Amen
