I'm very late here - I think I just hadn't subscribed and hadn't realised until Christmas or so, when all the palava was 'sort of done' .. still not but I'll catch up. A whole new world, a whole new community - I haven't read all the comments but the negativity of the life this western civilisation seems to have cut out for us, you seem to have set out well. I've always 'admired' (wanted to be like) those friends with loving parents, people who can mix and match easily, where it doesn't matter what's happening they just get on with it. I have in the last 20 years or so picked up on changes that I could make and some I have, but it's tricky if life is not easy .. and I haven't been able to get away as such. I am definitely politer, kinder, more thoughtful - but I still get cross, when I perceive others aren't thinking or aware of my boundaries and that being a little adapting to my needs, when I perceive I'm fitting in with them most of the time - makes life not easy. I found my feet in South Africa, and I'm glad I came home - I've enjoyed the family and friends etc ... however it can be negative as they don't change. Perhaps life will be easier when I am free and my mother has been cared for: it is easier with only one to care for. I am learning now - especially this year .. has been an upward turn since becoming a member of the awesome people that are around here - I can't believe my luck in finding these bloggers and their thought provoking thoughts and sensible admonishments that we can improve our lives in so many ways - and that they are here to guide us .. with whomever we feel like relating to - spiritually, thoughtfully etc etc I'll be on to the other posts as the day passes - I hope you've both had happy times in these last few days and are looking forward to 2010 with peace and blessings for all - or as Robin says love for all.

Yes you sure have outdone yourself with this comment, <em>we do a course in miracles too you know!</em> It is so easy to say 'yes' I know this stuff and 'yes' I do it, but you are spot on with your example. We do NOT have it together because <em>this </em>world has NOT got it together. How can you stay squeeky clean when the whole world around you throws mud at each other. You are bound to get some mud on you as well! I am with Ann-Marie here, I absolutely adore and so appreciate your honesty, more than you know. When you observe yourself, you see that you cannot always be the change you want to see, despite how much you want it. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is what it is and when you are aware at least you understand when you observe yourselt doing this: <blockquote>So what kind of loving thing do I do? I lay on the horn, long and ugly beeps and scream assholes! </blockquote> We are indeed <em>never done growing. we will never be finished peeling back the layers </em>as you said and as long as we know that we can observe and correct. THAT is what Ann-Marie and I are on about, observe and correct and you gave a great example about what I am trying to say here, my beautiful bold friend. Hey Tess.

You keep it real Tess. Life comes at us and we react, our auto pilot kicks in ... we lay on the horn and scream assholes and continue on our way. We are so used to living this way that change has to be an on-going process. Learning, observing, doing fundamental change, it's a constant occurance in everyday life. When we stop reacting then we can start creating and being the change. I see your tremdous love for humanity, I see it so clearly in you. And I love what you're creating with the truck drivers ... bless em! Much love Ann-Marie Keep them coming Tess, your honesty, humour and willingness to share so openlly with us, is heartwarming, valuable and real. You keep it real Tess.
