Lisa Online's Journal, 26 Sep 10

Weekends do have a way of slipping into the future. I enjoyed my little camp out on Carla's farm where the stars and moon are brighter. It took us almost two hours to pitch the tent while laughing in hysterics from exhaustion and at the site of the poorly constructed tent. Teamwork and tenacity worked to our favor finally when we anchored down the bottom of the tent with rope tied to bricks to hold the bottom of the tent for stability and leverage of the tent poles. The tent managed to stay up all night but thank goodness it wasn't a windy night. Mary found a snake to play with last night, (Mommy wasn't thrilled except to see how happy it made her when she was holding the little guy), we met Eursula, Carla's newly adopted 10 year old Shepherd who is the sweetest. well behaved old doggy who seems to have a constant smile because she has so much room to roam in. Today, Mary rode around on an ATV, held the baby duckling, doves, and helped feed the farm animals such as the goats, horse, and chickens. My house is still cluttered and I do intend on fixing it in my near future but must say my family and I have really enjoyed our visits with friends and family these past few fun filled weekends. There will be plenty of time during the rainy season for uncluttering my home, car, my life! TOWANDA!!!!

A wave of confidence today could have you feeling that you could convince anyone to see your point of view. You may not even notice this until you realize that you’ve persuaded others to accept your ideas. This may give you the sensation of being influential and strong. You may want to take a moment to examine why this energy has become available to you and seek a higher purpose for it. Each of us has unique talents and abilities that work together in the ecosystem of the universe toward good. So we may want to consider how we can use this ability to bring good into the world. Today you can accept the responsibility that comes with your talent, and use it for a greater purpose for yourself and the world.

When we feel powerful like this, it can be easy to forget that we are not the source of the power and that we have been given it for a purpose. It may be tempting to use it to achieve our own personal goals rather than acting as a channel for the universe’s energy. But when we use our talents to consciously convince someone to make a change, we create an energetic connection. When we bring good into the world and improve the lives of others, we will enjoy the benefits, but if we lose our path and use others, we will need to take part in the rebalancing of the misused energy. Today, by persuading others toward their highest good, you become a positive influence in the world.

Lisa it sounds like you had so much fun. I have never camped in a tent. I have camped in a travel trailer, so it would be a new experience to me. Thank you for your kind words today; I love cooking and am always trying new stuff. I have so many recipes I could never make everything. Am always on the prowl for a new one. I spent all afternoon creating some charts for my husband. He and two other Drs are starting a new lab and he has me do the grunt work ~ LOL. Oh well, the time goes to the same bank. I am so glad we got the computers up and running again. The laptop had to have some repairs and updates and the upstairs PC needed a new DSL, which fortunately we had. Cannot run the laptop without it either. We were concerned about all this but it all worked out, thank goodness. I rely very heavily on them for personal reasons and work related. AND....I could not get on FS. That I surely missed. Still can't get caught up on all the buddies and their journals. I hope they understand. Lisa, have a great week and hang in there, with your great attitude about life, you will do well. You are an inspiration to all of us, you know. I love your journals too. "TOWANDA"

I too thank you for your kind words Lisa. You are a faithful buddy and I so appreciate you!!! The city girl in me loves reading more about the snake than having to experience that, lol. But farm animals are incredible. We had a membership to a local petting farm for the children while they were in preschool and I'll never forget those days. You picked wisely these past few weekends Lisa. The "Mary" moments are more rare than the "Martha" ones. TOWANDA!!!
