We had a huge amount of snow fall very fast and continued for two weeks.  At first I was dreading all the work it was producing, but then I found that the exercise of shoveling actually helped to heal my shoulder that had serious problems for over a year, all the pain is gone now!

What brings you peace?

Just sitting....last spring I sat in an adirondak chair up on top of a mountain in a grove of trees.  There were sunbeams shining and many butterflies were playing in the beams.  That was the ultimate peaceful moment, just to sit and witness...

Just to add a bit more time for myself, otherwise it is pretty well balanced.

Do you believe there is value in suffering?

Posted on Jan 11th, 2009 by Stef : sweet emotion.... Stef
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 11, 2009:

I think there is a lesson in any kind of suffering.  We learn something from every thing that is presented to us, if we choose to see the lesson.  I have suffered from body pains for a long time.  I chose to see the value of a lesson in the pain, that I do not have to let the pain own me.  I learned of the many ways that I can challenge the pain without the use of doctors and medicine and I did it.  I also learned not to put any label to the pains.  I am the one in control.  When the pains return occasionally, I know that I have lost control for a bit and want to regain it.

If you had to pick another religion to practice, what would it be

Posted on Jan 12th, 2009 by Stef : sweet emotion.... Stef
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 12, 2009:

It would be one that is unified, democratic, no "leaders", no high councils, no expectations, no rules, great deal of laughter and happiness, just friendship and sharing and common ground of acceptance and love.  I don't know if there is a religion to fill that and so I choose to walk my own path....

What do you have the hardest time asking for?

Posted on Jan 4th, 2009 by Stef : sweet emotion.... Stef
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 04, 2009:

I have a hard time asking for help from others because of my strong innate stubborn independant ways.  It has been one of my biggest lessons along this journey, allowing help, accepting help, and realizing I do not have to feel weak or too proud.  just allow the generosity of others to be there.

When were you last completely dependent on someone?

I am a very independant person and the only ting that comes to mind is having my baby girl 5 years ago.  But even then, the nurses got mad at me when I got out of bed right after having the baby and went to the restroom all by myself.  Boy did I make a mess!

Can you create something beautiful just by looking?

Yes, I believe if we can all see the beautiful in anything, we can strive towards the change that is wanted for our blessed planet.  I can look at a fallen tree in the forest, its life having passed, and yet its life will continue in the earth to nourish, to create, to continue, and yet to some, it is merely a log now.  I choose to see the eternal beauty.

What do you have the hardest time giving?

Posted on Jan 5th, 2009 by Stef : sweet emotion.... Stef
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 05, 2009:

I seem to have a hard time giving the right guidance, understanding to one of my daughters.  She is a good kid, for sure, but does not understand the meaning of helping me, or assisting me with life in general.  I seem to be unable to place the right kind of tough love to help her see "the light".  And so I go on my way, accept her for who she is, and who I am, and have faith that life will work out for her in her own way.
