Navy Diver Drowns & Meets his Soul Family (Near-Death Experience)


In researching many events that have to do with  what has come to be called a "near death experience" I feel that it can't be ignored as some sort of Hysteria anymore.  It's being recounted by far too many people.

I'm now pretty certain that the "Universe" is trying to tell us something....  

In fact, I'm completely convinced of it.

Music Monday: 🎶 introducing the Oud.

 

.  

This instrument is pronounced “Ood”. I have a quite a few tracks of different performers, and have seen some of a woman who plays an upside Spanish guitar in this style.  She’s wonderful but I can no longer find her tapes.  DM me please if you have info on her.  Use the word “OUD” in the heading, please?  🙏🏼

Three on Thursday:

1. I am so DOWN.  😕

I have self diagnosed and decided that it's the fault of  724 news and horrors show I've been watching in which a country which shall not be named turns into it's own worst enemy.  

So, I'm now staring out my Sanatorium Sanctuary windows with a half-arsed grin on my face, willing the birds of my neighborhood to come eat the seeds, all the while trying to not eat ALL the chocolate in my house!

Ohhhh!  Are those Chocolate Chip?

2.  There is a ZERO chance that I can personally do a single thing to stop the insane Genocide in Palestine from being perpetrated by..... *They Who Should Most Definitely Know Better* than to Do THIS terrible thing to anyone else!  

What the Fracks the MATTER with them??  


3.  Do you all want kittens and puppies?  So do I!  I want a cute little kitten or a puppy to hug and play squeaky toys with.....

My best little knitting buddy

Twin Puppies!

Origins of a name…. Not mine but interesting…

 South German: from the ancient Germanic personal name Haimo a short form of various compound names beginning with haim ‘home’. Jewish (Ashkenazic): from the Yiddish personal name Khayim from Hebrew ḥayim ‘life’. See also Kaim. Norwegian: habitational name from a farmstead named Heim from Old Norse heimr ‘home farmstead settlement’ or in some cases a more recent ornamental formation from heim ‘home’.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

 Stupid Stupid Stupid.....  Might does not make Right.   There's not much else to say about it folks.  We have started it... with the very same cohorts as the Suez Canal, the overthrow of a democracy in Iran and re-instating the So Called Shah.... and a few other minor skirmishes.

Wishing for you all to have a Just, Peaceful, and a Happy New Year....

 


Remember to be
Kind
Be Mindful
and to
Open your heart enough to let in the Light of Love
Please....
Do this for the Children
They are the real captives

Three on Thursday… A Good news gazette post.

 Threw my back out last week so posting got limited.   These are only three of the good news items found, and they are all from the Washington Post. 

Steer clear ….  👍🏼   Mooo!  Link to story about a Steer who got away.

 HERE is a helping hand. Up 🆙  Sweet things .. This is a Washington post sharing story about things others do for the less fortunate or the struggling folks among us.

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

 I hope Santa Baby was kind to you and brought you something nice, though maybe not the diamond mine Eartha Kitt asks for in her cute song.

A Doctors Without Borders Doctor…

HERE is the article.  It is worth reading.  

I  think Extremists should never have been able to control the dialog that the sufferers of the Jewish Holocaust have had with the world.  Nearly all of the Jews in my acquaintance have been funny, smart and gentle.  These gentle voices are the ones that have been drowned out since Zionism took over the world stage.

I'm done with Pinterest.

 For the third time I've been censored for explicit content that I NEVER POSTED TO PINTEREST, and that's just too much.  So Long to them.  

Three on Thursday: DMV and the Three YAYs

#1. The DMV visit this day for a renewal went rather well.  I didn't have to take THE DREAD BIG TEST because they said that I'd taken the test on line.  I'm sure that I did not, but they will chalk it up to skatty little memory cells in my aging brain.  DH had the same experience.  Somehow, having taken all the other tests without more than two errors may have done the trick as far as the master computer's brain.  So much for "artificial intelligence".  Somehow it managed to outsmart it's handlers.  YAY AI!


#2.  The Love of my life.  A handyman!

DH fixes things around here.  Yay!

#3.  Birds.. Any and all!  YAY BIRDS!

I want a new app that will make photos into sketches

 

This was made with Sketcher, which is not available anymore.  Does anyone know if there is another app that is this good?  I can't seem to find one.

Three On Thursday:

1.  We have had no wild bunnies this year.  It must have been a lousy year for raising babies.  I will miss the bunnies who used our back forty (feet) as a playground.  And here is a cute knitted rabbit for your enjoyment.  They are also small.... 4.5 inches tall.  They are part of my Happiness Knitting.


These are called "Little Cotton Rabbits"


2.  My eyes are great but I'm reading nearly every minute that I'm awake (i.e. the whole day). That is apparently not so good for the eyes.   I can't stand  the present political antics, and believe that a certain subset will continue to abuse power in a way that is detrimental to the children of this country, thereby leaving these same children indebted to liars and thieves for decades to come.   This strikes me as very dire.   

3.  So, I've turned back to meditation: 

Proper Meditation can be a Superpower
