X I have no idea

X can be for x-ray but what else I have no idea will have to look at my Thesaurus book and find something. One thing I found is x-chromosome, the female chromosome that makes a girl baby.   If x and y join you get a boy baby.  Okay enough about x's, oh yea there is also ex, for divorced spouses.  
It seems I am 2 days behind, as this is the last day of April and today I was suppose to be on Z but oh well I will continue into May writing something here daily now that I have started.

W?

Well there is a w.  Lets see W is for a list of words, another w, that may or may not be what you are looking for.
Wait, seems we are always waiting for something.  In an line up somewhere, waiting for someone to come so you can have the car when you have to be somewhere on time.
W is for today, Wednesday what is called hump day of the week.  Why? because it it the middle of the work week.  I'm coming up with a lot of w's aren't I?
Thought this would be a little harder than it is.
Another w is worthwhile.  You, I know I am worthwhile, I am worth my weight in gold, or is it now silver.  That would be a lot right now as I have to lose weight, which would bring my worth up not down.  I'm worthy of being loved, and being loving.
Tomorrow may be a little more difficult, X may be a one liner or one word.

V, v is for

V is for Victory over anything that is hanging over your head.  My victory is having Chicken Soup accept one of my stories.  This time I get paid for my work, I don't pay the publisher. Chicken Soup for the Inspirational Nurses Soul coming out in July has accepted Unresponsive a story about one of my L.P.N. nursing experiences.
V is also for validation to make legal, for instance validating a parking ticket or validating the right to your own opinion.  I have the right to my own opinion and in taking that right I validate it.
V is also for Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, underline the u hehe. As I heard on the news a few weeks ago a member of parliament doesn't know how to spell Columbia.  He wants us to be the country in South America, Colombia. Okay it is only one letter in a word, but it makes a big difference.
The same as to, too, and two.  I know people now use just one of the three to mean all three meanings. Okay enough rambling.  It is a good thing no one else reads this.  It is just for me to ramble on about nothing or something.

Today U is for Unity

To me Unity is a nondenominational house of God, whether you call It, God, Buddha, He or She, the Light or Energy.  At Unity you can have your God who or what every you want to call Him or Her.
I started going to Unity of Vancouver a number of years ago, well lets say over 25 years ago.  A friend asked me to go to a Christmas concert with her. I went and by February the next year I wanted to go and see what a Sunday service was like.  It intrigued me, I had never heard anything like I had heard at the Christmas concert.
The Sunday service was just as intriguing and I started going weekly, then something happened and I decided this wasn't why I was coming to church.  I found another Unity, this one in New Westminster, Unity In Action at the corner of Edinburgh and 17th.  I walked into that little country church in a big city and felt I was home.  I've been there ever since which 20 years.  I still have that same feeling of being at home and welcome. The people are family and all feel the love and warmth of the Christ in each other.  I was on the board of U.I.A for 6 years. I learned a lot and I think gave a lot.  We are so happy and proud of our minister now who comes all the way to Unity In Action from Washington State every Sunday and Thursday.  He is our spiritual leader and friend.  Thank You Rev Roy A.
I also want to praise Silent Unity in Kansas U.S.A.  They are 125 years old this year.  You can e-mail them a prayer, phone in for a prayer and they will pray with you.  Silent Unity prayers over wants, needs and requests for a month.  That is a lot of prayer power.  Unity Churches have a prayer box that is prayed over for a month too then they are sent to Silent Unity for another month.  There again is a lot of prayer power. Thank you Unity In Action and Silent Unity for all the prayer power you give.

Saturday should be for U

But I think I just want to write about what I am feeling right now. Just  came from a spiritual meeting, one that a number of us attend at a lady's home about every 6-7 weeks.  I felt today as if I had missed something a number of years ago when I was meditating on a room with mirrors.  I was finally able to open the door to the room but all the mirrors were covered except one.  As all the coverings came off I saw my life from the time I was little to the present day.  Maybe the mirror I missed was one that has recently been added to that room.  I'm afraid to go back and look at the mirrors again.  But I know at some time I will and maybe like or not what is behind the curtain. It is bothering me spiritually but I will deal with it as I dealt with the room before.  When I am ready I will open the door again.  The difference this time will be that God will be with me.  The last time I opened that door I was alone.  God is always with me now, I am never alone.

Time, treasure and talent

If you have the time you  have treasure and talent.Now what does that mean?  Well that is what you donate to your house of worship or any other donation you decide to grant your time, treasure or talent to.  Treasure does not necessarily mean money, it can mean just you giving of yourself, using your talent for what what is needed or wanted.  Everyone has some kind of talent, maybe not necessarily singing, I can't sing worth a dime but I have donated my time to sing in a small choir for a day.  I had fun getting to know the other people in the choir and singing songs I knew.
Time I have a lot of, maybe you have some time too to give some of it away and receive nothing special in return but know you gave of yourself.  That in itself is a treasure to you.
Oh yea I mentioned talent, I thought for a long time I didn't have any talent, what was that, what was talent.  Well talent is being there just to listen, or give a hug. You may not believe that but one day when you see someone in need of someone to just listen give an ear or just a hug.  A hug is no more than that, A HUG!  I used to think it meant a whole lot more but I found out that I needed just a hug sometimes and so does everyone else.
This is a long one, maybe because I didn't write it, God did through me.

S

S is for the sweet smell of Lilacs in the spring.  The smell is sometimes overpowering but so sweet it is sensually pleasant.
I am sore from the dampness of the rain. I want the rain to stop or maybe I should go to somewhere warm and cozy.  Now there is an idea.  
Serenity was a pretty young girl who spent her time wandering through the sweet smelling forest of lilacs.  She was so taken with the scent that she didn't notice the shallow ditch on the side of the path. From the ditch a scent of decay overcame her and she looked down and saw an old bush of decaying lilacs.  She picked it up and with the serenity of her love she brought them back to the beauty of the wonder of life.

R is for ....

Rest, relaxation, resources,  to get rest you have to relax into quiet resource hehe.
Remake yourself by changing your attitude towards yourself and your surroundings.  Change your mind to change your attitude.
Oh, r is for rhubarb, which is growing nicely in my yard.  Can't wait for the next picking.  We have already had rhubarb muffins and they were good.  Don't have enough to make a rhubarb pie but don't really know how to make a rhubarb pie.  One I made ran all over the plate and over the oven.  Tasted good though but it was more like a rhubarb crumble than a pie.  I love rhubarb and strawberry pie but again don't know how to make one.  Maybe I should google it hehe.
Rest assured I will finish the alphabet as I've got to R tomorrow is S, don't know what to write about S yet but something will come up.

Today is Q

There isn't many words that begin with Q and a Q always seems to needs a u after it to make a word.  Quality instead of quantity is a one that I like and is good one to live by.  If you have quality you have what you need in life.  Quantity only means that you have a lot of something but it is not necessary worth what you want it to be.  The quality life means a whole lot more to me that the quantity. I think any who reads this will understand that statement.
Q is also for quiet of mind when you are stressed.  Quiet the mind and quiet the body at the same time.  Breath in the quiet of peace and exhale the stress and tension.  You will feel a whole lot better and you will be much happier.  

O is for ooops

Sorry to those who are following my alphabet blog.  I forgot Friday to even come on the computer till late in the afternoon.  I was enjoying the warm sunshine, reading outside.
Now o as I said is for ooops, sorry I forgot.
P is for please forgive me for forgetting.  Will try to remember to write daily from not on even if the sun is shinning and I want to go out and read.
O is for opulent, what ever that is, maybe I should look it up since I wrote it.  Don't you think?
Rich abundance, okay I have abundance opulently. hehe. I Am richly abundant with the Power of God.
O is also for Omnipotent and P for Power and Presence of the One who is All
P is for the pleasure of ones company who you love and respect.

M is for mistake, N is for ...

I forgot to write yesterday, spent too much time enjoying my birthday.  It was a wonderful day, first went to the gym with a dear friend then went shopping with whit her. She knows about colors and what looks right on a person. When  I came home decided to have pizza for dinner. Tonight we are  having an organic pork roast for dinner.
Okay now for N,  N is for new year, new day. Nice friends and family.  New clothes I can't wait to wear to show off.  Wearing one of the blouses today.
Oh yea N is for nephew, my nephew is visiting for his week out of camp at Kitimat.  He has worked there  for about 3 years now.  He  is in for 3 weeks then out for a week. It has been a while since he visited.
Note:  there is a call from Chicken Soup for the Soul for cat stories.  Check them out at www.chickensoup.com  

L is for

L is for letting me know you are, if anyone is, reading this.  That is why I didn't blog before, no one read it anyway.  I was just wasting my time like I may be doing now.
L is also for love, of self and of others, you can't love someone else unless you love yourself first. You may not like what someone does but you can still love them for who they are.  A human being who is not perfect,  no one is perfect.  We try but no one meets the mark of being Jesus but Jesus Himself.
L is for linked to someone by a connection as delicate as a feather but as strong as a steel beam.
L is for lunar when there is a full moon some of us become lunatics which just means we are affected by the pull of the moon, not that we are crazy.  Work a night shift in the hospital during a full moon and see all the bells that ring for one reason or another.  Any nurses reading this will understand that.

K is for

I have no idea, lets see, K is for a kite, k is for kindness given and received.  Now there is a word that needs no introduction, kindness.  Kindness is what is given to a person in need of a little love, maybe a hug or a kind word or maybe even a kiss on the cheek or the lips for that matter.  We all at sometime need a kind word.  When we are down, unhappy, or feeling low for one reason or another.  It makes us feel a whole lot better knowing someone cares enough to give us a little kindness.  Kindness begets kindness and love.  When you are kind to me I want to be kind to you.

Sunday

Tomorrow is K to day is a day of relaxation and joy in having my nephew here for a week.  He works up in Kitimat and is in for 3 weeks then out for a week.  Making good money, wish I was young and handsome then I could go up to camp and make money for my retirement.  Yea right, when you are young you don't think about your retirement.  All you think about is spending the money you make.

The letter Jay

Today is the letter is Jay.
Jay for Joy of living.  Living with Joy is a wondrous thing.  You feel alive and want participate in your life.  With no joy in your life you just exist and have no real life.  With Joy you love everything, your family, friends, and just about everyone else in the world.  You okay I enjoy the sunshine, which it is doing right now instead of rain but rain is okay too as we need the rain for the plants that grow in the spring.  But rain is not for us arthritic suffers.  I know when it is going to rain because I get pain in my joints, another jay word.  But once I get up I start to feel better and I still feel the joy of living when I know I am loved and I am loving.

I is for indecision

Indecision is something that keeps me from doing what I want to do.  But if I can make up my mind to do the what ever it is the indecision goes away.  Indecision can keep me from making up my mind to do what ever.  Okay for instance I want to go to the book store and ask to have a book signing but the indecision is stopping me from hopping on the bus and going down to Broadway, walking into the book store and asking to speak to the manager.  S/he may say no, but s/he just might say yes then what do I do.  There again is the indecision, what do I do if s/he says yes?
See how indecision can effect your life?  If I (another I word) take my God given courage in my hands and go for it I would find out what the manager would say and I would know.

H is for

No H story today but something to think about.
H is for the heart of the problem, what problem there is no problem.
H is for the heart of love of which there is a whole bunch.
H is for the health of the body and the heart.
H is for the ham either from the pig or the ham that is a comedian when he hams it up.
H is for the handlebars of the bikes we ride or rode as children.
H is for helping someone in need. I need help to know who if anyone reads these.  So please help me by responding with a comment that you at least read it.  Thanks for the help.

Woops almost forgot

Okay today is G.
G is for the story of how God is leading my life.  I have let go of control and let God lead me.  It works if you let Him lead.
I asked a friend to go to a Christmas concert with me and she said she would if I went with her to the Christmas eve service at her church.  I did and by February I was going regular. God who had been in my life but I didn't realize it pulled me back into his fold.  I was hooked hehe.  I felt lonely if I didn't get to go to church on Sunday and maybe a class during the week.  It is like a drug a good drug but something that won't let me go.  I changed churches after a while because I wasn't happy with what was going on.  So I went to the church I'm going now.  Unity In Action has been my spiritual home for over 20 years.  I've gone through many ministers that came and went for one reason or another.  The minister we have now is loving, caring, a joy to listen to, and is truth.  I am the only chaplain now who listens to and prays with people who need a private prayer.  Tomorrow night I will be leading the prayer circle at 6PM for half an hour as the minister will be busy with other things.  He trusts me to do what is right for the people who come for prayer.  I thank him for his trust in me and God for the pleasure of being a member of Unity In Action at the corner of Edinburgh and 117th in New Westminster and a child of the living God.

Day 6 F?

Well no story today, don't think.
F is for faith in ourselves and in the Christ within.
F is for the friendship we share with people we like and love.
F is for freedom to do almost what we want with no one to tell us we can't that is as long as it is within the law of Canada.
F is for forgiveness of the hurt feelings that happen when someone or ourselves treat us as we don't like.  We have to find the feeling of forgiveness so we feel better.  That does not necessarily mean what we or the other person did is right or that we  condone it, we just don't take it on as ours.  We forgive and forget to make ourselves feel freedom from that feeling of regret or angry.
F is for facing up to what we do and take it on as ours, and if that means we ask for forgiveness so be it.
Forgive me for any hurt I  have done to you who ever you are and please forgive me.

D and E

Well lets see.  E is for Easter and D is for Day, so how was your Easter Day or week for that matter? Mine was great.  Got my palm leaf last Sunday and Daffodils yesterday at church.  Easter is a time of reflection on the rising of the Christ within you. Every Easter I renew my Christ centre and make it my place of peace.   

We had a big dinner here last evening, seven people, expecting 8 but one was sick. Sending her our love and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Our neighbor cooked a wonderful roast beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding and veggies. We had it here because we are the only one with a table big enough or so they say. Everyone enjoyed being together and the chatting.  That is what big dinners are suppose to be, enjoyed.  The hard part is doing the dishes.  But I did them this morning with help from Ken.  Tomorrow is F oh boy that will be interesting.

The minister yesterday started a response of the Alphabet.  What words can you come up with for each letter that is spiritual?  Okay that is a challenge for any one who reads this to post on facebook.

D is for, well lets see

The Divine love gives me everything I can ask for.  Not necessarily the way I expect or want but the Divine way.
This is a special weekend for Christians, the remembrance of the, as a friend said, the real birth of the Christ.  Divinity is what Jesus gave us.  He was reborn within each of us.  He told us that the Divine Love was within you.  He said Heaven was closer than your breath. I believe He is right behind my heart, my Christ place.  Also just behind your heart.  I'm not preaching but this is what came to the keys this morning to do with D.    Happy Easter to everyone.

Strange barn yard friends

The cat waited daily for her friend to return from her day of eating grass.  The cow was an unusual friend for Celia.  She came in to the barn only to be milked twice a day and then usually went back out again. Some days though she would spend the night and Celia would be able to crawl into her stall and cuddle by her head.
One night the cow spoke to Celia, "Hi, I've noticed you quite a few times.  Why do you come and cuddle with me?  I'm not your kind, I'm much bigger and I could hurt you if I took a bite of oats and you were too close."
Celia, was so surprised that she answered the cow.  "I cuddle up to you head because I'm lonely and I want someone to care about me.  You come in and on the nights you stay you let me cuddle. I'm too afraid to go out and the smells that come in with you are so interesting.  Do you mind that I cuddle?"
"No," the cow said.  "I don't mind, but why don't you come out with me tomorrow morning.  You might just like it."
"Oh But I couldn't go out.  It is so scary for someone so small as I am."
"Well, the cow said.  "If you climb on my back I will protect you from anything that scares you."
The  cat was so surprised that she said. "Oh would you.  I could go on your back and see the outside."
"Yes," said the cow.  Oh by the way my name is Clarabell.  Now lets go to sleep.  See you in the morning.  Good night Celia."
"Good night ClaraBell."

B Day, April 2

April 2, okay today is B day.
My birthday is in April there is an A too
I enjoy freshly home cooked bread.
There is no break in love
Bathsheba was David's love in the old testament.
I will look into my Thesaurus for B words I'm stuck
I loved being the babysitter for my nieces and nephews when we were young.
I want a big unknown word, but here is a word I love, bagpipes.  I love the sound of them.
I'm going to hear them at the Edinburgh tattoo August 2017.  Anyone want to come with us?
Here is one bamboozle, haven't heard that in a long time.  I'm not trying to bamboozle anyone with this.
Oh yea remember the Bucket seat in those old cars.  Who has ridden in a bucket seat?
That is it for today, C is tomorrow.  Hey maybe I should write short stories with the words instead of just lines with words in them.  Will consider that tomorrow.  Oh now there is a challenge.

Okay this is the first day of April and the letter is A
All of me is a wonderful person. I believe in me as a lady.
I AM one of God's children and have faith in His living in me.
A beautiful day, with sun and few clouds, God has made
 I AM going to enjoy it to the  fullest.
A willingness to be one with God is filling me to the fullest.
