All heARTs day... thoughts.

For me i have to write one thing... so i can clear my head, or as i call it my RAM, such is the case from yesterdays post to todays. But first things first... as i was going to school, late this morning, to visit a teacher whom i work with during my winters off, i came across this sidewalk scene that reminded me of my shy days of youth... did you not hate it when you took your all your heARTs love to school and found it tossed aside and unwanted??!

SAY YES...                                                                            February 14, 2013

It has taken me since elementary school to get over these kinds of events... now i just choose not to be offended by them... period. 
Now... some small critter, cat or dog will come along and eat these sweets and get a belly ache or... it will rain today and wash it all away.
Happy all heARTs Day !!! (-:






Ya know i never did get around yesterday to say anything about what Ben Behunin said to that group of quilter's... he spoke a bit of the three Isaac books, and a few comments about Borrowing Fire and funeral crashing... but then he came to what i thought was the heART of the matter. Ben spoke of the creative process that we all have in our lives, weather or not we know it or recognize it as such. Ben is a potter, he makes "mud pies" i believe he said, the group he was talking to makes quilts. All of us in one form or another "makes"/does something, and there is a point in/during that physical "making" process where we can do what we do pretty much out of habit without much close attention...  At this point the mind starts to wander and go where it wants or thinks about other issues we may be having. Ben said this is an important time, we need to turn off the "World" noise... radio, TV, and our own personal issues etc. and be quite and listen... this is when we can hear what God has to say to us... but we must listen because its not in most cases a loud voice... its quite and still. Ben said one of  his most favorite scripture's was 2Timothy1:7 " For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,...". This, he said, has helped him to be a potter and now also a writer... This advice i believe can help each of us, so make and take some time every day to be still/silent and alone to listen, ponder, and meditate...  turn off the world for awhile.   Wonder filled books Ben has written on many levels... Thanks Ben.

On a lighter last note the Gem theater in Panguitch is re-opening... movies and handmade ice cream and who does not scream for ice cream... Happy heARTs day !!
I went in earlier today to purchase movie tickets for the 6:00 showing with my sweetheART, and got to chat with the new owner for a moment, who stated that they will be open six days per week year round... hooray!! So come support the new movie house. The ice cream in the case was just looking great, sorry i got no picture.

Cheers to the day...
