This is my second birthdayparty today!

Ooops, wrong thread...

Just returned from Maui at my daughters wedding. Everything you do for your kids, no matter how thankless it seems at the time, is worth it. Fifteen years ago, when my life fell apart and I lost everything, went through the dark night of the soul, and almost committed suicide, I can now stand here today in the here and now, with perspective, and give encouragement to those who are still in the abyss, and tell you that there is a new chapter to be written.

See the look in her eyes?



This is the song we danced to, chosen by me.

It is true. When all is said and done, and all else fades away, love is what remains.

Congratulations on becoming a father-in-law, Gripreaper, (hehe), and thanks for dropping by and
your kind words of encouragement to all who aren't riding on the top of the wave at the moment.

Much has happened in the last three years, and although it doesn't seem so, from where Im sitting now, and it just looks like my cats have become fatter, with one new addition (Suzie) life feels completely different.
The December 2012 end of the Mayan calendar has come and gone, and in many ways did unblock stuff,
and speed up the processes which help with our growth.

May we continue to protect the entire human family from all plotters who wish it harm, and thwart their ongoing war mongerings.

Hoping that our dear hosts, Bill Ryan, Christine, and their dog Mara will show up today, if only briefly.

A year ago he was the life and soul of our birthday festivities.

So, here's a special toast to them...

(With a treat for Mara)

It is beautiful outside, sunny and about 80 degrees. A breeze. No city noises. M has taken to driving, so she is off on a trip to the city. Em wanted to do some schoolwork, so she is quiet. So I was sitting outside just now, thinking.

Three years ago, I was about as awake and/or aware as a thimble full of mud. And there have been so many changes in this yet to be complete transition. I honestly remember the day I found the Village, and the comfort you all offered. I remember the first woo-woo experience I ever had, when Marianne introduced me to Reiki. Or the day I texted PL that I have wings, just getting the nerve to share that took several hours. I was so afraid someone would think I was crazy, or weird.

So many times, my heart has been touched here, in this Village. Yes, by those of you who have helped me, but experiencing the same when I listen to you share with each other or help each other, like when I'm not online. I honestly have shed so many tears with you special people. Tears of joy, tears of sorrow/pain.

Amethyst, honey, any time you want to be in the Here and Now, you just come on. Everyone else whose heart is in the right place, too, for that matter.

Life here can be painful, invigorating, joyful. And then when you throw in waking up to what is Real...well...that complicates things.

Thank you so much, Every One of You.

Much Love,

[Billy]

I could smell the coffee. I will set up a stall where we can have a pirates coffee.
similar to an Irish Coffee but with Captain Morgan Rum instead of Whisky.

Captain Morgan Seventy three percent!

Wow that was a fast year. I am still nursing the hangover from the last Birthday. Far to many pirates coffees were consumed.


A very happy and blessed Birthday here and now.

Scary how time flies faster and faster these days.
Last years party does seem like weeks ago.

By the way, the earliest form of prayer was dance.

Thanks for being such lovely beings, villagers. I have been thinking about where to put my "1,000th post," and couldn't think of a better time and place than to do so here. Normally I don't give thought to the amount of comments members have here, as I think quality is more important than quantity. But looking back over the year of my membership on Avalon, I feel blessed to have shared every one of the 1,000 comments I have made towards various members on a wide diversity of threads.

Sure, my stubbornness and frustration sometimes makes me come across as off-putting, but I do mean well and all that I want is Truth, Freedom, and Prosperity for all beings on this planet.

May the road rise to meet you,

Robin (Samwise)

I love you all, Here and Nowers. How can one not love a quaint Village like ours?

Singing lifts the spirit. Dougie Mclean drops in and busks with Glasgow street band.

In keeping with the spirit of the thread

I'm currently working (folding) on this in the North forty of my yard. The blankets and tarps were still damp so I laid them all out to dry yesterday. Nice and dry now. Didn't take long with all of the strong rays from the sun.



Be back to the party later

Love

Nora

So many great posts here today.

Nora, you're making good progress on the lodge.

Here's Emily-wookie cat in costume. She's waiting for Bill's lovely dog, Mara.


A wee bit of time-warping here.... Mark, that's good news (more participation and less lurking). See how psychic I am

[markoid]

Happy happy birthday villagers! I pledge more participation and less lurking in the coming year
