4th of July, Thursday

These are great! No wonder they sell fast. Tee Tee indeed!

Oh, question of the day.....I need ideas.

The reiki master says I can visit my loved ones and should set up a signal ahead of time. Something like light flickering (DD nixed this one as being too scary) or being a particular bird/butterfly.

So, how should I plan to lovingly haunt my loved ones?

I haven't talked about food at all in today's posts. Good food fills me up super, duper fast. But, I was able to eat 3 chocolate chip cookies no problem.

My mom visited in dreams. They were not dreams like, "Oh, mom's still alive" type of dreams. They were very definite, "I've got a little bit of time to visit you, but then I have to leave" dreams and there was no denying that she was dead. I remember one very vividly because she went back into a "file cabinet" (sort of like a morgue drawer), telling me her time was up and she really had to go, laid down, the drawer closed and that was that. I also caught glimpses of her out of the corner of my eye for a few years, but that has stopped. I haven't had a visit in a long time, so she must know I'm doing okay.

I would vote for visits via dream energy. My mom's visits gave me a great deal of comfort. It could be, too, that I am open to dream energy. That's how my grandmother visited me, too, to send a message to my mom.

Clouds- literally take my breath away. I sometimes cannot look away when they speak to me.

I am a huge believer in this

For my Dad - its a magpie - black and white bird that is the mascot of his football team. The morning we came home after he passed, I was staying with mum. I went out on the front porch as there was a magpie singing on the railing. It didnt fly away when I opened the door, I went down the stairs to check the letterbox and it hoped along on the grass chatting away - it followed me there and back. I went inside and got my mum. We both stood on the porch as it settled on the handrail for a while. I believe it was my Dad letting us know he was ok and not to be sad. We joked it was him watching to make sure we did things right! Since then I will often have them come and interact with me. I feel its Dads way of letting me know he still with us - we just cant see the physical him

For my best friend - Its a dragonfly - I see them often - playing down at our dam, flying around. It holds a special meaning and always will

Is there any that you feel connected with moreso than others - maybe thats the one xxx

My mom was a huge lover of 70s country music - Emmylou Harris, Crystal Gayle, Linda Rondstadt, Don Williams. Every once in a while one of her favorite songs will come on the radio. I always feel like she sent it because she wanted to hear it. I turn it up really loud and sing along like she would have. It feels like she's in the car with me.

I hope you enjoy lots of chocolate chip cookies and the like!

I think a bird of a variety seen in your area but not a super common one. Maybe one which particularly appeals to you? It will be so comforting for those who believe when you visit. And probably for those who don't think they believe as well because they will still wonder.

Whenever I dream of my daughter I wake up happy because I feel like I've had a visit.

My in laws passed early, MIL was 60, FIL was 63. There have been many visits, but no particular theme. One of favorites involved my son and dh. DH was tucking in our young son. As he was doing so, he thought about his Dad, and that the last time he was in our house, he had taken a picture of him, holding our newborn daughter, sitting in the rocking chair in that very room. (About 5 years prior). Suddenly our toddler son pointed over my husband's shoulder at the rocking chair and said cheerfully, there's your Dad! DH said he turned around both hopefully and also scared that he was actually going to see a vision of his father. He didn't, but clearly our son had.

Good Morning All

Weight 174 - I am shocked but will take it - was expecting a gain

Hoping today will not be as busy. Im off for a cut & colour after work. Always nice to cover the grays!

I had a cortizone injection in my knee yesterday and oh my goodness - what a difference. The local was due to last 8 or so hours so I was wondering how it would feel when I woke up this morning. Its great. Seeing surgeon at the end of the month - with a view to having another in August before we come to the States. It will make lots of walking much more comfortable - yay

Staying at City house this weekend. Tommorrow is plant pickup then collecting a Steel Hay Ring for farm then we will work on the front garden and hopefully fini**** Sunday DSS, his partner and our grandson are coming in the afternoon - we will do an early roast dinner. Will be great to see them

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th July :)

Another visit from my in laws story. My MIL placed a son for adoption when she was 21, told no one, went on with her life, married my FIL, had 4 other children. After she died, her children discovered the existence of the other brother, who had been in contact with her. Eventually all the siblings met and became close. My SIL purchased her parents house. We were all eating in the dining room when Jay's (brother who was placed for adoption) wife said, what would Dee (MIL) think if she knew we were all together in her dining room. The chandelier began to throb off and on, so much so I looked to see who was playing with the dimmer switch. No one. I said, I think she knows. It stopped. She knew indeed, and let us know also.
