Sooo today..
Is this the beginning of a new chapter. I’ve no feelings. Like none. Been betrayed and left. Yet the only feeling is freedom. 🤔 is it goodness? Is it just today? I hope it lasts.

A legend
So there’s this Aztec legend.
The legend is of course one of love. The love story of two young Aztecs, Xóchitl and Huitzilin.
Starts from when they are little children. They spent all their spare time together playing. As they grew older they hiked to the top a close by mountain. There they would offer flowers to the sun god Tonatiuh. Here they swore to each other that their love would last forever.
War broke out and Huitzilin was killed. When Xóchitl found out, she felt as if her world was falling apart. She took one last hike to the top of their mountain and asked the sun god to somehow join her to her love.
A ray of sunlight gently touched her cheek. Turning her into a beautiful fiery flower. A cempasuchil. (Marigold) just then a hummingbird gently touched the center of the flower. The hummingbird being Huitzilin. The flower opened its petals and filled the air with it’s beautiful and mysterious scent. They will always be together. At least as long as there are marigolds and hummingbirds.
So someone close to me had read about this legend and says, it’s so Mexican to love someone even in death. We are so dark… lol
However love is love and sometimes we’ve really no choice in the matter. The heart wants what the soul determines is a match. Tread lightly in making someone care for you.. they only need their one..
Peace my loves

It’s so funny
It’s funny how when you’re in the midst of loss or just feeling sad how you don’t understand that life just goes on…
But once on the other side it’s like an aha moment. It’s so nice that life goes on. The weight is lighter and new replaces the old.
Hopefully the lesson is learned and on we go. So many little sayings like live and learn, and some people come into your life to stay or to teach you a lesson.
We are constantly learning … life is short and every moment a precious gift. Sadly it can’t always go how you would like but maybe that too is a gift.
We all need someone to love and to hold
We all need shelter to keep us from the cold
We all need laughter when life gets hard
We all need someone to love us for who we are
We all need someone to love and to hold
Ain’t that the truth..

Leaving?
Everything beautiful is ruined eventually… my thoughts on this are maybe, not that my opinion is if any importance… well maybe it is, since this is my blog 😆. I think It can be ruined if people are on different pages. Or if they forget to read each other’s pages.
Some connections are not that easy to sever… if they are true that is…I think there really is that one connection, that one red string of fate.
The Universe is always sending us messages. We’ve all but to listen..
Love is the desire we have to find our other half, in order to become whole, then again Plato also said Love is a serious “mental” disease… I agree, maybe a little pain in the interim is the price we pay. I sure hope so anyway. Plato’s ultimate goal….happiness. I’m with him!

New day, New love
So yeah new day. Full of sunshine and hope. Going to the beach to hang out and catch some rays. Then later watch Los Lonely boys play some tunes. This is the kind of day that starts out with the promise of goodness!
Boxes be damned!
You thought I was gonna get all mushy about love I suppose. Ok so here it is… love is more of an illusion. Like a wisp of smoke sometimes you see it or feel it for a second then it tapers off and away.. then it begins again. But it’s enough of a reality to keep us hooked. Just read Rumi or Pablo Neruda or whoever else you choose. One of my favorite Spanish quotes is, de illusión también se vive. Meaning, Of hope also one lives. Figurative Translation: Life is not always about “getting there” or getting what you want, but also about the dreaming of getting there. Hopes and dreams are what keep us going. The translations are always so tricky. Of course this is just my take on it. Wanna tell me yours? By all means, please do.
So many different kinds of love though, I may have taken on more than I originally planned.
So like me…
I said new love today, because I already love today, the promise of being out with others and enjoying it all.
I hope your day is ridiculously amazing and full of love!
Had to come back to say Los Lonely Boys are not very Lonely.. ha! They rocked!!

So while I get ready to take the big plunge, I’ve decided to enjoy the beautiful California bike trails. Riding my my vintage road bike alone gives me this amazing feeling of freedom. I use Strava and try to push myself to get faster and just stronger.
So I take off this beautiful Saturday morning. AirPods in, some kicking ass music. I felt amazing. I was having the best ride. I even saw a beautiful mountain lion, a gorgeous deer jumped out in front of me and it was just going great. I know you feel it coming lol… so I had thought I’m going out 10 Miles back 10. I went out the 10 and the lion was so on my mind. I need a picture or no one will believe it. So on the way back, I see two young ladies on the trail and I slow down tell them to be careful since I saw a mountain lion earlier. One young lady, was so scared telling me we just saw it, it’s right over there and she points behind me. I turned around but I didn’t see it. She continues, saying we didn’t know what to do, and we were waiting for some bike riders to come along. Poor thing, she was so scared. She asked if I had ever heard of them attacking anyone in the area. I haven’t but I guess it’s possible, right? I felt no fear. Which now that I think of it maybe should have. Anyway, I told her to go ahead and I was going back to see if I could get a picture of the cat. I looked around a bit and never saw it. However time was passing and of course there are things to do. I left and after a few miles I felt my energy quickly depleting. Lowest gear barely moving kind of bad. I had water on me, that’s it. I usually pack a few dates, but not today. There was a small hill and that was it, nothing left! Left clip out, right clip, right clip? Uhh yeah that’s me on the ground. Dang it! I was done… I dragged my sorry self over out of the way and sat there. Damn that’s embarrassing. No one saw me fall but the ego took quite a hit. I sat there trying to rest up a bit so I could move on and get home. Ok, so like, I felt pain all over, but when I tried to get up my right wrist wasn’t having it. What the heck!? Is that really so painful? I got up using my left side thinking ah it can’t be that bad. Um, I can’t even get back on the bike!! My arm starts shaking and it finally registers in my head, you have messed up big time now. So I make the call of shame. Hello? Husband? I messed up my arm and can’t ride my bike back. I think I need a ride to the ER. His response? WHAT!? Lol yeah I need a ride if possible. So he drove to the closest spot he could and I walked about 4 miles to the truck. I’m shaking my head now, just thinking about it.
My inner voice kept telling me, stop, rest a little while. But, no, I had to hurry since it was getting late. Lesson learned the hard way. Plus I ruined that whole day. ER took all day, and a month of bike riding. Cast is now off, however wrist is weak and stiff. I will be riding that same bike tomorrow. Stay tuned lol.
You would think this would make me second guess my plans. However, it hasn’t I feel as though this is just something that’s happened and it’s over.
It’s like I’m in this place inside myself. Focused, and there’s this calm in my soul. Love and light emanate. Nothing seems to bother me, hurt me yes. My feelings can be hurt but when I look into myself, I find that place again, and all is well. My path is lit and here I go.
Blessings
