Interestingly I find that I get sucked into the darker side of thinking through a situation when something happens. I sometimes find it hard to remember the good when the bad seems to be what is evoking a emotional reaction from me in the moment. It takes processing on my part to transition out of that position and to a position of the balancing light that makes all things worth the effort. This is something that I have had since being a child and something that I have worked on and continue to work on. Although I see improvements, most of the time it is like a knee jerk reaction..... transition and processing time is much less though as I grow.
Going through the most recent changes in my life, the loss of someone I love and the gaining of two incredible souls; I have found that the cycle started at a more positive place from the beginning. Almost like remembering that we have some choices in how we view or perceive the world in front of us and instead of reacting I have the power to set the course.
Staying in the place of light in this situation has reminded me that without the dark there is no light and all things are needed in our lives. So this momentary patch of transition, frustration and uncertainty has been put in our paths to create more light.
It is amazing how this process continues to unfold and I am able to recall the importance of love around me with the people I choose in my life. My coven sisters reached out on their own and bought a crib for one of the grandchildren just to show their love for me, my family and the process. It was like a smack in the face to remember that I am a very lucky person with lots of support, love and spirit working in my life.... even without my knowledge.
So in the year of 2009 (the year of the 9) coming to a close, endings are here and new phases emerge. I am excited to go into a new transitional phase remembering the beauty in my life and the greatness of the people around me. I am truly blessed.

Life is forever changing and growing to new places and what seems like the unattainable goals. In reality all goals are attainable but.they feel so far from grasp, so out of reach. This year has been the ongoing challenge of maintaining balance in a world that is so far beyond the concept of it. Right when things seem to even out, another swing of the pendulum puts things out of balance and only time will allow for the pendulum to slow.
Gratefully we are going into a new year in less than a month and this allows for new hope, new opportunities and renewed thoughts. I have been set on another adventure and I am grateful that I have the resources to follow through with what is needed of me and this family. Two pairs of eyes are added to the fold of the Blanton family and spirit will guide us all in meeting their needs.
So in concepts of balance it is not always as we think it will be. Maybe we are meant to deal with one side of the pendulum in order to help others avoid it. If this is correct then I happily will stand in to do what is asked of me and then some.
