Most everything has a story behind it, waiting to be told. Most will remain unheard, but for those willing to listen, read, watch or dig deeper into the facts, there is always something to be learned. Your story could have positive effects on others and inspire them in their own story.

Twenty years ago we decorated a small fir tree at the edge of the orchard and placed some fake presents in the wagon. People would come by with their pets and take pictures. Now the tree has grown too large to decorate, though the memories remain, like they were still happening. Now is where we are.

The old wagon has been resting at the side of the orchard since we purchased the property over thirty years ago. It is my hope to have it restored someday before it rots away. I need help in doing so and have not had the funds to complete the work. It is time to change my thoughts from someday to now. People often do not realize the power of now in their minds.

The entrance to the Orchard is one of my favorite places to pause for a moment, take a deep breath of heart filled gratitude, and feel a silent connection to the Cosmos, especially when it has a soft cover of fresh snow. You can find a moment of silence anywhere you are by taking a deep breath and going inside yourself.

The snow-covered cabin waits patiently for spring, filled with dreams for the future inside. The land is quiet, except for the wind and people that may pass by on a hike or ski. It can be hard to wait for time to pass, and yet when we get there, it may seem like a moment. I think the key is to wait patiently with positive expectations.

During this holiday season and on into January, almost everywhere I look are reminders of both my past and present reasons to celebrate with heart filled gratitude. I realize not everyone feels the same way, but Nature can us a reason to feel connected.

I have learned to keep watch for affirmations, signs that let me know I am being watched over and guided along my soul’s path. Some of my signs are hearts like the ones I recently saw in the fresh snow; some are wildlife, pennies face up, and synchronicities like a conversation at the right time. Of course, everyone has affirmations if they are on the lookout for them.

Recently my wife purchased an inexpensive oversized ring full of bling. She also bought a very bright, blinking snowflake to hang in the window to brighten up the holiday season. For me that bling is filled with gratitude, like meeting someone for the first time on their way skiing on the Center’s trails. My heart is often filled with bling!!!!
