The Gypsy on Adventure

Overwhelmed

Last night after I came home from my massage there were three boxes from Missouri, but I was so tired I left them for today and went to bed...I got through two boxes today. I haven't opened the third yet. I was SO overwhelmed with happiness, joy, and sheer delight!

My dad packed up things my grandmother wanted me to have. I am SO excited! A box of baby doll nighties, gloves, purses, scarves, tatting, collars ... including a fox one! And some photos of her that were taken recently!  There was another piece of tatting that my Great-grandmother had made, it will match the one she gave me 13 years ago or so. I am so happy!

I was so overwhelmed all I could do was cry! When we talked the day she mailed it, she said she felt foolish because AFTER she mailed them she thought everything was crap! I had to tell her today that she was SO wrong! I love everything! Most of the items are over 30 years old...and I am in heaven! I am SO going to wear them! I am just so excited! I still have to take good photos, I was just to, overwhelmed tonight, of all the wonderful items! The weird thing...everything smells like my grandma's house...so strange to have it in my house so strong. It made me feel so much more close to her today! I needed that connection!

Here is the hand knitted collar with beading, Fox collar, scarves in beads, Tatting and the happy Gypsy girl!!!!

   

Oh Clapping Hands!

Ah, I just heard from my son and his wife...they made it to San Jose! Tomorrow I get to see them! I am happy!

Surprise!

Tonight was going to be my last massage from Julie the Divine! AND she surprised me with a gift! AFTER we talked about how hard a time I have this season not being able to give! But the best gift? She is most likely staying here for 6 more months at least part time! YEAH! So I will still have a massage once a month or so!

Look at her beautiful fleurs as well! 

Notes from the Universe

Haven't all the years you've spent being Santa Claus, Gypsy, been more fun than all the years you spent waiting for Santa Claus?

And not just for the joy you've helped place on your favorite faces, but for your ability to act instead of wait. Acting makes the suspense bearable. It gives you a starring role. Time passes more quickly. And best of all, it makes possible the dance of life as you network and mingle with other dancers.

It's the same for your dreams, Gypsy. Act, don't wait.

Happy Hallelujah, Santa Claus!
    The Universe
Just caring about one of our favorite faces, Gypsy.

Scary Scope!

Today is a good day to take out old projects that you never quite finished and get them done, Gypsy. Metaphysically speaking, it's hard to attain success with newer projects as long as the old ones are still sitting around. This might not be as much work as it seems. Remember that completing these projects could mean nothing more strenuous than looking them over and determining that they no longer have any value. Go to it!

Note from the Universe & Silly Scope

The one thing all famous authors, world class athletes, business tycoons, singers, actors, and celebrated achievers in any field have in common, Gypsy, is that they all began their journeys when they were none of these things.

Yet still, they began their journeys.

You are so poised for greatness,

Let's charge into the New Year together, Gypsy, with friends, camaraderie, and a message that will give you wings!

Quotes of the Day

Be like a headland of rock on which
the waves break incessantly;
but it stands fast and around it the
seething of the waters sink to rest
~Marcus Aurelius

Sit in reverie, and watch the changing
color of the waves that break
upon the idle seashore of the mind
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Dizzy with Delight!
