Still-ness

Quote of the day:

Still... is when silence emerges and self stands clearly. MotherPie

Doing a blog stroll this morning I found at Ronni's place a still list - inspired by MotherPie.

And now I, too, am inspired to still-ness:

• Still loving Ada Mae
• Still not done uncovering how I tick, and writing about it
• Still glad I got all those degrees - my, what a journey that was!
• Still enjoying the tall oak tree outside my living room window
• Still doing the laundry, watering the plants, making the bed, cleaning the house
• Still proud of my beautiful, sensitive and talented son
• Still amazed at how still the early morning can be
• Still hoping for redemption
• Still grateful for the Jacobson family
• Still wanting to lose a lot of weight
• Still trying to get it right
• Still failing to get it right
• Still passionate about education and compassion
• Still working with teachers about relationships
• Still worried about child abuse
• Still wondering how comfort numbs us into apathy
• Still pleased that I live close to nature and the city all at the same time 
• Still wishing there could be peace in our hearts, between brothers, in the world
• Still thinking about politics, social justice, racism, feminism, socialism, and the kindness of strangers
• Still dressing in clothes that I am not sure I like so much
• Still cherishing my life partner, son, my friends in Israel, Europe, New Jersey, California, Philadelphia, Australia, Buffalo, South Africa, and especially the blogging community, and ...

... Still ... getting older ...

I really like this exercise which I saw at Ronni's site via Motherpie as well. Just wanted to drop by and say happy new year.

Thanks for a great post! I want to do a still list also. What an enjoyable way to start the 2008. I knew if I started to catch up on my blog reading I'd find something delightful.

Blessings,
Sharry
PS Love Salala!

Isn't it interesting to know (new or old) blog friends from still thinking. I love learning as you do and the view -- don't we all need good views?

My favorite of yours is that you are still trying to get it right. Aren't we all?????????

New Year Cheers...
