I had a dream!!!!

I was riding a male elephant in a precession with about 5 other elephant. I gave the elephant I was to ride on, some leaves, and he picked me up very gently and carefully and placed my on his back, as he knew that I was pregnant and needed to be treated with care. I rode on his back with the crowd cheering on either side and then came to a house where I was taken off the elephant by the matriarch of the group and placed very gently on the ground at the front door…..when I was reaching out to open the door I woke up!!! But the way the elephants treated me has stayed with me…so I decided to look up what the meaning of elephants.
 As a dream animal, elephants come into our dreams it is a message that we are able to deal with any obstacle we are faced with at this time.
 Dream elephants represent power, sovereignty, stability, and stead-fastness.
 If you dream that you are riding an elephant this suggests you have a tendency to be the leader of the family, and others are heavily depending on you.
 We gather more symbolic meaning of elephant by observing it in nature. Specifically, the elephant is considered a symbol of responsibility because it takes great care and responsibility of its offspring as well as their elders.
 The elephant also has immense determination and loyalty - always standing up for others and always defending members of the group in its natural habitat.
• Elephants also express advanced sensitivity and social connection, particularly during time of death - they travel to a specific place upon their death - fulfilling personal responsibility - even at the end of their days.
• To dream of riding an elephant, denotes that you will possess wealth of the most solid character, and honours which you will wear with dignity. You will rule absolutely in all lines of your business affairs and your word will be law in the home.
• To see many elephants, denotes tremendous prosperity.
• To dream of feeding one, denotes that you will elevate yourself in your community by your kindness to those occupying places below you.
Root Chakra: - Charges through blockages. Protects. Remembers. Loves closeness. Social. Effective. Animals message I provide
Symbolic elephant meaning deals primarily with strength, honour, stability and patience, among other attributes.
To the Hindu way of thought, the elephant is found in the form of Ganesha who is the god of luck, fortune, protection and is a blessing upon all new projects. Ganesha in all his magnificently vibrant elephant glory, is intent on bulldozing obstacles on your behalf (funnily, male elephants are termed "bulls").
In many western cultures, the elephant meaning pertains to:
• Reliability
• Dignity
• Power
• Royalty
• Pride
In Christian symbolism the elephant is an icon of temperance, patience, and chastity.
As a Chinese symbol, the elephant is considered a symbol of:
• happiness
• longevity
• good luck
Some Asian cultures also believe the elephant is a cosmic creature, and carries the world upon its back (much like the tortoise does in some tribal Native American myths).

Eat, Pray, Love

If you haven't read it....read it

the book is called, Eat, Pray, Love and it's by Elizabeth Gilbert.....and it's a must read....

Elizabeth goes from a very bad divorce...to Italy to eat her body well...then to India to pray her soul well...then to Indonesia to love herself back to life!!!

I have to say that i have loved this book enormously....the part where she was in India to learn to find God...was an eye opener to me.....

We are "God", or "Divine" or the "Goddess" whatever you wish to call it....

To find "God"...is to love yourself warts and all....

To find "God" is to love yourself unconditionally.....

To find "God" is to let love rule your heart....

To find "God" is to let love rule your heart and rule your head......

Each day i am trying to say that i love myself...

Each day i look at the life i have and try to give thanks...

Each day i look at my kids and tell them that i love them....

Each day i look at my hubby and give thanks for the wonderful man that he is...

Each day i will give thanks that i have all that i need to live..and then more...

Each day i will give thanks for the wonderful friends that i have in my life....

Each day i will give thanks for the wonderful family i have both here in Australia and England....

Each day i will give thanks to be alive....

Blessed Be

All well

I am back in the land of the living....kind of...

My operation to fix the downstairs pumping went well..now I'm just very sore and tired...

I have slept most of today and have only just gotten up @ 4pm....criminal!!!!

Have been told that i cant lift anything over a kilo for the next 6 weeks...what that!!! how may i ask do you manage that one!!!

Was told even a full kettle of water is over a kilo...

But will take all the advice given as my dear sister said..."you don't want to go back to get it re-fixed"

no way....bad enough first time round!!!

So will be coming up with new and novel ideas on how to do things...like the

washing....leave for the washing fairies!!!

Shopping....leave it for shopping fairy (hubby)

vacuuming....leave it for the kids!! yes that's right they both love to use the swivel sweeper...so let them i say!!!

Gone and done it

I've booked tickets of myself and the kids to fly to the UK in nov.....

yes that's right just the kids and I...

Actually it's just like the King and I...or i should say Kings and I..hehehe

Me and two kids under 5...hmmm...interesting....oh well looks like Mum will be their entrainment for the trip...

third time lucky

We went and brought another fish...so watch this space to see if i have more luck with this one!!!

You know the funny thing...Bear's and mine were to two fish that died..and we wanted them...Dollygirl's and Hubby's fish are still going strong and one didn't want a fish (hubby) and the other is not really aware of what a fish is (dollygirl)....

strange i said

And then there were 2

another of our goldfish has died...mine....it says in Feng Shui that when a fish of yours dies that they have taken on your bad karma...hmm..what bad karma was i going to get i wonder!!!!

Poor wee fishy had an problem with her swim bladder and spent the last few hours of her life swimming side ways.....new way to look at the world i suppose...

Not sure if i'm going to replace her or not...don't seem to have much luck with goldfish!!!

Sad Days

We have a funeral to go to on Thursday.....Hubby's Mamma (grandma) died on Friday she was almost 94 so had a good life...but she could have had a few more but for a issue with the nursing home she was in. She had fallen and broke her hip so they had to put a plate and screws into her hip....she said to her youngest son that after this she had no wish to go on....as she fear that she was not going to be able to walk freely again.....she was not even supposed to be getting up on her own anymore....but there was no-one there to help her!!!!

I never really knew her that well but she was a grand old lady, she had had a hard life but a good one, and her sponge cake was to die for.

Rest in peace Joan

I'm Back!!!!

Well I'm back...computer all fixed...

Seems that we got a virus and our computer was corrupted...so a new hard drive we were given.....

Nothing like the old one...

Cant find a thing....

Happy that computer fix it guys took an image of our old hard drive and gave that back to us....

So no photo's were lost....

Makes you realise that in this wonderful digital world we live in...if we could not use the Internet, or access a computer...alot of us would be lost...

I mean who has any encyclopedia in the house? or reference books? i wonder if we have become way too reliant on the World Wide Web that knowledge that used to be passed down in a traditional way has been lost?

I remember my elders sitting down and talking, telling stories, all of which had a moral or a lesson in them in some shape or form...that seems to been put by the way side.....

Don't you think so?

Blessed Be
Jewell

computer stuffed

our computer is stuffed bloging from my new phone!

Weeks gone by

It would seem the last couple of weeks have passed me by.....i have been rather sick with a chest infection that really did knock me for six, got given antibiotics that made me very sick and then Olivia got sick..and is now only getting better, with her temp now normal, after being up to 39.6 at one stage...so a trip to hospital, GP after hours was the result....but no antibiotics for her...just let her body work it out????

phew.....Bear now has a bad cough and Hubby again the only healthy one amongst us..

On the silver cloud side...my website is working well, have had a few enquiries so far, so that's good...

So no Yule logs to show you as household not been up to it, or should say i haven't been up to it :-)

So happy Yule everyone......yule logs next year!!!!

3 years today...where has the time gone

Today is the 3rd anniversary of my Dads passing...and I'm wondering where the time has gone?

Bear was only 9 months old when his Papa passed, and we took the 24 hour trip back to the UK...and although he was a great baby on the flight and overseas....the trip was a very hard one...

DollyGirl wasn't even a thought at this stage....I was not ever going back for another go....well i did and i have to say i am so very glad i did as my daughter is so beautiful, loving, funny and a really little ratbag!!!!

She has brought about some very positive changes in my life and our families life...

so all things happen for a reason...

To my wonderful Dad,

Thank you for the lessons that you taught me,
Thank you for letting me make my own mistake,
Thank you for being there to help pick up the pieces
Thank you for being my horse all those years ago when i was only 5...now I'm the horse...and boy is it hard on your knees
Thank you for the wonderful dolls house you made us...we had hours of fun with that
Thank you for letting spend all that time just watching you in the garage....
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for being proud of me
Thank you for telling me

Dear Dad i miss you everyday, but i am always grateful for the time i had with you and will treasure it always

Your loving daughter xxxx
