6/20/2009 Living with Nature"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." ~ Frank Lloyd Wright ~ I was very unsettled after the loss of the fawn in my yard. I hadn't witnessed it but as I walked through my backyard the following days I could feel the fear the fawn and mother who watched in the distance left behind. It took me a little time to realize that it wasn't my fear but the animals fear that I was feeling in my yard. I called the bear group in NJ http://www.savenjbears.com/Home.html and talked to various different people involved in the group to save the bear. I wasn't in a place in my mind to talk to these people. I was disturbed by what occurred in my yard. I know it happens, I have seen it on nature shows or in movies but in real life - NIMBY (not in my back yard). I talked to a total of 4 people within 2 days. I was overwhelmed at the time since my goal was to protect my dog who is about 6.5lbs and much smaller than a fawn. Everyone one seems to say the same thing that bears are timid animals and not likely to go after a person. I am not willing to test that idea. The last person I spoke to lives in the same area as I do in my lake community. I learned we have a pack of coyotes in the area. I knew the town next to my town had a problem with coyote so I am not surprised they have come into this area. So now we add them into the wild kingdom here in White Meadow Lake. Now that I have time to think and speculate my deer population seems to be thinner although the beer population is growing and other predator animals are also coming into the area. I recall one night several years ago pulling into my driveway between my neighbor's yard and my yard there had to be at least 30 deer. I haven't seen any large groups. If I see 10 in a group that would be a rare occurrence. So nature is taking it's course. ~Gypsy Photo below is from the Botanical Garden at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. 6/15/2009 Tribute to The Fawn This morning I was taking photos of this fawn that was resting under my swing in my backyard. It was lying there quietly under the swing. I didn't see the mother around in my yard. A short time later Bill took my dog out to the front yard so she wouldn't disturb the fawn. In the distance he could hear someone yelling "bear" and banging some pots. He rushed back into the house since we have had a lot of bear activity in my yard over the last few weeks. Looking out my bay window into the backyard where the fawn was a large black bear ran through, grabbing the deer and running through our backyards leaving my swing moving back and forth. We noticed the doe further back in my yard standing still and not moving. There was momma deer without her fawn. ~Gypsy 5/17/2009 The Fun Begins TodayI am still not completely packed. If fact I need to remove some stuff. I put too much in as usual. Its difficult to decide what I want to wear while there. Currently it is in the high 90's in Vegas. It is 48 degrees right now here in Jersey. It rained during the night and it is still cloudy. So I need to plan for chilly weather here prior to leaving and getting off the plane in very hot weather. Hopefully no delays on the plane today due to weather. There is so much I want to see while there. We are staying at Harrahs. I am looking forward to listening to the dueling piano show at our hotel. It is amazing each hotel is like a city within itself. The fun begins soon. Viva Las Vegas! ~Gypsy glitter-graphics.com 5/13/2009 Sunday is almost here! I am counting the days until I board the plane for Las Vegas. Vacation time is almost here! I have tickets to see Tom Jones next week. Besides the price of the trip for hotel and airfare which you can't beat right now for bargains, Tom Jones was in Vegas that week and that was the deciding factor. I wanted to see him last year but he was there the week before and the week after. I am still undecided what else to do. I do plan on trying the oxygen bars which I didn't try last year. They serve a frozen drink like a margarita, give a back massage and you get oxygen through a nasal cannula. I think it would be interesting to experience the effects of the oxygen which was about 5-6 liters. Last year I interviewed the person there over my concerns as a nurse. The person who worked there said that nurses argue the dangers and doctors come in have their treatments of a drink, oxygen and massage. This might be a daily treat. Actually I am thinking it might be good to adjust to the changes in altitude from the flight and being in Vegas compared to New Jersey. I am getting excited. So much to do before I leave! Party Time is almost here! Yeeeeea Hawwwww! 5/11/2009 Going in CirclesI go through days with no dreams and then I go through a phase with lots of dreams. I didn't get a chance to write about this dream. I was with my dad and was trying to get to the train station to get on the train.The train seemed to go around a lake but the station we needed to get on was on the other side of the lake. This train just seemed to circle the lake. The next thing that I remember was that we were on the train riding around the lake. We needed to get off but we needed to ride around the lake to get off the train. There seemed to be only one place to board and one place to get off the train. We just kept going in circles. Symbolically speaking in a circle there is no beginning there is no end. I appear to be on a journey, getting on the train and riding on the train. Seems more like my life right now. I am on some kind of journey but right now I am going in circles. There doesn't seem to be any turns at the moment, no doors to go through. I am riding the train of life waiting for the right station to get off at. It seems near although it is opposite of where I need to be. ~Gypsy 4/30/2009 doorsI stopped to see my parents the other day after I worked. My dad seemed to have gotten very thin even in the last few months he has lost a lot of weight. He looks so much older. Is that how we see our parents one day they look so young and the next they seem so old. He doesn't have much time here on this earth. His days are counted that I am sure of. I see so much death and dying in the hospital and its difficult to watch your family struggling with illness and eventually death. I don't know if I want to stay away or spend lots of time with them. It shouldn't really be a choice I suppose. I don't think I would handle his death well. I didn't work in the hospital as a nurse, today I was the labor representative. I struggle with the lost of one of my members a young women and whether I could have done more for her to save her job. She didn't try to make changes she needed in her life. Today her choice was termination or a forced resignation. It doesn't get any easier. But perhaps life will show her something she is missing. When she finally comes through the shock of her lost job, she will realize there is something greater out there for her. Maybe a new door will open. It is will a great venture for her. ~Gypsy 4/25/2009 Ocean I stood on the edge of the cliff and I jumped into the ocean. I seemed to know the area and the water was deep enough for me to jump. I jumped and plunged into the water. But I seemed not to go straight down but I seemed to be pulled through the water. I had my eyes closed and occasionally opened them but saw nothing but water around me. I was being pulled further and further out into the water. My movement was swift and I did not want to open my eyes. I felt something swim by me and worried that I would be surrounded by sharks. I wanted to see where the shore was so I could swim back but I couldn't or didn't want to open my eyes to see what was around me. I didn't know how far out I was in the ocean. I woke up wanting to stop the dream but I couldn't go back to sleep. This dream wouldn't leave my mind. ~Gypsy 4/20/2009 Silence![]() Actually Silence isn't a scary sound. I am hearing impaired and by the end of the day I actually look forward to the silence. I wear hearing aids in both ears and after wearing them for the entire day I look forward to the Silence. I can take my hearing aids off and the world becomes quieter. I do hear some with them off I just happen to miss words and sounds more often without the hearing aids. But I do look foward to the silence. It isn't scary for me. ~Gypsy 4/19/2009 Insanity"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." ~ Albert Einstein ~ ![]() I just finished watching a PBS show I had recorded a few weeks ago on my DVR called Journey To Greatness with Noah Banshea one of those shows that should be inspirational. I have reached a point in my life where I have heard or read the concepts of life. I have heard the words in these shows and they are very familiar but I seem to still have difficulty in changing the direction in my life. It's been years since I started this journey of discovery of myself and my life path. Sometimes I just don't feel I am any further on this path. Sometimes it feels I have been going backwards until I open my eyes and realize I have made some progress. I think the feeling of Insanity in a world where you are supposed to be sane best describes how I feel sometimes. "If we weren't all crazy, we would go insane."I wasn't overly excited over this lecture I watched. Banshea used a lot of quotes and from emails that I had received over the years which have been circulating around the world. He didn't say too much inspiring himself but recited many quotes including one of his own. He took stories and quotes from other sources and created his life of a lecturer. Years ago this kind of lecture would have set off bells in my head but it doesn't anymore. So why do I keep going back to watching these programs or buying books on the same themes. Insane huh? Am I already living my life utilizing these life concepts? Why do I continue to wonder what direction I am going in on my journey in life? I guess it's part of the insanity. ~Gypsy ~ Jimmy Buffett ~
