DAY ONE
Today is day one of another 40 Day Plan. And it’s off to a rough start. You’d think that after 13 years, year 14 would be a breeze, but here I am at 9:09 pm creating this post for Day One of my 40 day commitment to post a blog for the next 40 days. I’m sleepy. I’ve been in a funk most of the day. I feel tired, and a five year old is in my bed complaining about hot feet instead of being sleep by now – but I’m committed.
I CAN DO THIS
I’ve committed to 40 posts inspired by the Relax, Listen and Trust Your Inner Guidance card deck created by the lovely and talented Barbara J. Faison. Each day I’ll pull a card, give it some thought, listen for guidance and share my thoughts here.
THE QUESTION
Today’s card is a question card and I tell you the universe has a great sense of humor.
The question is: What is ONE THING that will make me SMILE.
Right now, that one thing is the snoring from the five year old that just fell asleep two seconds ago. The next thing to make me smile is putting her in her own bed so I can stretch out in my big ass bed. Another thing that will make me smile is when I hit the publish button, satisfied that I’ve met my commitment for this day in spite of being in my “feelings”.
THE CHOICE
I’m feeling better now that I can answer that question I pulled early this morning. And it wasn’t something I had to go out and buy. And if this little one wasn’t sleep, I still believe that I’d feel happy because I am doing one thing that I love and that is writing.
And yes Day One got off to a rocky start, but that’s only one day out of forty, and it’s time to rest my eyes. But I can’t end this without saying how GRATEFUL I AM, for friends like Barbara Faison who inspires us to live life better. GRATEFUL for a family that loves me even when they don’t understand my choices. GRATEFUL for friends that love me unconditionally. And GRATEFUL to be a light seeking, Universe loving CREATOR. And that is all!
TWO THINGS!!!
1) I love this song when I’m triggered. Too bad I didn’t remember this earlier in the day.
2) Check out Barbara Faison online for you CARD DECK. (you’re welcome)
