I was laying there this morning and Yeti was patting my head like he normally does. It’s his way of saying, “Mom, I’m hungry.” It’s unusual for me to wake up without smiling because he greets me this same way every day. I gave my goofy boy a kiss and realized I could hear birds out my window. It was Spring! They were singing something fierce. I couldn’t help but to lay there and listen and wonder what the heck they were saying.
I normally get up, make coffee, feed the mutts and sit by the open back door while I look at the sky and do what’s called “Grateful.” I think of 10 things I’m grateful for, and I have a talk with the big man. The first thing I talked about this morning was that it’s almost April and I’m still strong. I haven’t waivered a single time. Longest stretch in my life and I know it’s because of a chat I had with him in December. I know he heard me. He gifted me with a strength I previously did not possess. It’s exactly what I asked for. This was my miracle.
With that gift comes others.
I got invited to a birthday party Saturday. I hadn’t seen quite a few of the party goers since I moved here. Normally I stay away from crowds but Saturday afternoon as I was getting ready I convinced myself that these kinds of fears can’t control me anymore. I missed out a great number of things over the last few years because my lack of self-esteem controlled every single thing I did. No more. I WENT. Sometimes you just have to go stare things in the face and sometimes by magic – you realize how ridiculous you’ve been.
I get in my car to run an errand, and there’s space between my belly and the steering wheel. I’m screaming in my car at the steering wheel! I wonder if someone got that on Youtube today. It’s posted somewhere I know it.
I had a little knot on my back, and I thought maybe I slept on it wrong. I went to the bathroom, pulled up my shirt and tried to bend just a certain way so that I could see it. “Oh there it is”…… “What the heck is that”? As I looked closer, I realized it was my spine bone. I could feel my spine!
My energy levels: My brain is moving 100 miles an hour. New ideas, business improvements, places I want to go, books I want to read, things I want to do. I want to go plant flowers, work in the yard, walk the dogs! I spend hours at night coming up with new ideas for patterns…….the brain rush doesn’t stop. Like John Travolta in Phenomenon. Just like that.
