2/12/07 A Bump in the Road
February is definitely a ”bump in the road” of life.
Sometimes when we begin to clear our consciousness and change our thinking, we stir up a big mess. (Think of the turkey pan after Thanksgiving dinner. There’s all this baked grease, so we fill the pan with hot soapy water and set it out to soak. Then we begin to scrape the pan, and boy, do we have a mess. However if we keep scrubbing, we will soon have a nice clean pan.)
This is where I am now.
Deep snow has made me housebound, a frozen pipe and water all over the floor has rendered me unable to work in the studio and the renovation/repair has made me have to cancel any personal plans and yoga that help to keep the depression at bay. For now I am pampering myself with the “simple things”; oils, the hottub, meditation, reading a good book, a fire in the fireplace and doing my affirmations. And, trying to keep the latest crisis from getting to me.
SOON I will be back on track with my twice weekly yoga, monthly garden club meetings, and an occasional personal day of fun. The mess will soon clear, the gallery will be clean and frshly painted - and this life will again be better than ever.
“All is well. Everything is a working out for my highest good. Out of this situation only good will come. I am safe.”
