Me and Her Shadow

Sunday morning thoughts

"When I find myself on times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, 'Let it be.'"

Every day I make a choice to be happy. It is up to me to find and make my own joy and contentment. It is up to me to see the good in other people. Attitude is everything.

" And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was greater than the risk to blossom."

"And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.""

Prayer for the day

Blessed be the morn for me and mine. Blessed be the day for me and mine.
Blessed be the night for me and mine.

Epiphany ...

There is a reason I am drawn to the sunflower and why I have one tattooed on my back. I believe in the dawn of a new day and that the sun always rises somewhere even if there are clouds over my head. I look for that light. I have unshakable faith in it. Does that mean I never get the blues? Absolutely not. I shed many tears. My tears help me acknowledge a troubled situation and move on to the solution. And there is always a solution even if it is only to survive what is happening. Sometimes we find ourselves to be solutions to others' problems on down the road due to our experience. We can feel empathy and show compassion and let them see we made it through. We can use that 20/20 hindsight to help them deal with their situations. I believe we are here to look for the love and light in this world and to be lights for others.
Lately I have been letting worry and frustration get the better of me. I have been focusing on the problem instead of looking for the solution. I have let doubt and weariness cast a shadow over my spirit. I don't like it. I know better. I have such joy and so many blessings in my life. There is no excuse for falling into the trap of being discouraged over a bump in the path when the rest of the path is smooth or crying over a detour in your journey when you know damn well the way back to the main road is just ahead. There is no excuse for focusing on another person's shortcomings when almost everyone's virtues outnumber his or her vices. And for  those who are lacking in virtue, let their vices be an example to you of what you do not want to emulate. None of us are perfect. We were not meant to be.
I have knowledge and experience to share. I have love and understanding to give. I have an open heart and an open mind. I am a blessed woman. I am a child of Spirit. And the sun is shining in my face.

What I really want...what I really need...

It's amazing when you discover that what you really want is what you really need...that your wishes and desires are good for you. Sometimes you get just what you want and exactly what you need.
