It was cold here again today. Not as cold as the past couple of days, but cold enough. It's 24 degrees as I type this. Better than the 12 last night or the 3 the night before. Any upward degree is a good degree. Beyond that it hasn't been my best day ever. Or my worst. Got a few nice pictures of Angel and one or two of Tara, so instead of writing about what I had planned to write about, I'll save that for tomorrow or the day after, I guess. Instead, maybe I'll share a Neale Donald Walsch message because it's a good one for all of us and I think the friend for whom I write these reminders might need to hear it right now. If you'd like to send prayers and good thoughts her way, I know she could use them. Big life changes. The Universe is really smart. Even if you don't know her name, your prayers will reach her and ease her journey forward. Now here's what Neale says God wants you to know....
On this day of your life, dear friend,
I believe God wants you to know...
...that you actually don't have to lie in it just because
you made your bed.
Somebody told you a falsehood if they told you that you
have to live with your past decisions, choices, and
actions. The past is past and has nothing to do with you.
It has nothing to do with Right Now.
Do not let anything from your past inhibit you in this
Present Moment. Start over. Start Fresh. Each day.
Each hour, if it serves you. Heck, each minute. Just
get going. Just do it. Just say it. With love. All else
will take care of itself.
will take care of itself.
Love, Your Friend....
Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an effort to teach myself that it's perfectly fine to want things - even big, fancy things - and to maybe persuade myself that I am worthy of happiness... or maybe an effort to persuade the Creative Forces of the Universe to help teach me that I am worthy of happiness and abundance. Anyway, I really wish those Creative Forces would get cracking on the cash and the clothes dryer. They did work their magic on the Bose speakers. How cool was that!)
