Daily Reminder # 725

Well, I forgot about the Daily Reminder until very late today. Well, that's not quite true, I remembered and got distracted and forgot and remembered again and got distracted and so on.... As a result, I don't have a whole lot to say. One little sparrow visited the back door and a very tragic blue jay whose image I will spare you because it's just sad.  Angel continues to be on a naughty bender. Thing about her benders is she alternates being a little monster with being all huggy and angelic.  But she is on the hunt for trouble, which would not be so bad if she were not so good at either finding or creating it. So it goes. Keeps me yelling and laughing both.

I wasn't going to write about the whole "legitimate rape" brouhahah. The party that was participating with him in "redefining" rape last year is now horrified at such a concept. I could rant on and on, but I won't because the Republicans make me very cranky and I'm not even slightly balanced in my views at present... except to say that there are no degrees of rape. There are violent rapes and less physically violent rapes, but rape is inherently emotionally violent. I'll leave it at that, because I was planning - since it's so late - to only do some sparrows and some gratitude, but then I looked at my latest Neale Donald Walsch message from God and thought it was something pertinent for the friend for whom these reminders are written, so.....  I'll let it speak for itself.

On this day of your life, dear friend, 

I believe God wants you to know...

...that rushing around to fix everything, or to 

"get ready,"is not going to do you more good.

Move resolutely, but don't rush. There's a difference.

Rushing removes resolution, often replacing it with

panic or irrationality or, at best,

not well thought-out choices. 

So keep moving. Don't stop. But don't rush. 

Don't race around. Sure and steady 

gets you there every time.

You know exactly why you received this message.

Love, Your Friend....

Some things I'm grateful for today:  (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an attempt to trust the Universe's inherent abundance, to embrace my own worthiness (I choke typing that word still) to have abundance, and to make friends with my own inner creator and with the Creative Forces of the Universe).
