The best things in life are FREE. All blessings are free! Peace, love, mercy, appreciation, forgiveness, family, friends, joy, happiness, hope, inspiration Etc.
I went to see a friend of mine yesterday. We hadn't seen each other in a long time. He moved back to Ottawa a while ago, but I've been busy.
Yesterday was just such a great day. Today has been a good day, too. I went to a barbeque today. Which I was early for. On my way there, I passed a couple who were strolling with their granddaughter in her stroller. I noticed that she dropped her hat, when I gave it back to them, they noticed that she had dropped something else (which wasn't far away) so I saw it and went to go get it for them. The grandfather came with me to get it.
He said, "We're not very good grandparents." It made me realize how quick people are to judge themselves. It's not their fault that they didn't notice. It was for me to notice so that I could be helpful. So I could contribute somehow.
When I got to the park, it was early and nobody from my group was there yet. So I walked around. I saw some plastic bags in the water. A lady saw me pick them out and thanked me for doing it. I didn't do it for anyone to thank me for it. I didn't even expect anyone to notice.
There was one in the middle of the water that I couldn't reach. I went to look for a long stick to pull it out with. As I was searching for such a stick, I saw a chipmunk, I talked to it. Asked it to help me find a stick to use. It scampered away. I looked in the direction it went and I found the perfect stick to use. Perfect length.
Yesterday, when I was at my friend's house we were sitting on the balcony and talking about things. About the ego and the spirit. The struggle between the two. About the universe, about energy, about the world, about reality, about life.
Things came to me. Like "To evoke joy, we must enjoy what we have, what we do, what we are." I told him about the affirmations that I started.
Anyway, what I wanted to tell you about was the ride home. I was thinking about how forgiveness is a blessing. I started thinking about the many blessings. I looked up, and out the window (on the bus) and I saw a sign. An actual sign. On the side of a building. There was one word on that sign. Only one word. "Blessings". It blew my mind! How often do we see a sign, an actual sign, that has the word on it... The very word we were JUST thinking of? What are the odds of that?
Alright, now that I told you about that... I'll tell you about my affirmation for today.
Wednesday: The ONLY things that stand between success and I are: Opportunities, Open doors, and Helpful laborers.
Today, I got an opportunity. Someone told me about a place that they volunteer at. I am thinking about volunteering there. If I invest my resources, they will have returns. I don't do it for the returns. I just know that it is ONE of the benefits. Things come into my awareness for reasons I do not know at the time, but eventually they start to make sense. Because things come together in ways that I never thought they would.
Today at the BBQ, the guy who told me about that opportunity, gave me a couple of books. One is crosswords and the other is word searches. The word search one is based on inspirational quotes. Which I thought was neat. I feel that there was a reason that I was given it. I was meant to read these quotes and be inspired by them. To share them and let them inspire others.
My ankle is feeling better now. I'm hoping that it'll feel even better before I go to work tonight. My knee is also feeling a bit better. I can't wait until they both feel better because I miss jogging and skipping. I lost so much weight from jogging and skipping. I don't know how much. I'm guessing at least 10 pounds, but maybe more. People are noticing that I lost weight. So it must be a significant amount to be noticeable.
I'm becoming so much more aware and awake than I used to be. Things I might have missed before are becoming more apparent to me. I see things, I notice them. It's like everything I notice, I am meant to see. Like I'm meant to take note of it. I'm learning to respond to these things. Like the opportunities. They are given to me to respond to them by taking them. Like the opportunity to volunteer. Even if it is once a week. I can still do that. I'm trying to go see my grandmother at least 3 times a week. To help her get ready for bed and have time with and for her. Which we both need.
I have a busy day ahead of me tomorrow. I got to go get my September bus pass right after work because I want to beat the rush at the end of the month and beginning of next month. I like getting things done early.
