Feeling a bit "unsettled"...Not sure what is "coming down the road", and it doesn't feel good, not knowing at a conscious level what is my next step, what is mine to do - and I should do something to help shift what I anticipate is headed our way - for USA. Yes, taking time to meditate, to be in gratitude, and BE the Peace I want to see in my neighborhood, country and the world. are "givens". Remembering that even when things don't look good - or even horrible.... that things are likely working for our good and the best outcomes. Here's an example from my life. My husband had his left hip replaced in early October. He came home the following day, doing pretty well and then he fell - broke left femur. Required 3 hour surgery to wire his femur together with a plate, etc. Bottom line, besides the pain, he had to spend days in the hospital followed by 2 weeks in rebhab. He had excellent care, and was fully supported in helping retrain his muscles to work, to support his body weight, to help him learn how to move, with balance, to regain a sense of confidence. He would not have had that support and his recovery from hip replacement (without rehab that he received) would have resulted in more muscle loss, etc. So while the femur brake is painful and unfortunate - he gained a lot of benefits that he would not have had, had that not have happened. I'm also reminded that when I consciously think, "I don't know what is mine to do or where to go, or with whom I should have a conversation" ... I must stop and remember -- "There is a part of me that does KNOW!" Then I must take time to let go and let the answers come, to feel the inspiration, to feel confident, and take action if that is what I feel guided to do. Today I set an intention to finally rehang my large macrame (6 x 8 ft) outside my front door. That is its usual location and prior to the last hurricane it had to be taken down so it would not be damaged. Removing or hanging this large piece is a 2-person job. I knew it was up to me to figure out a way to hang it by myself, and I had to trust, to know that the Universe is always supporting me, conspiring on my benefit. I moved my feet, got out the 2 ladders that are necessary, put them into place, looked at the situation, took a breath and thought, maybe I could get someone to help. A neighbor's son often rides his bike around the block. He is a tall, strong looking guy. Maybe he would ride by and I could ask... And then the pool guy showed up. He was delighted to help. What a blessing. I trusted, did my part (got the ladders in position), had already given thanks that the macrame was happily hanging in its place and asked for help. Tomorrow I'll put the solar twinkly light throughout the macrame. Relief, joy, satisfaction. GRATITUDE for New Thought philosophy, for faith, the education, experiences and sharing of so many people. I hope that this post helps inspire and settles one's mind into the ONE Mind. Infinite Blessings, etc.
