The TEN things I LOVE on this FRIDAY!
1. The squirrel that got a smile out of me this morning. He was sitting in front of my truck eating…and he was going at it 90 to nothin’- I mean he didn’t even take a second to breathe… I looked at him and thought “I feel you man”- since I am known to eat like that…then I thought that maybe there is a good possibility I was a squirrel in a past life…that got the smile out of me.
2. How a broken heart is a heart that has loved in some capacity. Period. And when it comes down to it, that is something to be grateful for.
3. When I see feathers on the ground as I am walking somewhere. For some reason I see it as the Angels saying, “We are here…”.
4. How, when I went to eat pancakes this week I found I couldn’t even finish half of one…I thought to myself, how can it be that when I was little I could scarf down three and now I can’t even finish one? I then realized when I was five I wasn’t drinking quad shot mocha’s ten minutes before pancake time. Might have somethin’ to do with it?
5. My friends who held me up when I couldn’t stand this week…you know who you are and I love you. Thank you.
6. Compassion. If you don’t hold it for yourself and others? Your love and your faith is nothin’ but a scam. This week? I chose compassion~ strangely enough, not for another, but for me. That was a huge revelation for me this week. A 35 year coming revelation.
7. My nephew telling me how excited he is that “thanks” day is coming. So beautiful.
8. Lady Gaga’s new song “Bad Romance” and the artistically killer video…
9. That I am like the energizer bunny…I can take a lickin’ and keep on ticken’…I acknowledge the fighter in me.
10. Humility- not the kind religion shoves down throats- humility in the sense that when you experience something in life that causes great pain and exposes your weaknesses and wounds, it can be accepted with open arms -on bended knees, knowing that an opportunity has been presented to you to heal and be even better in the next moment. I cannot put into words the love I feel for a Universe that would be so loving as to give a chance to make beauty from ashes. THAT IS LOVE.
Happy Friday…
