OPPORTUNITY

Good Morning!!!! It is cloudy and gray this morning; however, there is no snow. Ahhhh. In preparing to physically move next Saturday from one home environment to another, a thought occurred to me.

What is it about moving that creates people to utter - "UGH!!!!!" Perhaps, being forced to making long delayed decisions about what to do with stuff. Or, the energy it takes to simply make changes. There are phone calls to change utilities, and there are more and more of them. Years past it was electric, gas, water, phone, insurance. Those continue and add Internet access, and others I have likely missed this time around.

Within 12 months in 2006 and 2007, I moved three times. Now in 2009, I'm moving again. Yet, as I'm listening to K-Love this morning, and again, making decisions about "stuff" that managed to survive the last three moves, I find myself smiling, energized and happy. As, the decisions have become easier to make. The new home demonstrates that when darkness falls, such as occurred in 2007, that by taking steps each day to move forward, the clouds will float aside and the "sun" will shine, although the air outside is cloudy. The new location has so many advantages to where I am now.

Each day I continue to live GRATEFULLY for everything that occurs. Also, being aware that this minute right now is what is important, and the next one will be as it occurs.

Hey -- HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!. Thoughts about male bashing - perhaps, unfair and to some not deserved. Yet, a thought - is that women were oppressed for so long, and in some cultures it continues. Making changes and raising boundaries can be VERY LOUD before standards are established and life settles into a soft, loving pattern that is inclusive.

Back to focus on moving within the next few minutes.
Cheers!!!!! "Squeeze joy each minute....."
