For your consideration….
There is a flow to life. Intuitively we know it. We know when we are working against it. We feel the ease when we are working with it.
Our attention is being called to that flow today so that we remember it during “life’s detours”. When our best laid plans seem to go up in smoke, remember to go with the flow. We are not to get so hung up on what isn’t happening that we miss what is. What is this new detour offering us? Remember that everything happens in Divine Timing. We will be exactly where we need to be when we need to be there.
We are also reminded that we too can and are encouraged to add little detours to our journey. How many times have we seen something beautiful or an interesting place we wanted to visit only to blow right past it on the interstate? We can and should allow ourselves the detour to wallow in beauty or wander around that new place. There was a reason it called out to us.
Yes, we are to pursue our life’s journey. But it is not a race, it is a meandering journey full of wonder, surprises and little unexpected gifts. Be open to its flow. That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……
-Meditate/pray. Feel the natural flow of your breath. Relax into its peace.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Journal what you are grateful for. What unexpected gift did you receive today?
What made me smile yesterday……
-Sunshine at recess.
-A couple of little TJ Maxx finds.
-A good book…. finished.
-A surprise call from Jody.
-Friends reunited.
-The smiling picture of Nick on Facebook. Talk about detours!
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Chris
