It’s So True…

For your consideration…

You just never know.That is today’s message.

For those of you who know me, you are probably thinking that this is about losing my husband, Bruce. It is just as hard to believe it happened as it is to believe it happened over a week ago. Certainly, this message could be about losing people we love and we should keep that in mind. But mostly this message is not about that.

When we get messages, there can be many meanings. Certainly, they differ from person to person. So we have to pay attention to what feels right. AND…we need to pay attention to the TONE of the message.

The tone of today’s message is very happy and upbeat. Think about these examples; You have placed a bet or you are entering a race, or you have thrown a coin in a fountain or off a bridge and made a wish, etc. When we do these things, we do them with HOPE and excitement.

These events seem like special ones but the reality is that all of life is like that. We just never know what is around the next corner, or what our next step will bring. We may not know but we have the power to bring the same HOPE and excitement to them.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Live life with HOPE and excitement.

What made me smile yesterday…

-People are truly over the Covid restrictions. Eastern Market in Detroit had more people than I have ever seen in 50 years.

-Lots of fun with Shannon and Stephanie. Shannon got the shrubs she needed. We all got plants for a garden. Lunch was good. And the wine store…as always…was an experience.

-Then we were off to another greenhouse only to find it is their last day for this part of the season…WHAT? But what we did get there was a great bargain.

-A get-together with friends.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
