MONDAY MEANDERINGS #6

Happy Monday, Friends. I don’t have a clever lead-in to this post, so I’ll just jump in.

It’s been a strange week for me. I had several days where I struggled to find the motivation to do anything beyond what was absolutely necessary. I made very little headway on my WIP and only made it onto the treadmill three times all week. I realize that life moves in cycles—phases and stages. We all have those days where we wonder why we bothered to get out of bed. I had a couple of those, but pushed through, because that’s what I know to do. Get up, suit up, and show up. I also know this too shall pass. It all does.

I hear stories of some authors giving up and pulling their books down and that breaks my heart. We must not let the chaos of the day defeat us. They cannot win! So, even though there are days when I struggle to put one foot in front of the other, it’s built into my DNA to keep trying. I also refuse to focus too much on things going on around me that I cannot change. It is an energy drain. That doesn’t mean I don’t care. It just means I realize what I can and cannot do about any of it. All I can do is seek a higher vibration focused on love, not fear or hate.

On the family front, my youngest granddaughter turned double digits, the big 10 on February 11th! We no longer have any little ones. They are all growing fast. Look at all those candles! And that is a piece of lemon cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory – her favorite!

Valentine’s Day is bittersweet for me. Rick always gave me the most thoughtful and wonderful gifts. So my girls keep up the tradition and they shower me with flowers and goodies.

I found this quote to be appropriate for me this week. It’s so true, even though it’s not always an easy thing to do.

As I got out my tarot deck, I was thinking that I had no idea what sort of message the cards would give me to share. Then before I could even shuffle the cards, this one jumped out of the deck. So, here it is.

In a nutshell, this card represents pain and or loss. But it also encourages us to embrace and acknowledge heartbreaking truths and the pain surrounding them. This may be related to a current situation or something in the past that is impacting present circumstances. Accept your emotions with compassion and take the opportunity to release and heal.

I know that everyday can’t be rainbows and sunshine. That’s not the way life is designed. So, it’s up to us as to how we respond to whatever life throws at us each day.

I sincerely hope you have a great week ahead. If you are experiencing pain, I pray that you find a way to release it. And I’m hoping for a more productive week and making some headway on my WIP!

Thank you for visiting!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
