Back to work blues...............

This is the message of Christmas:

We are never alone." 
~ Taylor Caldwell (1900-1985), English novelist. 

Tuesday after a long holiday, I pull myself from bed.  I can feel the deep ache of tiredness in my bones.  There is a nip in the air and when I glance outside, the cool rain is falling consistently.  All I really want to do is go back to bed,

pull the warm cover up over my head and sleep most of the day.  Travel and emotional drain of rushing around, being with too many people and feeling the crave for a few minutes of savory alone time fill me.

I sit here, trying to pull something up from within to give me energy.  I drink warm coffee, watch the Mystery of the steam rising from my mug.  I savor the creamy taste of hazelnut and I sit and stare.

Time ticks,

seconds disappear,

and

the day moves forward.

In a few minutes, I will

feel the steam of a warm shower, dress in freshly laundered clothes and head into the world.

A new day dawning,

a new world rising,

my day of returning to the grind of the real world.

May I find gratitude

in knowing

my day will provide for my family,

my work will offer healing to the world,

my smile...

that each encounter holds the potential to change the day of a person,

my energy

can be shared,

my heart beat

can transmit love into the Universe

and

while I'm still tired....

perhaps...

looking at this rainy day

as a back to work blues melody isn't the best way to start it,

perhaps

framing it

as

a day

full of potentiality

a day whereby goodness and joy can come

is

a better way....

.

my day..

my life...

May I savor each moment and live it fully

and

 may the same be true for you...

Happy Tuesday after Christmas

and

blessings...

Be a Great Day!!!!

don't just have one.

hugs.
