Which translated, is...
Happy Love and Friendship Day!!!
We had plans to go dancing with friends tonight but I've had a flu bug that just won't quit and here I sit...for the past month.
Spider bite...flu...big head cold...and more flu. Usually, I don't air my complaints...outside of my family...too much...because I've been practicing attracting good things into my life and most of the time it works for me. I don't like to dwell on crap...negative stuff and it absolutely helps me - not to.
learned this technique from an awesome blog by Roben but need lots of practice |
It has been difficult for me to make art when I'm feeling this way. It's even harder to think good thoughts or focus on my desired outcome but thankfully, I've learned a lesson.
You see...I'm pretty unsympathetic to whiners and complainers.
from my art journal |
If someone starts in with....blah, blah, blah...I usually jump in with a pep talk.
I really don't want to hear it. It affects me.
I'm kind of like a child who plugs their ears and and wiggles their tongue while saying laaalaaalaaaa when they don't want to hear something.
i will definitely go back and decorate these letters |
Anyway...I've been focusing on all the wrong things lately - until yesterday....when I remembered...
The point of power is in this moment.
It took a month to remember.
So - for the past 24 hours or so... I'm living each moment to the best of my ability and getting better by the second!
And...I promise to be more understanding the next time you need to get something off your chest (even though you might hear about the point of power).
And...I got some art done yesterday and today.
Whoop-eee!

I LOVE your hearts! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Sorry you've been feeling lousy and I hope you are on the mend. (I do the pep talk thing too, LOL.)

ReplyDeleteSorry you have been so unwell, what a bummer!..was it really caused by a spider bite? At least airing it online all your blogger friends can send you Good vibes...so here are some from me...Good~good~good~good~good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann! :) maybe I did want a little sympathy! The spider bite caused about 10 days of miserableness and then the rest of it was from my trips to the emergency room for injections of antiobiotics. I picked up whatever bugs were there...AND...your good vibrations are working because I AM FEELING GOOD today. Thank you very much!
