Counting my Blessings,
Woke with an old song in my head. Bing Crosby singing ‘when I’m worried and I can’t sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep, and I fall asleep counting my blessings.’ I do have much to be thankful for. I don’t drive as much as I used to. Yesterday while taking my friend to her Naturopath and then to the Medical Marijuana candy store, I was just a little drowsy while driving. Those little road turtles (round ceramic tiles) woke me up as I ran over them. I am thankful we have that on our roads and that I don’t have to drive much anymore.
Sometimes it is the little things that add up to make a great thing possible. I am thankful that my friend at last found a good night sleep. Having just walked away from my keyboard, a gentle reminder to write was given, that song is stuck in my head. I have given my word that I would be here for my friend in this time. Dealing with disease is a difficult thing. Pain robs you of sleep, the will to live, the joy of life, being able to cope with the everyday little parts of life. Her pain is in the background now and that is good. She knows I am here and she won’t travel this path alone.
I am thankful I have a good place to live, sleep and work. I enjoy my life. Going out with my son two or three times a week. Happy that he wants to spend time with me at the age of 26, I am blessed. There was a time when I counted how many models I knew, 46 at last count, and then it occurred to me that knowing goddesses was the real thing to be happy about. A goddess is a woman that knows who she is, what she wants, and doesn’t let anything hold her back. She has a beauty that shines from within and is easily visible in her smile and the grace she walks with. With age I have grown to appreciate more than just the boobs and hair. These days it takes so much more to catch my attention. Though it could be at my age I wonder why I walked into the room for some times!
I am blessed I know how to cook, bake and follow directions. Knowing my dog loves me and her son to be here with her makes me happy. Having met and loved some goddesses in my time I am very lucky. Learning from that, I know how important it is to communicate clearly with the ones you love. That they know you love them because, they are who they are. I am ready to love a goddess, with everything I am. Enjoying the perfect moments that come along now and then. Holding them in my spirit so I can return to those moments when the present moment has me at a loss. Letting those perfect moments lift me up when I don’t think I can go forward.
Wisdom it has been said is learning what works and what doesn’t by doing what is wrong till you find out how to do it right. At 55 YOA I have some wisdom, learned that listening and remembering is what makes a great friend, lover, and shaman. I am blessed.
When I think about this life I have it is a good one, Easy days, comfort, joy, and helping others. The life of service is not going to make me rich much to my disappointment. Though I do love what I do and how many can really say that? I am grateful my detractors aren’t very smart, and have not yet learned that months from now what people will remember is my name. The power I walk with is real, I don’t suffer fools, and a ready curse is often my response when attacked. My son says I would make a terrible president as I wouldn’t hesitate to push the nuke button. He is right of course, I often use a nuke when a hand grenade would do. I am a spiritual warrior, I know this, and in its own way it is a blessing to be the hand of Karma.
Hollywood calls me, I don’t have an agent and have been on TV. I love that! My will and intent are that I have my own TV show. I should probably refine that to number 1 TV show that makes me rich! My apprentices are powerful healers, blessings in their communities. I am a psychic reader, my clients usually ask me about love and relationships. I can sometimes see the people in my mind’s eye and when I describe them my clients are a bit freaked out that I can see them. Knowing the path of epic romance is a great thing as it brings clarity to those who don’t know it. They feel comforted by the information and the vision of what happens next. Blessings are a good thing.
As a spiritual healer I am gifted to have immediate results. Though not all can be healed this way many can and are. I am blessed to have many friends that put up with my crazy magical life. That know when I say a thing it is a true thing. Fairies are real. Angels are real. The president is not real, just thought I would add a laugh. What one of those three statements is false? Yes the last one.
I could go on counting my blessings as I haven’t even come close to counting them all. What are your blessings? I saw a picture of a woman painting with a paintbrush in her mouth as she had no hands. She inspired me. Whatever my problems are they could be so much worse. As I sit here at my computer, I know there are many who don’t have what I have. Even though everything I own could be put in a storage locker 10 ft. by 10 ft. and still have room left over. I have most of my health, and if I am lucky will live a long time.
May your blessings be many and your worries be few. May you be in heaven an hour before the evil one knows your dead. The Irish are so funny, I love their culture!
