Snowy, quiet, peaceful day. Yet my mind seems to want to turn this day into a marathon of a 'To do list'. I opened up my computer to organize my schedule, and determine which tasks were of greater priority to accomplish today. Yet, I found myself wandering here, to my blog spot. I enjoy getting in touch with what's really important. The name of my blog is 'Discovering the Divine', and that's what I want to do today. Have as many moments of love and gratitude that I can today. So, yes, I have a mountain of 'To Do's'.
-Housework of course (never ending),
-10km run (even though its blizzarding),
-buy snowpants for Bodhi (we've lost his other pair),
-get a sympathy card & make dinner for my Gramma (she put her dog down yesterday),
-update my running plan so I can organize babysitting,
-plan Bodhi's 4th birthday party,
-move pink couch into spare room, and blue couch to living room,
-go through Bodhi's old clothes and donate,
Looking at this, it really doesn't seem so bad. Really though, I all I WANT to do is lie in bed, eat popcorn and watch Cars 2 with my three-year-old. Big sigh, surrendering it all in love and faith. I can choose what experiences I want to have. I can 'DO' all of these things and be in resistance, or I can go with the love flow, and be grateful for the opportunity I have to do these things. If I look at my life from someone else's perspective, these are all 'QUALITY ISSUES'. ie. Good problems to have. ie.
- I have a house to clean
- I am healthy enough to run 10km, and I have the heart to do it in a blizzard
- I have the resources to buy another pair of snowpants
- My Gramma is 75 and still alive to love and nurture
- I have a babysitter, and a computer/iphone to help me organize my running plan
- Gosh, my boy is turning 4 years old, he's healthy, smart, friendly, sweet-hearted, and brings joy to my life everyday, so planning his party is an opportunity to celebrate him!
- I have TWO couches to move! Abundance Abundance Abundance!
- Going through Bodhi's clothes is an opportunity to pay that abundance forward!
Ah, yes, I feel much better now about my 'To Do' list. I'm going to get right after it... just as soon as Cars 2 is done, and the popcorn is gone. My cuddles with Bodhi (yes we are cuddling as I'm typing this) are just to precious to give up. Love is so precious.
