Radiance, Grand Creator!
Snow is falling! We will likely get a few inches, when this little storm wraps up later this morning. There’s a chance we’ll get enough snow to begin our snowshoe adventures at the Montshire Museum.
I am in limbo this morning, Dear One. On Saturday, my boss mentioned that he would probably be looking to cut hours today, if we got the storm that was predicted; and, he asked if I was interested in another day off. I told him I would definitely like that.
Rest – for my mind, body, and spirit, you know. And, last night we already knew Joy would have a snow day.
The difficult part for me is that, even right now, as I write, I still don’t officially know if I’ll be expected to work. So, I’m up early, writing, and I’ll soon begin getting ready to go to work.
I know that, as a teacher, my wife has gone through this many mornings, for a lot of winters.
There’s this part of me that’s thinking my boss will have me come in – maybe because he’s guessing the storm might motivate more traffic in the store, rather than decrease it; or, perhaps because other employees can’t make it in because of the road conditions.
I see where I’m uncomfortable with the not knowing. I’m frustrated – I want to plan, if I’ll have the day to my own. But, if I don’t get the call to stay home, it will frustrate me more, and feel like I’ve had that day taken away, if I’ve started to plan it as mine.
I will survive the not knowing. We never truly know.
So, I will finish up here, and then meditate.
A Prompt to consider:
Dear One, this is a great reminder for me, in how powerful my thoughts can alter my experience.
Normally, I would have just gone to bed and risen this morning moving toward getting ready and going to work. The only real difference today is the thought that I might get to stay home. Yet, with that thought, I am frustrated and reluctant to proceed.
This thought is not serving me.
I’m also aware how much I would prefer another day off. That is worthwhile information.
Dear One, can you spot any of your thoughts that are frustrating you and don’t serve you? Awareness can help quiet your mind around them.
Not knowing what day I will have doesn’t have to seem like a bad thing. It can be better than I imagine. Asking for help opening my heart to that possibility, My Dear Guides! Onward!
