Between the worlds…..

morning ritual

As I light this candle, I give gratitude for this new day.
And the gift of grace that makes my world anew.
May the fire of enthusiasm and the light of clarity flow now through my being.
Thus I set my mind and hear on a life of purpose and blessing.

She’s not really a puppy any more, but she looks and acts like one.  I have a yorkie.  She never made that color change, though, that puppies do as they enter adult hood from having lots of black to being mostly light brown or gray.  She’ll never be a show dog, but that’s fine.  She’s top dog to me!  I’m one of those pet owners who, if we had one, would be walking around the pet store, buying pet supplies, with my yorkie in my cart.  She’s like one of my kids.  Other shoppers with normal sized dogs, who would make a one bit snack of my yorkie, would be laughing at the crazy woman and her yappy little dog.  She has clothes, she has a basketful of toys, her kennel with her soft little bed that she adores.  She’s the best dog in the world and I wouldn’t trade her for all the retrievers in suburbia.

I’m tired of the cold weather.  I want warmth and sunshine.  I want to be able to walk around the neighborhood for exercise.  I need to exercise BADLY.  I look like Orka the Whale.  I’m not kidding.  If I don’t do something, my poor legs will give out under the weight that is me.  I’ve been thinking about treadmills and exercise bikes to get me through until the spring thaw.  I wonder, does anyone have a recommendation?  I’d like a good one that I don’t have to fight with, especially in a treadmill.  I want it to move smoothly.  I’m going out shopping in a bit.  I hope to find a decent one I can afford.

I’m there again.  Wanting to leave.  Wanting to travel.  To see what’s out there.  I’d love to take a trip outside the country.  Mexico.  Spain.  France.  Anywhere but here in Indiana.  I wouldn’t know how to even begin. I sit here at my newly invented work station and watch the snow fall from the double windows in what is the dining area of my kitchen but now serves as half dining area, half work station.  It only makes me want to leave this town more.  Do I need international travel insurance to be sure I’m safe and covered?  Probably.  I need a travel agent.  I need to learn as much about my destination as possible.  I guess the first step is to choose where to go.  Should I start by traveling alone in the states first?  Probably wouldnt’ be a bad idea.  I will start there. 

Don’t have a card draw for today.  I need to go back through the other posts and write down how those cards influenced my day’s energy.  I really was suprised.  Got an opportunity today to do with Wilmington NC real estate .  As much as I’d love to relocate, I’m not sure that’s the place, or that this is the time to be investing in real estate.  Actually, I’m pretty certain I’d rather go much farther south.  I’ll give it more thought as the time approaches.  One thing for certain, there will be waterfront very near by.
