Necessary Gifts, Day 6

What a busy day! With the holiday tomorrow and 9*ki readings needing to go out on Monday, I had more than enough to do. Oh to remember what it is like to be bored! I have noticed that I am more efficient when so many things arrive on my plate. I have the choice of meeting it all, head on, full force or to bury my head and procrastinate. I have selected to act like a steam roller, plowing my way through the piles around me, with a smile on my face I might add! I am actually amazed at what I have accomplished. I see all that I am able to do as a parallel of all that I give. In return I receive an abundance of energy to meet the demands of a very busy life right now! It also shows me what I want to create and to appreciate when things are moving more slowly!

This days gifts were necessary gifts. I had a cd that has been ready to go to a friend in Colorado. I have been meaning to pop it in the mail and I did that today. I also gave away three hair cuts!!!!! I am not a hair dresser at all but I am pretty crafty with clippers. Our sons, age 10 and 7 were getting quite shaggy. My dear friend will be taking our family pictures this weekend and I really want them to look sharp. They look so handsome with short hair! I also gave an unexpected cut to my husband. He is a perfectionist and prefers that a professional clips his locks. Fine with me. The challenge is that we live 60 miles round trip from his favorite hair stylist and since he hasn't been off of work in time for an appointment, he'd been living with shaggy hair (which drives him nuts!) I offered my time, try and I suppose you could say.............talent! The good news is, he staill has ears! No nicks and cuts and only one time told me what to do one time (progress!) These were not the gifts that I was planning to give today though they were necessary and appreciated!

In return, I am receving a lot of support. There are comments and sweet words daily, which are fabulous inspritations. Another gem I received today was the truth from my mum. She'd had another episode. Long story short, she finally admitted that she needs help and confirmed what I have known for many years.........she's denied, lied, and tried everything she could to cover up that she is an alcoholic. Perhaps today was a gift for her as well. To hear herself speak her own truth could be a powerful realization if she's ready to take it. If not, I suspect the gift will remain in its wrapping until she's ready to work with it.

Happy ThanksGIVING to all. May the spirit and joy of releasing love on every level about this season and permeate the entire universe!

Infinite Blessings,
