Open Door Healing

I had to make a quick stop at Target for some hamburger buns and the flowers were $5.00 and I was in need of a lift. I had made a doctor’s appointment for my mom’s foot for 3:15. She told me last week her left foot was really hurting and I looked at it, and I don’t know if it is a callus or a bone protuding and wanted it looked at as soon as possible, especially before this holiday weekend and also having to head out of town for my aunt’s memorial. I left the house at 2pm, my mother lives about 35-40 minutes away depending on traffic, and the foot doctor is about 20 minutes from her place. Just as I was leaving, the doctor’s office called and asked if we could be there by 3pm as the doctor had been called in early for surgery. I told the receptionest I would try my best, and that if we didn’t make it, we would just reschedule. When I drove onto the main freeway to her house that is currently being worked on, there had been an accident and traffic was backed up for miles. There was no way I was even going to make it to mom’s by 3pm let alone the doctor’s. I called the doctor’s office to explain and reschedule for Wednesday morning and then called mom and told her the situation and that I was going to take the first exit I could and head back home. This is how my life has been this year. Redirects. Plans falling through. I am so used to things going my way and these days, well, not so much. I was supposed to be in Colorado last week for a 4 day mini vacation, but had to cancel because that is when my aunt’s memorial was scheduled. So I canceled. Then her memorial was moved to this week. I’m getting used to it, the plans falling through. But, I have noticed an after effect of it, I am having a hard time making decisions now. I never used to. It took me way longer than it should have to pick a hotel in Dallas for this week’s trip. When Hubby and mine’s Colorado plans fell through, I thought it would be awesome to go to Montana the 2nd week of August to watch the Perseid meteor shower. One can see so many more stars there than here where I live in Texas. But, something keeps telling me not to, that something will happen that will change my plans. I’ve learned to listen to that voice. I am also of the sense that there is a reason I didn’t make it to Colorado, or to the doctor’s office yesterday. I always try to spin it that my angels were watching over me and kept me from being involved in something that might not have been good for me. I know, a little Pollyanna, but then I have always been that way. Did the flowers work? Yes, they look beautiful in my kitchen sink window and a good reminder that the Universe always has my back. Wishing you a day, month, year, life, where all your beautiful plans come true! Blessings.
