Open Door Healing

Usually while it brews, I am putting away dishes or some other chore, but this morning I woke up feeling like death warmed over, with no apparent reason except maybe the planetary alignment is wreaking havoc on my energy system. Well, that is some people’s opinion. I don’t know enough about that stuff to know, I just know I only had the bandwith to do one thing at a time this morning. So I watched my coffee brew. I then paid attention to putting my creamer in, then my whipped cream. And I took that first sip of the hot elixir that helps my body get motivated in the morning. Sometimes I get so caught up in my chores that by the time I get to my coffee, it is only luke warm. I need, no, would like to start paying more attention to what it is I am doing. Walking with purpose other than to get somewhere fast, paying attention to my body movements, why is today the day the knees do not want to work? There is a pressure system going on in the Gulf of Mexico right now, that may or may not make here to Texas, but my knees can feel it. I would have liked to call in sick today, but Grandma Summer Camp must go on. Only 16 more days. They wanted to play when they got here, so I am letting them blow off their steam before we sit at the kitchen table and do schoolwork. And I am enjoying the bit of alone time. Some days they can keep themselves occupied, other days it is Grandma this and Grandma that. When my kids were younger they would yell, “Mom! Mom!” all day long. I finally made a rule they could only say my name 3 times, so they better make it count. I can’t believe they actually did it. I haven’t been able to get my grandkids to follow that protocol. I will make it through this day, pop a couple of Tylenol and maybe have another cup of coffee, but we all know the second one never tastes as good as the first one. Why is that? Things that make you go hmmm…. Blessings.
