Follow the Flow

Every wake up crabby?   I have and it’s annoying.

Even though you had a decent night’s rest the thoughts of lingering in bed just a little longer permeate the atmosphere.  You get up, stretch, start the mushroom coffee and ponder the inner sense of irritation.

So if you decide to follow the energy, you take a minute to check in with yourself as to what is bothering you, what’s the trigger, what’s the rub.

Today for me it was something simple.  It was a Valentine’s Day and there was no happy cards from anyone, no chocolate wrapped carefully from the local chocolatier and somehow the local flower shop delivery service zoomed by my house obviously forgetting the lovely flower bouquet I was expecting.

Oh well.  Then I remembered I actually love Valentine’s Day.  I already bought some 100% dark chocolate, one of my favorite plants was blooming, the sun was shining and my Cavalier wagged her tail in an extra friendly manner this morning.

And literally just like that I was able to slowly shift the inner annoyance to happy thoughts of gratitude and calm.  And decided I was I going to make my Valentine’s Day special.  How?  By not relying on someone else to make it a sweet day.

My thoughts drifted back to years when heart-shaped cards from someone I loved arrived in perfect timing at my door.  I keep those greeting cards as, for me, they’re a treasure to look back on, even thought at times it’s bittersweet.  Kind of like dark chocolate.

So today I make my own card and share it on one of my social media platforms.  I love to create, so today is just that sort of day to wish others a day of enjoyment, love, compassion and sweetness. And chocolate.   Giving to someone else always turns the door handle to a new room with a much more pleasant vibe.

Start where you’re are at and let the flow of that energy take you forward.  That’s how the energy changes and  if you’re willing it takes you somewhere special.

So today, I might even trudge onto the lake and make a big heart-shaped message in the snow.  Maybe.

So my thought for you today is follow the flow to your inner place of calm, joy, peace and sweetness.

Wishing you a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
