Commitment Honored - Ending 2014 --Beginning 2015
So, it's Christmas Eve and I accomplished my self set goals plus threw in an extra 3 hours of duty. It was snowing hard and the skies were dark at 4p.m. ..but I was off to accomplish a commitment I made to friends down the road. Said I'd feed their cat and after all the cat knows Auntie...Kitty here I come....Usually the first day mom and dad are gone I get snubbed for a bit, he's takes out his frustrations with humans on me as expected.
So, I was driving down the road feeling
mighty spiritual. I had just finished reading some uplifting
material and I was being so grateful for this existence and how lucky
I was. I was considering 2015 being a great year as this one as
been...but I wanted to do better with this vessel we call a body. I
want to take better care of it...after all I am in good health and at
decent weight but I could do better..I can fix it. Believe in Great
Health and Great Control. After all it's fleshy and pliable...I can
fix it.....whatever might be wrong...I'm feeling empowered ….....then
it occurred to me....the planet is alive too...fleshy and pliable
….so......we can fix it.....whatever might be wrong....even with
thriving human ignorance. We can fix it.
So I arrive at my destination after
this incredible conversation I just had with myself. I get out in the
pouring rain, black vest, black hoodie, dark jeans and I struggle to
open the door. I tried 10 times. The roof rain water is pouring on me
and my hoodie and sweatshirt are soaking wet. Didn't know ya had to
be a rocket scientist to open a door.
I crawl back into my car, text the owners, ooops...I was in the wrong lock (note to self, use lower lock)....mind you I have not had any holiday libations yet.....I run back to the door....now by this time Kitty is frightened someones trying to break in...black hoodie and all. By the time I get inside kitty is in hiding for his life, he knows for sure it was a burglar who just finally busted in....Couldn't coax him out....So I scooped out two large coated lumps from his box, gave fresh food and waited, …...and waited.....and waited......he was still protecting his life in the darkness under the bed.....”Auntie didn't mean to scare you....come here”...Not.

I ate peanuts.....chocolate, cheez-its
and a candy bar. I drove home saying ,...”yeah right, I'll start
fixing that vessel tomorrow and maybe later on we can work on the
planet thing”.
Hope your 2015 is spiritually
uplifting.
Enjoy your life ....it's the
best.
