So I'm finding myself getting back to ME today.
Grief is a funny thing,
it comes in these gentle waves
(which I've found best not to resist)
and I'm surprised to find that what is really coming up for me
is gratitude,
not sadness.
I picked up Benji's ashes today.
They came in a little handmade oak box,
which is now sitting on the bookcase
in front of my vision board.
I have a vision for my life.
It includes
love,
peace,
abundance,
prosperity,
health,
loyal (well-behaved) animals,
honest, dear friends,
a strong, spiritual man,
delicious children,
a beautiful place to live,
and an abundance of
delicious food,
laughter,
interior design,
writing,
TV hosting,
and travel.
(to name a few)
And although this week has presented a great deal of loss,
I am aware of how blessed I truly am.
And am grateful
for the fact that I am living my way
into my vision,
right now, in real time, today.
Despite the challenges,
the loss,
the changes.
I have it really good.
Also on my vision board
is a photo of George Clooney,
in a bathing suit,
on a Chris Craft boat,
at his villa in Lake Como, Italy.
*Hello, Sugar Plum.Hey, a girl's gotta have vision.
