Five Percent Abnormal

Years ago, during a routine physical check-up, my former husband was told that there was something abnormal that showed up on his blood tests and that the doctor wanted to check further.

So, off to a blood specialist and many tests and appointments later, we were given the diagnosis.  Bud had some cells floating in his blood stream that were about 5% abnormal. 

I asked the doctor what that meant and what were we to do?  He said that it was nothing to be concerned about but that we would need to keep an eye on it. 

On the way home, I asked Bud if he was okay at being 95% well? 

It is easy when we get the opinions of the doctors that what they say is the “truth” about us.  The 5% abnormal cells had me doing treatments for weeks to stay “cool, calm and collected” about the diagnosis. 

Maybe for the doctor it was nothing to be concerned about, but when it comes our health, take nothing for granted.  Enlist all the help you can get including doing the Spiritual Mind Treatment to keep you on track with your Truth, even if 5% of you is abnormal.

How important is language?

Alan and I have had an ongoing issue with the IRS because we filed an amended return for 2011.  We paid the taxes due and then I realized that we had more deductions and that it was necessary to see an accountant about them.

So, we filed the amended return and waited breathlessly for our check.  It has yet to come.  We have been waiting for six months.

While talking with my prayer partner yesterday, we were discussing what the problem was.  I told her that I remember reading that it was necessary to forgive and bless everyone that came to mind when we wanted to increase our prosperity experience.  So, I remembered that I forgave Alan for using Turbo tax to file our return, me for allowing him to talk me into using what he called “a time and money saver,” me for having to spend the extra money for our accountant and then blessing everyone.  I blessed Alan.  I blessed the IRS.  I blessed our union and our partnership in financial matters.

While telling my prayer partner about all of this, I said, “I have done everything I know how to do.  I just don’t get it.” 

Her reply was, “Of course, you don’t and you won’t get it the check either.” 

Oops!  As soon as she said that, the light blub went off in my head.  Since I don’t get it, I won’t get it.  I immediately replied, that, yes, I get it. 

I have since realized that some things are just not on my schedule or in my control.  I have given this situation over to God several times and I keep taking it back because I want to get the money.  I thought my control issues were over.  Guess not!

So, again, I turned it all over to God and said, “it’s all yours.”  Especially now that I get how important it is to language for posture and to ask for what it is that I want in my life. 

Thank you Source Energy for all that is in my life and for all that I am blessed with including receiving the check from the IRS in a timely and perfect manner.  All is truly well in my life.  And so it is.

Joy

The first book I picked up this New Year had an opening line of, “What brings you joy?”  It stopped me in my tracks.  I have been doing a lot of things but I am not sure that any one of them brought me joy. 

When I look at my life now, I love where I am and what I am doing, but none of it is with “deep joy.”  I realized that I had been so focused on getting settled into this house, being a day care for little puppies, being a wife and housewife, that I have forgotten what brings me joy.

Writing gives me satisfaction.  Painting gives me fulfillment.  Reading gives me knowledge.  But what gives me joy?

This will certainly give me something to think about while I am packing up this house to relocate to Oklahoma City.  Can I find joy while packing up my life?  I may have to start a list of things that I can do that bring me joy.

Again, I feel very grateful that I am in a position to be able to choose from multiple avenues.  Is it possible to have too many choices?

I have been looking for a theme for this year.  Joy seems to be my answer.  So, with joy in my heart, I allow it to be the driving motivation for 2013. 

What brings you joy?
