“You have emotions, you are not the emotions.” I have heard this many times when attending John White classes. Today I had some incredibly low emotions.

It was one of those days when you just don’t really know sometimes if you are doing the right things at all.
I am coming off an amazing summer. I volunteered and served at Lily Dale for their summer season this year. I was honored to be able to serve in the healing temple, Monday night circles, outdoor message services, and at the workshops. People there were all so amazing, kind and loving. When I needed a place to stay several people stepped forward, when I needed extra encouragement, it was readily available and new friends NO PROBLEM! I learned from observing taking lots and lots of notes, listening, listening and listening some more and of course trusting Spirit had led me to this summer internship. My family was absolutely wonderful helping to take care of my youngest children so that I could serve, grow and learn.

One thing that happens sometimes, though, when you effectively put yourself back into school is that your finances start to become a jumble. Today was bills come in the mail day, and it was two appointments cancel day, and convincing 5 a year old that kindergarden will get better for him and, and, and ….

the big AND however is that this computer is finally starting to go. Dean built this computer for me about 6 years ago. It is not always connecting to the internet now and for some reason the backup I have been doing missed one whole section of the computer and of course that is the section I cannot get into now and it says that there are no files. In that section is all the work and pictures Dean did while he was sick. GRRRRRRR.

I knew I was in a ‘bad’ place and took myself for an extra walk, did some extra breathing exercises (thank you Don Scott and your Yoga for Everyone DVD). I had a client that did not cancel today and I knew I needed to be in a better place to see her.

I love her. She is so appreciative of the time and the energy exchange. She told me how wonderful I was. Me? Wonderful? I honestly was thinking how wonderful she was. She is almost 80, diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing chemo, trying to keep her world together and take care of her house and little dog. She is really an inspiration.

We are inspiration to each other. Remembering to be grateful. Remembering to be loving. Even when we may not feel entirely that way is a reminder that we do indeed have a choice. We do indeed have the power to uplift each other through our choosing. We can choose to be grateful even in the times and circumstances that don’t seem like they deserve and love and gratitude. It is more important to do so in these times. Grateful that I have any type of finances to be in a jumble. Grateful that my 5 year old is healthy and adjusted enough to even have a conversation on how Kindergarden will get better and the computer…. I am grateful that I have a son that Dean taught and is in computer science right now so that hopefully he can help me salvage that information and photos. Grateful that I have a computer at all on which to work. Grateful for my amazing summer and all the support I received. Grateful for my client, who through her own gratitude allowed for my attitude adjustment for the day.
