The Bird on the Tarp
Get Light!
...as you begin your journey!
A magic moment for me this morning: I was at my kitchen window and saw a bird in my driveway, perched on top of a tarpaulin that was dropped on the ground - by the wonderful hubby, another post another day
- but it wasn’t
flat on the ground (the blue ones, very light material.) It just landed, with hills and valleys all over... for little creatures to crawl under! Again, another post another day. This story telling thing requires such focus. OK
I was thinking how amazing it was for this bird to be landing and staying on top of a pocket of air practically. Then it walked around!…the image of it prancing around, not weighted down by a concern in the world brought a smile to the face.
I thought "but where is his baggage, concerns and grudges?" (clearly I need a vacation)
My mom used to love to speak human thoughts into animals and other-wise, non-conceptual life forms. Thinking of her saying this as I watched the bird prance around actually made me laugh out loud.
I wondered about the courageous participants in our Success Habits in 21 Days program, starting today...are they light enough to prance around during our journey together?
How light are you for your journey?
What troubles from yesterday are you taking into tomorrow while robbing you of today?
Consider what excess baggage you can leave here, today. You might even get light enough to truly enjoy this moment.
And here’s the magic of that moment for me. I was thinking, if that bird had some piece of leaf or crumb on his wings, weighing him down, it would no doubt shake it off before flying off. And as if on cue, the bird did a shake, then another and flew off light as a feather! The bird was working along with me!
What do you think the size of a bird brain is? Well, it's big enough to figure out what it needs to do to travel light.
So, what can you shake off today? Are you light enough for the journey?

This piece actually helped me today. Reading it helped me to shake off the feeling of being overwhelmed. I will think of the bird and "Get Light" whenever I'm being challenged.

Hi Linea!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write something tho!!
It is amazing isn't it how birds and animals have sort of 'figured out' how to live without drama! We add so much weight to ourselves.
I'm glad this helped!

Linda!
I'm so glad to provide a quick visual - you know we need a little help sometimes with doing what we know is right - lightening up, shake it off and press on!
I know you know how to "get Light"
God Bless,
Julette

I'm back! I just had to make another comment. This post helped me yesterday and it didn't hit me until today when I began to read your other post "I don't want to talk to my boys". Yesterday something happened and where I would normally be weighed down by the drama of what was going on. After hearing and dealing with the non-sense, I shook myself off from the fact that I was hit by it, and I was able to quickly and happily move on.
So many times we allow what is happening around us weigh us down / change our mood. This post reinforced that we can be as happy as we want to be and ultimately we can choose to shake off the junk that is thrown at us and smile and move on.

You're soooo right!! We can "be as happy as we want to be" emphasis on - 'we WANT!'
I'm so glad you came back !
It sounds like you shook it off like the bird on the tarp!
Thanks for stopping by!

I do have to admit that I take pleasure in reading through your blog, even when I do not agree with you. I guess the main factor would be to make persons feel. One of nowadays I will get around to beginning a blog. It will probably be a lot more for blowing off steam and less useful than yours is though. Maintain writing and I will keep reading through.

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I could do with some instruction from an established blog. Is it especially hard to start your own weblog? I'm not especially good with technical stuff however I can work different things out pretty fast. I'm contemplating establishing my own web publication however I'm unclear about where to start. Do you have some recommendations? With thanks

I'm thoroughly enjoying the design and arrangement of your site. It is quite easy on the eyes which makes it a great deal more pleasant for me to turn up here and pay a visit more frequently. Did you hire a graphic designer to create your theme? Awesome work!

Tony Blair faced a massive defection from his own party ranks during voting around the intervention in Iraq. For our present purpose, the point is not that he survived the defection, but that he had to face it.
