Imbolc, Haiku & Gratitude for You

Have I told you today that I am grateful for you? I am grateful you are on this journey and we are learning to shine together, regardless of circumstances, like the light-be-ers we are here to be!

THANK YOU!

I am so full of gratitude today. Today literally the skies cleared and revealed for at least several hours, a pure, immaculate sparkly sky, full of birdsong and air warm enough to stand in with only a sweater. Everything in me felt sweet in a fresh way that I’ve never actually felt like that before. The energy is new. I am new.

Are you feeling it, this becoming what you’ve never been before?

My heart felt wider than the sky and I couldn’t help smiling a partially toothless smile at the expansiveness I felt after such an arduous couple of weeks. I shed a lot of emotional layers of pain, in addition to the physical. Each day since I had the dental stuff done last Tuesday has gotten just a little lighter. When we set out for the dentist my loving husband drove there safely in sleet and then safely home in the midst of dark clouds following a deep freeze in my state. Yesterday I stopped taking pain meds, but was still in a good bit of discomfort. And I felt largely pain free. YAY! Yesterday it was lighter…but still cloudy all day long. Today…today…today….the sun came out!!!! And I felt pain free unless I press or chew the wrong spot. I even tried eating solid food. It was a bit iffy, but I wolfed some yummy omelette down, even if I didn’t chew it all the way!

WhenI stepped outside into the sunny air of Imbolc, everything in me expanded in joy.

I wrote this Haiku:

Cloud cover lighter

Birds singing a happy song

Blue sky opens my heart sings

The other day, in a moment of duress due to the pain I was in, Ashlynn hurled herself onto my lap and I couldn’t help asking hubby to take a picture. I was having a pretty tough time, and she brought a smile to my face. The book in the background is the one I recommended by Mark Charles.

The picture below I took today, feeling so full of gratitude, and excited for the year of the Dragon!
