I'm on a roll...

How absurd...she swallowed a bird?

I keep thinking of that nursery rhyme...one thing lead to another, starting with a SPIDER (that wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her...), and eventually, she ended up swallowing a HORSE.

She died, of course.

Why did she keep going???

I argue...I argue with MYSELF. Even when I KNOW BETTER, I argue with my myself because my head says the opposite of my heart. For as far back as I can remember, those two body parts have never gotten along.

My head is often wrong...because LOVE always wins. I should know better by now. Why didn't I stop at the SPIDER? We all make mistakes...everyone occasionally swallows a Spider.

Yep, I'm tired...
Blessings.

1. Thank you God for nursery rhymes. I finally get that one. (Gross way to put a really valuable lesson). Its up to you to make choices that serve your purpose, and to invest your energy where it will manifest and become brilliant. If you are doing something today that you no longer wish to continue doing, then make the choice to STOP. Remove yourselves from that which drains your power and robs you of your light.

2. Thanks, too, for light...I sat in the Den today with a book a picked up this morning at a garage sale, and turned the light on next to the sofa. I opened the book, randomly, to a page in the center, and began to read.

The Author asked the reader to think about a lamp...what does a lamp do? It shines light! Does it CHOOSE who it sheds its light on, and who it does not? Is it picky about who's path is lit? Does it reserve light for those deemed worthy, or which live up to it's expectations and predetermined standards?
Of course not..its a LAMP. It just IS.

YOU are LOVE...you just are. Do NOT choose who you shed your light and love upon...you are LIGHT...created to illuminate your life so that your light might cast a glow on someone elses path.

Just shine..all are worthy.

3. For the completion of a book I put together for my grandma, I AM SO GRATEFUL! I hope she loves it. She complains that I "never" let her read what I write (I guess the printed articles I cut out and stick into envelopes don't count).

I think what she really wants is to know where I am INSIDE...I think she's bored with articles, and I don't think she cares much about the book. She wants to know ME.

So, I wrote her the book of Elle and Nana. Its the ONLY copy, and I pray she loves it. I figure I'd better let her in before she's gone forever.

4. For whole wheat blueberry pancakes for dinner, I give big THANKS...God, that was SO good.

5. For the morning with my Mom. Someone rattled my cup...they didn't TIP MY CUP, oh no, but there was a small spill. I wont lie.

She filled my cup....

And so did the T-Shirt that came in the mail today from my Sister in Chicago..

It says:

"SHOW ME THE LOVE" on the front...

How frickin appropriate.

I love her.

Count your blessings, avoid the spiders, and LAUGH..laughing is good.

Love,
Elle
