Strong Thoughts
Greetings, Creator!
As I was awakened at 4:25 this morning by a call from my terminally ill mother, following a toss and turn night, my first thought was gratitude to be there for her. Then, gratitude that she lives next door and I can just run over to help her.
That was followed by gratitude for the inculcation of gratitude that’s now such an automatic part of my being, that it comes without effort. Gratitude flows through and elevates me throughout each day.
And it makes all the difference.
So if I awaken feeling tired, I do not dwell there, for to dwell on tired is a weak thought that weakens me. Instead, I dwell on the positives everywhere within and around me.
This isn’t about denial, it is simply a choice to focus on strong thoughts rather than weak ones…on those thoughts and things that strengthen me rather than weaken me.
When the phone rang, my first concern was that my mother may have fallen. It turns out that this morning, she awoke confused and feeling like she was supposed to do something but she couldn’t think what. So she moved through her house with her walker, turning on all her lights and TV, checking her pill boxes and moving them around from place to place, trying to figure out the “dots she couldn’t make sense of.”
It can be a tricky business, exiting the body and trying to bridge between the worlds. Confusion is understandable, and increasingly so as more time is spent away from the body in preparation for departure. I was grateful to be able to be there to help calm and comfort her.
If tiredness creeps up today, I know tools to push through it, and if those fail, a nap is an option. So I do not need to dwell on lack of sleep, for that is already the past.
Instead, I choose strong thoughts that make me strong.
Speaking of strong thoughts and gratitude, I’m also grateful that awakening early afforded me the luxury of writing this to share with you today, and in hopes that it may in some way uplift you.
May you choose strong thoughts that will strengthen and sustain you in a higher way today.
Transformation through creation.
