I really have been having a difficult time putting pen to paper. I think of everything that is going on in the world and it is really hard not to be a “negative Nancy”. It really is. So what do I do? I revert to my angel cards to motivate my thoughts. The card I chose is “play”. I kind of said aloud, really! Then I did something I do not normally do, I put the card back in the mix, shuffled them really well, chanted a very quick “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” and what card did I draw again? “Play.” Wow! Now for me, there is no question that I will never do that again. Lesson learned. I have always been a fast learner, so I like to believe. It made me think about what is missing in my life. For me, it really is thought provoking because my life is absolutely fabulous. It really is. I am blessed with so many wonderful miracles, the kind of miracles that happen here and now every day. All you have to do is really listen and you will know them. Pay attention they are often so subtle unlike the miracles of surviving tragedy, those are easy to understand. The subtle ones are the most complicated because it is often in hind-sight that they are recognized and to me, that is when I hear people full of regrets. If you try to keep your mind and heart open you can see them and appreciate them in the moment that they are happening. Not as hard as people make it seem. So once again, I digress as I often do. LOL, You would think my angel card was “miracle” but it wasn’t it was “play”. Something I vow to do more of. I am going to leave you with a wonderful quote from Daisaku Ikeda, “Even in times of hardship, the important thing is for each of us to determine that we are the star, protagonist and hero of our lives and keep moving forward.” The Moon is in Sagittarius 2nd house expand your mind, broaden your horizons. Peace…Sandra
