Beloved.
Boy, am I late or what? My son called me this morning; in fact he woke me up because I had gone back to bed. He said he could come this morning to fix my dryer which was no longer vented to the outdoors. I thought I could get my RAV4 all loaded for the set up this weekend before he got here. Since I need to take my scooter along with all my set up equipment, I needed to pack it differently than I did in other years. Since I need my scooter to go get help to unload my car and bring it all to my booth, I needed to have it ready to unload first. My son, Steve surprised me as I was coming out of the house with one of my wheeled crates. I really am so glad he was here as he could give me suggestions on how to get it all in the car and, of course, he could help me load it.
I made coffee (our tradition) while he was trying to attach the flexible hose to the dryer and to the vent. Finally, he had to go to a hardware store to get some new hose so that took a while. Our favorite gluten free restaurant was closed as they were all celebrating the wedding of their daughter and sister and I knew he was really hungry so I cooked some food for us. We ate when he got back and he got the dryer all hooked up. I won’t have all that steam coming into my house anymore. Hooray. When he left, I had to leave to go set up for the Expo and now that I am back, I can talk to you.
My knee is doing a lot better and I am in less pain now than I have been in a long time. John of God is still working on me and I am grateful but I can’t walk far as it gets the inflammation going so I am still using the scooter for now. The Natural Living Expo in Marlborough, Ma this weekend is being held at the Best Western Royal Plaza Trade Center. If you have ever been to the Expo, you know just how large that room is. I am at booth 11 which is quite a walk from the front of the building and the Ladies’ Room is quite far also so I will need the scooter while I am there. The people were so helpful and came out to my car and loaded it all on a dolly and brought it to my booth. I cannot pull the wheeled crates and still ride my scooter. I am grinning as I try to picture that scenario. I hope you can make the Expo as there is more than you can see in even one day.
On my way there, a beautiful rainbow appeared and it seemed to end right where the Expo is. I believe that was a message to me, telling me that we will be at the end of the rainbow. All is Well, even if I have to scale down what I bring. I am getting many AHA moments and teaching moments as I release my perceived habit of always being prepared and bringing more than what I really need. I am being forced to partly surrender to asking for help and that is a lifelong lesson for me. As long as I have a table, I can just be who I am and that is enough. As I was trying to decide which links to send you, I came across this one that speaks about the rainbow. I believe the rainbow I saw was for you also so see what you think about this perspective, it warmed my heart.
This article hit home for me as this is what humanity is coming to even if some things don’t seem that way. It is such a better world when we help each other.
Here is another perfect example of asking and then receiving.
Would you like an excuse to not rake those leaves? Here it is.
Who doesn’t like chocolate? It’s about time that most of us realize that there are many benefits and this will give you an excuse if you feel you need one. And…..you don’t need to rake the leaves either.
