an auspicious morning

Early this afternoon I have an appointment with a sort of reverse head hunter…a person who helps people that are looking for new work hone their skills and connect with companies looking for suitable employees – I’m both anticipating this meeting and a little scared of the task at hand…

I had a restless night and this morning I got up to discover that someone had used all the cream in my house (*ahem*) so I had to put my pants on and head to the grocery store.

On my way back from the store some urge had me stop at a thrift store near my home….I don’t often frequent thrift stores (I do like antique stores though) but for some reason I wandered in to one this morning.  You will imagine my surprise at discovering one of my beloved Belle Fiore plates! A sandwich plate that I was able to purchase for $3.00 – by far the best deal I’ve ever received when buying what is now considered an antique.

I think it’s a sign that there is room in my life for positive change…and right now I’m eating a soft boiled egg (in the egg cup that my Aunt Marigold sent me) with “little soldiers” of toast all neatly arranged on my new (and freshly/lovingly) washed plate and thinking of my family.

Stop.

stop.
think of how you felt
at exactly the moment
you learned
Harper was to be our PM
again…

sad?
slightly nauseous?
angry?
futile?
stunned?

now…
remember that feeling…
we may get our chance again in the future…
and when we do,
each and everyone of us
that felt this way
m.u.s.t.
get up to take action…
not just
work at positive change.

We tried this time…
and we effected some change…
that’s a win…
not a loss…
so just stop…
and think of how you felt
so you will remember it
the next time.
