Peace has been restored

Peace has been restored to our household! My brother has picked up his little Gremlins (Boston Terrors, that is!) and we are left with our peaceable three dog pack. Ahhhhhh. Of course, I could not help myself but fall for their sweet little souls and, though I will not miss the rucus, I will miss their sweet little spirits. But you would not imagine how difficult it is for a person to get around in a house of 5 dogs as compared to 3! Whew, thankfully there have been no broken ankles or knees although often the little terrors (including my own) seemed to be aiming right for them! I love the joy and excitement our little animal spirits bring to our lives and am grateful for the distraction their presence provided for me while I had to say goodbye to one of my little bunny friends earlier this week. I know she has been embraced by the Light and I am grateful to Spirit for releasing her from any suffering she had to endure during her last days on earth.

I have had the opportunity this week to do some reflecting upon my current circumstances regarding my career and thanks to some supportive voices here, find some perspective. This year has been a trying one with regard to work and I had not been able to extract myself from the emotion of it all to clearly see the lessons I may have learned from it. I will continue to work on this aspect of my life as well as to focus on uplifting my own spirit so that I will more clearly know how to proceed. Answers have yet to show themselves to me but I feel that progress has been made. I need to continue to clear away the debris so that I may envision my path with greater clarity and faith.

Also, I have been reminded of the true love I have for my mate and through reconnecting with the core of our relationship which is love, I have moved toward healing the hurts and changing the way we relate to one another. I have also realized how much time, regrettably, that we have wasted doing battle. We have been given a great gift this lifetime in finding one another. It is essential that I begin to live up to the great love we feel for one another. Sometimes I have a difficulty accepting the beautiful gifts life has given me . . . I feel deeply moved by my blessings but at the same time so unworthy. I have much work to do on myself so that I learn to believe myself to be worthy and accept the great blessings with grace and gratitude. God gifts us these blessings not because we already act in a way that is deserving of them but in the hope and faith that we will. This week, I will work on accepting the gifts of Spirit. I am worthy . . . I am worthy . . . I am worthy.

In love and gratitude,

Cheri
