Today is a snow day for me. For those who don't know, we up here in the cold white north do not take snow days lightly, they are very serious, with a a very specific formulation. Today the temperature is about -20, which under normal circumstances can mean a whole lotta fun, but with wind gusts of about 75 kilometers an hour, it can get pretty nasty out there on the highway. We are a hardy bunch up here, but the weather can change in an instant. And so it did on this day.
Nasty. Yes. But the calm before the storm, brought a Sundog... and it was beautiful with the sun shining so brightly coming up into the sky!
I did begin my day by heading in to work, as it really didn't seem all that bad. With the impending conditions, my husband said that he would drive me, so I was all set to go. As we started to make our way in to town, I went onto my social media just to check it out and sure enough, my little town was in a hunkered~down snow mode day. So with this, we quickly picked up some groceries and headed back home on the tailspin of an impending whiteout which was now upon us.
Snug as a bug, we are home now, the woodstove is cleaned out (and a rocking some good heat I might add), lunch is made and eaten, water pots all filled up to the brims, and we are ready for you, Mr. Winter, come and get us! I decided to take a moment to check my social media what's up & what's new on Netflix and upon checking our Facebook Highway Network Page, I saw that there is a 65 year old man who left for work 6 hours ago that has not shown up yet, no cell phone, no sightings, no word. There are so many delays on days such as this and so many worried people. So as I begin my climb to happiness today, I offer a prayer♡ to the many families that are awaiting the safe arrival of their loved ones home from their destinations.
With this in my thoughts & prayers, I continue on my quest for today of Happiness. And my of the day is PARTICIPACtion♡ I take my hands... and hold them both up, and I visualize... they are connected to the hands of another, which are connected to the hands of one more, and then yet another; and now the circle is complete... And each right hand is to receive, and each left, with an attitude of giving♡ The whole circle creates a tremendous energy field, where all those committed, create a unified bond and vital whole. This, this is my message today. As beautiful as it sounds. All a part of the whole. This goes for each of us and each part of our journey... all necessary, unique, important and bares gifts of the whole♡
'Like a flower, whole wholeness is even more beautiful than the sum of its parts, at the same time enhancing the beauty of each individual petal.' OSHO
It's time. The opportunity is here to participate, and for me to be a part of a whole again, creating something greater than, possibly, and perhaps more beautiful than each of us could manage alone. There. Together as one creates a wave of happiness♡ Each individual role, mine included, will not only nourish myself, but will also contribute to something precious and unique to the whole. This is where the beauty and happiness lay today; in this message & awareness♡
To see that outside of the misery, the mundane, the sadness or suffering, awaits the joy and happiness. Time to step outside of that. That period is done. Time to participate rather than be the spectator, teach rather than learn, and learn rather than teach, all a part of the whole; the vast beauty of the Universe.. no more watching or waiting... but allowing and being♡
***the Beauty of the MoonDogs... and yes, Sun 'Dogs' Moon 'Dogs' mean cold...*** all a part of the whole♡♡♡
