Funny, not so funny, funny story

A couple of days ago, I took "three in hand", that is 3 dogs in my hands to the park nearby the house here in Riverview. It is about a quarter of a mile walk to the park. Once there, I let them run free. What a time they had racing, digging and exploring the underbrush. It has not rained here in awhile so I was surprised when my feet sunk in the wet grass. Cold water ran into my crocs. I sloshed around, caught the dogs and proceeded back to the house. My left eye is still very droopy so my vision is a bit out of balance unless I tape the eye open. We were going along quite well until they all spied a squirrel. I didn't see it coming as they gathered all their strength and weight in order to leap about 20' after the squirrel. I have a video recording in my brain where I can reverse it and replay the action. I saw myself sliding, airborne and then trying to dig in my heels which were filled with slimy muddy water. I always resort to calling in my angels who I am most thankful for. We were careening towards a large tree. I knew if I fell, my head would crash into the tree -no helmet either. I saw myself crashing face first into the tree - all those awful skiing accidents I have heard of where people have crashed into trees on the slopes fast forwarded through my brain. There wasn't time to do much and I did hit the tree just as the dogs went one on one side and two on the other. Luckily, I have been blessed with a rather large cushion on my chest. The dogs stopped and I stopped chest firmly against the tree. I was very angry with the dogs at that point and very grateful to my angels for giving me a hand. This is not the end of the story however. We went on home where I put the dogs in the backyard to dry off. I then went into the mud room to remove my sloshy shoes. As I pulled my foot out of one of the shoes, a gecko jumped out and fled across the room. Can you believe that the little lizzard rode with me all the way from the park enduring the wild ride to the tree? I noted the lizzard energy since that is the third one in a couple of weeks that has been with me. One in my car and one on my windshield riding down the highway. I drove very slowly until I was able to remove him safely.

I encourage you to sign up on the Oprah.com website to read along and discuss Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth - Awakening to your life's purpose. It is a 10 week course and we will be reading it together and discussing it in live feed. I read this book last year and was delighted to find that someone like Tolle had taken much of the teachings in The Course In Miracles and explained them clearly in easy to understand text. Please do this for yourself, your family and your planet. This will be indeed life-changeing.

I am off for a mammogram now. More later -

Have a Blessed day of peace and love,
Donna
