Another big long painful stretch of work for me, no breaks, no days off. My (hourly) mantra has been:
attitude of gratitude, be grateful for the job.
But, ya know, it can be challenging, and I’m not super patient. Hopefully now that some new folks have been hired (and some of MY suggestions have been heard and enacted), we won’t be going through this sort of torture again.
At the end of it all, here’s what I heard,
lemonade.
By which, of course, the Universe means, when we are gifted a basket full of golden citrus fruits . . . .
we are to celebrate. To bake. To make healthy juices. To zest ’em and add to every damn thing we eat.
Last place is still worthy of a prize. We finished, we didn’t give up. Even if we started over, we continued on. We arose every new day and moved through it.
And sometimes, we drank tasty lemonade. Because the truth is, we CAN handle it. We WILL be fine. We DID set this all in motion. We ARE worth it.
On our card altar right now is an excellent validation, and just the right type of reminder.
“Skunk ~ 7 ~ Reputation
Unlike other predatory animals, Skunk does not threaten your life, but threaten your senses.
Skunk is teaching you that by walking your talk and by respecting yourself, you will create a position of strength and honored reputation.
Learn to assert, without ego, what you are. Respect follows. Walk tall, be proud of accomplishments you have made.”
