You know that you're going to have a rough day when it starts out with a flood in the basement. That was my Sunday morning this week. Our sump pump failed and with the extraordinary amount of rain we've been getting, it overwhelmed the basement. So what I thought was going to be a relaxing do-nothing kind of day turned into hours of water clean-up.
As I was sucking up the water with my wet dry vac, it started sputtering and smoking. I thought - Mercury Retrograde - or did my sour mood attract even more unfortunate events into my experience?
It's kind of like wondering what you're supposed to do with a basket full of half rotting peaches. You either throw them out or clean them up and make a pie. I made a pie. And it wasn't half bad.
This all lead me to the understanding that I could either be really angry or take this opportunity to clean out some unwanted clutter and organize my basement. I let the flood be. I let the smoking wet/dry vac be. And in the process I let myself Be.
When I let it be, I let whatever decides to come my way take me to my next activity. In this case, my basement got a really good cleaning (which it desperately needed) and I got to haul off a bunch of unwanted clutter to Goodwill thus making my basement office environment one I can truly enjoy.
So a little prompting from the Universe and now, I'm sitting in a dry, clean basement typing this to you so that you can take the next crazy thing the Universe serves up with a nod and the question: how can I make this work for me? Then follow your inspiriation and watch what happens!
Be a peacemaker!!
Love
Rita
