Live at the edge of possibility...and wear your "special" clothes

There is a novella I have been working on that starts with Mercury going permanently retrograde. My mother's move, and everything connected with it, seems to be caught in that type of loop, with the most recent episode the trip to LA canceled due to the shooter. 

So there MUST be some message, or series of messages, in something so profoundly escher-like. Three steps up....two steps down...and then the staircase flips. After being trapped in this craziness since July, I sank into the situation.

So what are some lesson? First...WEAR YOUR SPECIAL CLOTHES NOW! When I was packing my Mom's clothes I found itens with the tags still on them. Somewhere in the Mojave desert these brand new pants and shirts and jackets are creating Christo and Jeanne Claude like effects for the viewing pleasure of the local wildlife. 

Second: USE YOUR CHINA! Eat off of your pretty plates and drink from your wonderful crystal. I was packing my Mom's china which had not been out of the safe storage packs for years and asked her why she did not just use them. Her response was that she might break one, and then she would not be able to set a table for twelve. So they sat unused...and then they were broken in the move.

Third:  EVERYDAY IS A GREAT DAY! Everyday has a blessing buried in it somewhere. It might be difficult to find, but the blessing is there. We can wear our special clothes, use our beautiful things, laugh with a friend, or give thanks that the sun rose and the world is still full of possibilities and opportunities and wonders. 

So choose today to laugh with a friend. Choose today to see some miracle. Choose today to live on the edge of possibility. Choose today to have fun conversations with anyone you deal with on the phone. Choose today to walk down a different street or take a small adventure by wearing something wonderful. Choose today.
