Abundance of Blessings

Someone pointed out to me yesterday that things certainly seem to be going well for me this summer, in comparison to what I was going on and worrying about so much in the latter part of the spring.

They are correct. Things turned out quite well for me so far this summer, considering neither myself nor my husband are currently employed full time. Instead of going out and getting a temporary job, I have enough students and readings booked this summer (so far, at least) that I didn't need to go that route. This has undoubtedly been a blessing as it has allowed the bills that continue through the summer to be paid along with having some downtime to travel to the places that I love - mostly the Lake and enjoy the incredible summer sunshine we have been having.

I have given thanks every night before I fall asleep for the blessings and opportunities that I have been given this day and every day by the higher power and I also go so far as to thank the higher power for the blessings that I know I will receive in the day to come. I ask for the white light of protection for myself and for others and I also ask for the blue light of healing to surround those that I know need the extra help.

I did not ask for extra, but I asked for help in doing what needs to be done - pay bills and enjoy what I can in life.

I have had an abundance of blessings this month of July. July has far exceeded my expectations.

August comes a slight change to the schedules, but I am hopeful that I will continue to be blessed and happy and healthy and that no matter what, the abundance of blessings will continue because I will always be given when I need and for that, I will always be thankful!

Summer is speeding by

Wow! Where is the summer of 2010 going?!

July has just flown by and soon we will all be back in to our "regularly scheduled lives" that even though we no longer are in school, still revolves around the school year schedule!

I do love summer. I have not enjoyed a summer so much in a LONG time! We have spent a few overnights at the lake and also gone down for a number of sunny/swimmy afternoons.

Everytime that I test my blood pressure after we come back from the Lake it is the best it's been since the last time we were down. Each time I tested at Shoppers on our way home and each time it is as close to the perfect "120/80" that I can remember getting. Apparently, sunhine and swimming agrees with me! :)

Things seem to be turning a corner with regards to hubby's health. While it's still slow going, I think we can both see an improvement for the first time in literally a couple of years. I'm hoping that the upward trend continues and he starts to feel like himself again soon.

Looking forward to a few more busily scheduled weekends and then back to the grind it is! But, I can honestly say I am looking forward to it. I think I'll be ready, mentally, for the first time in years! Only time will tell of course, but I'm looking forward with much positivity!!
