Day 8 – March 28, 2011

Has this been a day or what? Hmmm! I don't even know where to start. One thing I can tell you for sure is that the way that this day is ending looks nothing like the way it started.

I believe that when you channel, you find that life challenges you to become more, even with the simplest of things. By this I mean that now everything
has a meaning. And when I say "everything" I mean everything. I can also tell you that my Inner Being, the Boys, The Universe, God, lets me know ahead of time when things are going to be interesting.

For instance, take today for example. This morning I just couldn't get up to meditate. I woke up at the regular time and without even thinking twice, I went right back to sleep. The morning routine with the Grasshopper was not much different than others. The mandatory "I don't want to feed the Tripod! Why don't you feed him today?" but in general, it went smoothly. We acted silly all the way to school and laughed a lot, we even had time to stop for a hot beverage of a certain brand along the way. So far so good. THEN, I get to work and my first impulse is to quickly go to the chapel and put in my 10 minutes of meditation. There's nothing weird about this, only that I had this weird feeling inside of me that felt like someone kept telling me "just in case." I turned the other cheek. I had some other "advances" during the day; little things that may seem irrelevant to you but that now that I look back I know they were not warnings, but more like notices letting me know things would not be as expected.

I came home and my first impulse was to find out if the Enlightened One was on Skype for a chat. I completely ignored the fact that he's 6 or 7 hours ahead of me! See? Another thing that was different from every day. To make a long story short, we had a very nice conversation. We always laugh a lot and he is usually full of practical advice. There Enlightened One and I go back a long way. That's a story I will touch on at a later date.

Here comes the meat of today's story. Be patient. I left work, and on my way to pick up the Grasshopper I listened to the messages on the device and found one from Grinch indicating he had left Freckles outdoors and that by now she was probably running low on food. He is out on a trip and won't be back for many days, so he was asking for me to go feed her. Mind you. Grinch lives 40 miles away from me. Driving over there was something I did not look forward to tonight. But I did. I called the Manager and we went to pick her up. That changed everything. I had plans of working on my book tonight and also on going to bed really early, but the Universe had other plans for me. The Manager cried all the way back home. She wanted Freckles to be with her or with me, where we could take care of her. So, we did what we do best, we called in The Boys! By the way, they are wonderful drivers. They told us that Freckles is exactly where she wants to be and that we should see this as an opportunity to spend time with her. That she has actually attracted this encounter with us. She's a joy to have around, but she had made Tripod super nervous. He just doesn't appreciate having other beings distracting my attention from him, and he makes that clear. I hadn't seen Freckles for 2 years. I've missed her so much! She used to be my baby when I lived 40 miles away! It's amazing how them, just like us, never forget their pets!

So, in retrospective, that impulse to go meditate first thing in the morning helped me be in a good vibrational place for when one person forgot her manners when she spoke to me; it helped me be even more excited about seeing someone from 10 years ago; it attracted my conversation with the Enlightened One who, even though was probably going to bed at that time, stayed up to talk to me and then, it also prevented me from destroying Grinch's reputation once and for all. That is what I mean. The Universe is constantly letting us know of what's up ahead, but we are so busy that we don't pay attention to those signs. I knew this morning that 'something' was going to be different today. I didn't know what or how it would happen, but I knew that I would definitely find out. I didn't feel apprehension or fear. I just 'knew'.

So… I have been talking for 8 days straight about me, myself and I. I personally am having a blast. But I would love to hear from you. Is there anything in particular that you want to hear about? We have time. 357 days to go!

Time to go. See you tomorrow? I certainly hope so!
