So far this week I haven’t slept right, I haven’t thought right and I’ve found myself wondering that even in my newfound domestic bliss perhaps “I’m depressed?” Then I catch myself and say thank you for whatever task it is that I’m doing. If it’s cooking I’m thankful for having someone I love to cook for and being able to have food available to me to cook. If it’s waiting in line somewhere I’m thankful I’ve got two legs to stand on that work well enough (barely!) to hold me up. If it’s waiting at the Laundromat for a crappy half assed dryer to dry my cloths I pause and say thank you that I can afford clothing and have someone in my life that I care for enough to take care of. No matter what it is your doing whether you like it or are lumping it – there is someone on the planet that does not have the ability to do what you are doing and wishes they did. So for crying out loud say thank you! Tactful enough or should I just come out and say quit your whining?

I’ve felt all week like I’m in an enclosed space of my own creation then it dawned on me this morning that it’s a week of a new moon, Sunday the moon will be nearly invisible in the sky. When the moon retreats our emotions turn inward and our thoughts turn to purging that which we may have collected that we do not need over the last cycle. They say that the more in tune you are with the lunar cycles the healthier you are. Well – I count myself lucky; I’m healthy because the whole week has been a inward travel. At least now I know why I feel there is some looming task ahead of me. I’ve got a lot to let go of and create peace with – in fact we all do.

Things should get lighter after Sunday – so hold your sacred space, say thank you for whatever you have at hand and above all things love what you have so that you can create more.
