Daily Miracles & Musings #169 6-28-24

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe, the horse was lost, for the want of a horse, the battle was lost, for want of the battle, the war was lost…

Well, speaking of lost things, my chair has not been supporting me the way I’d like. Unexpectedly it would suddenly - or slowly - sink down down down.

I finally looked to see why and discovered a metal thingy (?) missing the part that keeps it attached to the chair. It was lost.

This morning, on the middle of the floor, rested the “metal thingy”. I got a pliers and reattached it to the chair.

My chair is supporting me now. No longer lost.

Photo of the metal thingy:

Now with the photo, I hope you know what it “is”.

Sometimes a photo or a picture or a drawing can ‘explain’ like words can’t, yes?

I had the opportunity today to interact with a “banker” on the phone. Did my best to be curious and compassionate with both of us.

Sometimes it is harder than other times, isn’t it?! I became so frustrated that I cried. Then, after almost an hour, and I thought we were getting to some resolution, the line went dead. Disconnected. Then I sobbed.

Relief to realize that I no longer was in the problem. This was a tech issue with my bank, computer, cell phone…and the last words I heard the person on the phone saying was something like “maybe this is a problem on our side…”

I could turn my attention elsewhere. My inner child Molly is a solace for me. (Miracle!)

Um, when I listen. She reminded me that I can do what I can, and I can’t do what I can’t.

What I could do, when we were disconnected, was to NOT call back. NOT continue trying to sort it all out.

I left my desk, computer, cell, and my apartment. The air outside was fresh. I sat in the little “front yard” and rested my bare feet on the bare earth.

Calming. Centering. Grounding. Returning to my sense of well being.

I’m resting into tomorrow.

Until then, be well…
