What an interesting day this has been! Part of my job as an on-site manager for the complex is to fill in where needed and necessary. Today, I ventured into my old neighbors apartment who was put into a nursing home recently.
As I began to bag up the trash and other items left behind, the only words I could utter were: “I’m sorry [name]. I love you [name]”. It felt surreal. Here was this woman whom managed well into her 80’s to be on her own and like that…fell to the nursing home system. Granted it was not an easy situation for her or her family, this is just the outsider looking in. I’d only know her for five to six years, who knows for sure all the ins and outs of the family right across the way from her. With that said, as I made my way through with the big black trash bags pitching out the odds and ends, and speaking the I’m sorry [name]; I love you [name], I got delightful interruptions. The interruptions are the key points.
Universe has a weird way of checking into to see if we really are in steadfast commitment, focused awareness and complete trust. I know you know what I’m talking about or you would not be here reading this site, blog, post at all, don’t negate your knowing.
My first post Solution: Love speaks all about love being the solution and my fascination with the word solution. Not only that I revisited a class this morning from January this year that is specifically (!!) about the energy of love beyond an emotion and the all healing power that IT IS. *Trust me I use to flounder back and forth with the saying “all you need is love”. Who knew?*
Thus (drumroll) delightful interruptions.
It’s been just over three hours and I’ve invited love in as the solution. I am celebrating this! Heck yes! Any other time I would have been questioning, doubting or the should I have done this, could I have done that, and beat myself up as we have all done…till now. Like it or not, most of us are pleasers and coddlers to each other, and do it so well our egos love misery, plus company.
I will say that this authentic power of love and wisdom is familiar. Guess what? That is another celebration. Have a good night.
