“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”
― Eckhart Tolle
It feels good to feel good. If every morning when you wake up you remember to be thankful for another opportunity to spend time in this beautiful world, then you will set an intention to have a wonderful day. It seems simple, but it works. At least be in a good mood – nothing is ever gained by walking around looking for all of the dark clouds in life.
New Moon – It’s that time of month when the moon has turned the corner once again and will begin to be visible as it progresses towards becoming full. This is always a good time to take action, to implement all of the plans that have been stewing in your mind.
This is a special moon phase from an astrological viewpoint as well. From the site Astromatrix.org – “This is quite a powerful new moon, with a conjunction between Venus Retrograde and Mercury in Gemini. However, this fusion of energy should feel pleasant. The Gemini Sun also trines Saturn Retrograde in Aquarius. Your plans will become more clear and you can really start to make progress with your goals.”
But in case you are feeling a little spacey, you can blame Neptune. More from Astromatrix – “Give yourself extra time to do everything. Meditation can help you stay grounded if any stress arises from the Mercury-Neptune square. The Neptunian fog can obscure your thoughts and cause you to not see things as they really are.”
It’s more fun to blame the planets than to look around and blame the people in your life for how you are feeling.
History Remembered – On this day back in 1934, police killed the famous outlaw duo Bonnie and Clyde. Although they killed 13 people, including 9 police officers, there was something romantic about their story that captured the attention of many in that era. It was a love story based in heartless robberies and was forever immortalized in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.
Apparently Bonnie was a bit of a poet, and two weeks before her death, while incarcerated, she wrote this poem:
Some day they’ll go down together;
And they’ll bury them side by side,
To a few it’ll be grief—
To the law a relief—
But it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.
Thought of the Day – Remember to breathe. Inhale consciously and deeply and appreciate how good it feels. The breath is always there, ready to connect you to the present moment and to remind you that right now everything is okay. Have a special day.
“Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.”
