Goodbye…Big Wave Dave’s “Spin of the Day” for Friday, March 24, 2017

 

https://youtu.be/oXpN950rOA8
Everybody’s got their reasons
Everybody’s got their lines
Everybody says forever
But it’s never ’round when it dies
My heart is on the table
Somebody’s gotta try
I’m willing and I’m able
Don’t you know it?
I don’t wanna say goodbyeAll my life
Waited for something this right
One more night
And I’m tryna stop the morning light

I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
Don’t wanna say goodbye

Nobody said it’s easy
And nobody wants a fight
Nobody in here is perfect, but it’s worth it with wide open eyes
My heart is on the table
If nobody’s gonna try
I’m willing and I’m able
Don’t you know it?
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye

All my life
Waited for something this right
One more night
And I’m tryna stop the morning light

I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
Don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye

My heart is on the table
Somebody’s gotta try
I’m willing and I’m able
Don’t you know it?
I don’t wanna say goodbye

Appreciating Ourselves

We are the greatest things that will ever happen to us. Believe it. It makes life much easier.
—Codependent No More

It is time to stop this nonsense of running around picking on ourselves.

We may have walked through much of our life apologizing for ourselves either directly or indirectly – feeling less valuable than others, believing that they know better than we do, and believing that somehow others are meant to be here and we are not.

We have a right to be here.

We have a right to be ourselves. We are here. There is a purpose, a reason, and an intention for our life. We do not have to apologize for being here or being who we are.

We are good enough, and deserving.

Others do not have our magic. We have our magic. It is in us.

It doesn’t matter what we’ve done in our past. We all have a past, woven with mistakes, successes, and learning experiences. We have a right to our past. It is ours. It has worked to shape and form us. As we progress on this journey, we shall see how each of our experiences will be turned around and used for good.

We have already spent too much time being ashamed, being apologetic, and doubting the beauty of ourselves. Be done with it. Let it go. It is an unnecessary burden. Others have rights, but so do we. We are neither less than nor more than. We are equal. We are who we are. That is whom we were created and intended to be.

That, my friend, is a wonderful gift.

God, help me own my power to love and appreciate myself. Help me give myself validity instead of looking to others to do that.

Meditation for the Day

We cannot fully understand the universe. The simple fact is that we cannot even define space or time. They are both boundless, in spite of all we can do to limit them. We live in a box of space and time, which we have manufactured by our own minds and on that depends all our so-called knowledge of the universe. The simple fact is that we can never know all things, nor are we made to know them. Much of our lives must be taken on faith.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that my faith may be based on my own experience of the power of God in my life. I pray that I may know this one thing above all else in the universe.

#13 – Fork in the Road….

13-Fork-In-The-Road

FORK IN THE ROAD

TIME TO MAKE A DECISION; CONSIDERING THE CONSEQUENCES AS YOU PREPARE TO ACT; OWNING UP TO YOUR OBLIGATION TO MAKE A NECESSARY CHOICE.

GUIDANCE

The Oracle’s message: Every choice has a consequence. You’ve arrived at a fork in the road and are being asked to come to a decision. Will you further your dreams by choosing left? Or by choosing right? Will you take the road less traveled or the one well worn by others who have come before you? This is your choice, and yours alone, to make. Circumstances and other people will not make it for you. Be present, and do not avoid this junction, for it is an important crossroads. Take heart, as no matter which path you choose, you will have a rich and meaningful experience. Relationship message: You’ve reached a moment of truth in the evolution of your relationship. Which will you choose: to open up to the possibility of love, or to remain isolated; to go deeper and commit to mutual passion, or to walk away? This is a time to take responsibility for your truest desire and follow it. Be honest with yourself about what you’re willing to do, invest, and give. Then choose. You cannot make a wrong choice. If you move forward with a relationship, know that it will be based in truth and authenticity. You will have made a conscious decision rather than simply hanging on because you don’t want to be alone—or ending things because you’re afraid of the intensity of genuine connection. All roads lead to the lessons you must learn in your relationships. Regardless of the decision you make, it will place you on the path to a truer experience of the heart. Prosperity message: You’ve come as far as you can on this part of your journey, and now you’re faced with a choice. Inherent in this choice is the need for change, for evolution, and for a bettering of your circumstances. Narrow it down to just a single question: Who do I need to become, and what do I need to believe, in order to live a life of prosperity? Answer honestly and from the heart. Then the decision about which way to go will be effortless. Know that abundance is all around you. Choose to see it, and it will be easier to settle on a direction, for the way will be made clear by your intuition, which knows how to steer you toward your well-being.

Listening to the Whispers….

As I trudge along the road in this journey of mine, I sometimes wonder if I travelling the path I was meant to take. There are those times, including today, when I can wonder if I’ve taken a completely wrong turn without knowing it.  And then there are those “signs” that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

I had a good friend text me this afternoon asking how I was doing.  I had my phone plugged up to its charger and didn’t see her message.  I was on Instagram posting my pics and she reached me there.  She just wanted to know how I was doing, admitting she was a bit worried when I didn’t respond to her messages.

I assured her that I was doing Ok and also thanked her for taking the time to ask.  She knows a lot about my past and was perhaps worried that I had fallen back into that lifestyle.  Given the fact I haven’t posted anything on FB in over three weeks, she was just concerned.

After I messaged her several times, I saw the messages on my phone.  I returned the messages at that point, explaining that I hadn’t looked at my phone since it was charging.  She sent me a pic of one of her children’s school agenda with the number 23 on it….that is her child’s student number in the class. I thought it was totally awesome that she had messaged me on the 23rd and that was something she had to share.

Later in the afternoon, I went to Barnes and Noble and ordered an iced tea and refill.  My total bill was $4.44.  It just so happens that this is my friend’s favorite number combination.  Of course I had to message her back and include a picture as well.  The connections were quite amazing.

A friend I hadn’t her from in a long time messages me to check on me…she said she didn’t realize it was the 23rd…at least that’s not why she did it.  And later on in the day, I see her number combination.  She and I share a favorite quote: “There are no coincidences.”  Today we see evidence of the connections that the two of us have that cannot be seen.  Confirmation that we are exactly where we are supposed to be at that moment in time.  And confirmation of a genuine friendship.
