Yesterday I started early. I woke and meditated as I do every day, during meditation I realised I am meant to work on the Spirit animals of Iberia.
I took Paws and Benny for a walk as the sun rose, seeing Eagle reminding me to keep a higher perspective during my day. So I turned my phone on to listen to some Rev. Johnnie Colemon.
I got home and let the chooks out. Breakfast time for all but me, I needed to wash up first so I listened to Carl Munson, who was wondering about the meaning of a spririt animal.
Just as I finished washing pots, about to make breakfast and Mumtaz arrived to look after the babies so I could take Veevee for her test.
I set off, listening to Rev Johnnie and thankfully by the time I reached the city, I welcomed the opportunity to get a Breakfast bar and do the recycling before my appointment.
I arrived at the test center with 5 minutes to spare and queued up. I hadn't fully woken and fast Portuguese had me stunned and the woman was not impressed. I remembered, its all God. I took a breath and came back to kindness.
I remembered there is no thing wrong with me. I can and will learn Portuguese at my own pace, its a miracle I stand, see, walk and drive after the stroke and I do these things through the strength of my faith, knowing the God within us all.
I breathed in, and stood in my authority. I completed her questions and joined the line I was told. The empty one. Not a person in site. The other 2 lines busy. I wasn't going to let my mind get the better of me and take it personally.
I sat and affirmed it's all God, and I know no thing about why I was the only one in that queue sat doing nothing. Only that God is up to something. I came back to the hear and now.
Ten minutes later a guy came over, i greeted him in Portuguese. he spoke broken English. Awesome. I followed his instruction, answering in portuguese. I pointed out my cars own problems best I could.
Yes the car failed the test, but only just and what I need to meet the criteria is small jobs that won't cost much to put right. I'm so greatful.
I went to the supermarket on the way home. I got my friends shopping for her, and I noticed for 1 euro, a paint brush set and wood pallet, I had wanted one. And realising this was a blessing and a sign to get painting.
And I dropped off her shopping on the way home and collected her son. When we reached home, a feast was waiting for us, home made soup with noodles and lentils. It was so good. I am blessed.
After we ate, we spoke as our lunch settled. Then I set down to do my work, as I was guided, and wrote about the first animal spirit, Kingfisher..
