Monday Morning Wake Up Call

The construction crew at the marina behind my house got an early start this morning. I pried my eyeballs open and glanced at the clock...0710...ugh! I rolled over and put a pillow over my head in an attempt to drown out the noise. I really wanted to be aggravated and pissed off that I was awake. I was having a really good dream, too! I lay there for a short while, and decided that maybe there was a reason for me to be up. Maybe instead of starting the day with a negative attitude, I should embrace the day and all good things the Universe is bringing me this moment. I crept down the hall and looked in on my two sleeping beauties who were oblivious to all the commotion happening just outside their window. I smiled and gave thanks for them—my greatest joy.

Right now, for me, it takes a conscious effort to maintain an upbeat, happy attitude. Perhaps with a little work and some consistency, it will eventually become something that comes as naturally as breathing. Worry and negativity are wasted emotions, I know. They weigh down your spirit and rob you of your energy. So, for today anyway, I made a choice to let happiness override my initial knee jerk reaction to start the day being mad because a bulldozer woke me up. Hell...maybe that is some kind of message. Hey Traci...this is the Universe...been trying to get you to wake up so that I can make all your dreams come true, but you have to actually be awake in order to receive them!! Yep, time to clear out the cobwebs, shake off the funk and start participating in my life. Like attracts like and nothing great will ever come to me if my attitude doesn't reflect it first.

Sometimes it just takes a bulldozer to wake you up!
