Daily Draw: Druid Animal Oracle ~ Wren
The Wren recognizes humility and faith, noting all things are beautiful. One of the greatest and most appreciated changes came about in my life when I began noting three things I had counted as blessings.
For the first couple of weeks I counted my husband, home, family, health, pets, maybe the weather if it was exceptional...and then like a ton of bricks it finally sank in that life is crammed with blessings, they run out our ears, and most of them never make a blip on our brains we are so blind and self-centered.
I'm reminded by this card of
the nickel in the parking lot
good windshield wipers
brooms and dustpans
candle light
smiles from strangers
coupons
purring cats
being able to read and write
electricity
the knowledge of the world at our fingertips
childhood memories
water
sand dollars
books
ink pens in many colors
ditto paper
sticky notes and 3M
Tire companies that still in this day and age do free services
The vehicle T-bone that almost happened...but didn't
I could go on for days.
All the everyday small things that I in my blindness never acknowledged, never said a whisper of thanks for, happening around me and to me. It made someone one who was far too negative and sullen into someone who is grateful to be alive, and filled with joy.
Anyone can be happy for a few minutes, joy fills your soul and stays for the duration. And yes, I now say thanks for the bad stuff too, there is always a lesson to be learned.
