In an effort to be more aware;
1.) I noted today that someone has worn the same pair of pants each day for 2 weeks in a row. This statement would only be bitchy if I made some sort of catty comment-I’ll refrain since I have no other connection to this person other than my observation. A collection of pants might not be high on her list of necessities.
2.) I also was aware that between the hours of 10:36 and 11:45, the same person loudly cleared his throat 14 times. Update at 5:00 (29 times.)
3.) Yes, I read my horoscope daily. I’ll use the awareness angle that there are alternate sources of divine intervention and I’m not one to discriminate.
(The above comments may feel contrary to the “discriminate statement”. I’m really ok with people who have scratchy throats and those who choose to be unbothered by clothing rotation. I secretly wish I was more comfortable with these facets of my own life.)
4.) Be aware that there are online retailers who actually give a rip. Despite the bad “customer service” rap, here’s a tale:
I ordered a birthday present online yesterday at NOON, I received the item TODAY at 10 a.m. The best part, besides the lightning speed of its arrival, the site offered FREE SHIPPING. Not just FREE to get the damn things to me (and to me via OVERNIGHT when I hadn’t paid for it), but FREE for me to return them should little Miss not like them. Is this not world-class?? In fact, I think this is “Fairy-topia” in the shipping world.
5.) Be aware that there is a substantial reason for each person and thing to be in your life.
I received this fantastic, right-up-my-alley, perfect belated birthday present yesterday from the Possibility family. I love it when people really know you and what you’ll like.
This is no ordinary bracelet. This tiny piece of jewelry embodies the essence of; hope, rehabilitation, possibility (go figure), and change PLUS style, uniqueness, and recycled material. She had no idea (or maybe she did), but I really love this!!
And
6.) Realize that some people need “in your face” proof to believe things.
OR
7.) Marketing tactics work for a reason.
I read another blog in preparation for the big “nest exit” (see my horoscope above).
Originalgood.com, the maker of this perfect present, is a great example of telling a story to sell a product.
I’m patiently waiting for the arrival of the piece #2.
I’m a sucker for a story, good packaging, and something handmade.
I’m quite sure Eckhart did not mean for us to hone this type of awareness. But, I figure, if it pauses the continuous loop of the serenity prayer going through my head, then any type of awareness can be beneficial.
Noticing = Living.

Today’s wisdom:
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe you're not totally ready for a venture. But it's probably too late to go back, so you may as well go forward. The universe is your momma bird, energetically nudging you out of the nest.

“HELLO!!!”, she says with relief and heavy sarcastic undertones.
