Over the weekend I read something that has now officially changed me...
This is the inspirational quote that captured my attention and has me chewing on the the meaning for the past few days~
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain
source: unkown
I silently keep chanting this quote over and over...
throughout my day!
I can't say it enough
I want the words to seep into every fiber of my being
I never, ever want to forget it!
It made me take pause...
it's already reminded me to think before I react...
especially when reacting seem so much easier
Life is already colorfully busy
there are days that feel "stormy"
but now I see it so differently
it's not about just making it through the busy days
and falling into bed saying thankgoodness the day is done...
it's so much more...
it's how I accomplished it
with a calm voice
gentle heart
&
joy!
So, last night as I scrapped all four bowls of veggie chile into the trash can
I was chanting my new quote...
the phone rang
i picked up the phone to hear my husband's voice on the other end...
he asked me how my day was, the chickadees day, school etc, etc..
&
I could help but smile
I was able to see the joy...
I began to laugh thinking how busy everything is especially when he's away
so I said,
I'm dancing with a bowl of chili
&
I'll be dancing around the kitchen with a pot of veggie chili
all by myself for an entire week!

Monday morning mass, the Pastor asked this:
ARE WE JUST TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE DAY, OR ARE WE LIVING EACH DAY???
and now your quote...
God is trying to tell me something here, isn't here?
Pass me a bowl of that chilli, Lulu...I'm going to dance along with you!
(and your call with your out of town hubby was better than my call with my out of town hubby...he was going out drinking...hmm...maybe I should get a job that travels???)
Love this -- thanks for sharing!
Enjoy your chili!!

....she smiles,
as she thinks of
the bowl of confetti
rice that she scraped
into the trash after
dinner....well, you
have to kiss a lot
of frogs, right??...
Now I'll start dancing
through those moments
of frustration : )
Thanks, LuLu!
