Dreams Of Pringle Machines and My New Friend Zig
This morning has been great! Nice to wake up with a feeling of Hope and a promise of a new day. Austin woke me up asking if we could have a pringles
vending machine in our house and of course I said yes! I really cant see why not. I asked what kind it would carry and he said original and sour cream and onion. My only request is for pizza flavor and he said yes so its a deal!! I asked if he had a dream about one and he said yes mom and boy was it nice.
Nothing like a great creative dream to get the imagination going. I am sure deep inside Austin knows the chances are slim that we would be getting one soon but he loves it that I never say no to a day or even night dream. I guess that is why his imagination and dreams have stayed alive. I just cant help myself I by no way never want to be a dream stealer!! There are enough other people out there waiting to do that so never let it be said a Mother would crush her baby's dream of a pringle machine!!
On to other things took a walk this morning after starting to read "See You At The Top" by Zig Ziglar. I am sure I have read this before but somehow it found its way back in my hands yesterday at the library and I am so glad it did! I am already starting to like my new friend "Zig" what a delight to wake up with his words pouring into my soul over a great cup of herbal tea.
He does make a new day feel like the first day of the rest of my life. Boy have I said those words a million time and probably have restarted my life a couple times now that I think of it. Yesterday when watching an old "Wayne Dryer" video he talked about maybe not believing in reincarnation but he does see in his own life that he has had many bodies and many lives. This really got me thinking about that and it really open my heart to a new way of thinking of what I once thought of as my failures. They were like mini deaths not poor attempts at a good life. In every story of victory there are always many obstacles and challenges. Even "Joseph Campbell" talks about the Hero's Journey" and that it is never an easy one. So when did I pick up that life here was spouse to be a straight shot to happiness and success? Guess Zig is right sometimes our stinkin thinking comes from outside ourselves. maybe I have lived many lives in this one body with many Hero's journey and now it is time to take another one! I sure like the sound of that better than. "Great Justine look at the mess you made again and you are no further to your goal of a good life then you where 4 years ago".. YUCK what a bad taste that leaves in my mouth and what a pain in my heart. I like the thought of a new adventure around the corner! Some how that puts a skip in my walk and a song in my heart. and who knows maybe there is a pringle machine just waiting for a good home!!
Well with that I am off to eat some breakfast maybe watch a movie and spend the day getting to know myself a little better and listening to my new friend Zig remind me of the things I once taught about but since i have been sick forgotten.. Feels like he is rekindling an old part of me to go on this new adventure and what more can I ask for on a beautiful Thursday morning!!
