Keeping my eyes open so beautiful little things about life can slip in without me working or begging for them. The best gifts are never expected, they are surprises. I was taught most of my life that life, jobs, friends, and good things would never come looking for me, I had to “beat the bushes” go out and look for them. And to some extent that is right but it negated synchronicity and the opportunity for the universe to offer its unexpected gifts. It placed the “I do not deserve” mentality in the center of how I thought. When the universe “offers” answers I have to be able to recognize them. I have to have the strength and energy to open my heart and eyes enough to move toward those beautiful gifts….but I also have to recognize that as some of the things that comfort me and I have actively pursued begin to slip away, it may be to make room for other important gifts to arrive. I did not deserve this beautiful little wild iris in my backyard to arrive it just did without any effort on my part, a gift, a reminder, a lesson that all I had to do is open my eyes and see.
