Fueled

Today was a very full day.  There were a few ‘chores’ sprinkled throughout, but much of the day was spent with friends.  I had a walk and lunch with one friend.  Turns out today was the final day of her divorce.  I was shocked to hear that.  Just one of those “coincidences” - and there were several more during the morning.   It was good to be with her today.

As I was rushing home to shower and change for my next appointment, I noticed Pippy’s fuel gauge at the 1/8 full level.  I knew I could make it to the next destination on that amount, but I would have greater peace of mind (and not have to fill up later tonight) if I fuelled then.

As I was pumping the gasoline, I was feeling guilty about spending several hours today just being with people who “fuel me”.  I should be working on taxes, repairing things around the house, dealing with rental properties, etc.  - not “goofing off”.  Then I thought about the truck and how it needs regular fuelling and servicing to keep it running.  Does our spirit need that as well?  I feel that when MY gas tank is full, then I have the energy to go places and do things for other people.

As I was returning the nozzle to its holder, I remembered about Penny Finding and spoke to the Angels.  “Hello.  Uhhh… I’ve got a pretty full day today and don’t really want to spend any time searching.  If you want a coin to be found, could you please do it here before I leave?  Thank You”.  I looked to the left of the pump and within 10 seconds I had a penny!  I walked to the Driver’s side of the truck, opened the door and began to sit down.  Then noticed a penny approximately 5 ft. from the truck.  That’s their 2¢ Worth for today!!!

This evening I spent time with a wonderful friend and it was non-stop discussions on dozens of topics.  For a few hours I was able to “Live in the Moment” and just enjoy the re-charging.

Question:  What re-refuels YOUR spirit?  A walk in a park? Time with an animal?  Exercise? Warming other people’s hearts?  ARKs  (Acts of Random Kindness)?
