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)?
