Day 14 of 400

LOL....sometimes I feel like the little old lady that speaks crazy talk and everyone around her just goes, "Aw, leave her alone. She's out of her head anyway." LOL Too Funny!!!! I am going to be the neighborhood crazy lady. Hey, but I'm cool with that because the one thing I learned growing up and listening to these so called "crazy" ladies is they were on to something. No, not on something....on to something. Their lives were full of experiences and rich beyond words.

Yesterday hubby and I had a wonderful day full of shopping and eating our way through Dallas, literally. LOL Our first stop was our little French Bistro in Richardson. We love this place. But while we were there employees were arguing to one another about how cheap the owner was in hiring a cleaning crew and that they were having to do it. I listened to the words and thought they should've taken this to the back.

As I sat there I was getting more and more upset in the fact that they were ruining my moment. And what do I always say, "No one does anything to you." So when the waiter comes over I inform him of my feelings. Lets just say I was abrupt and told him that it ruined the experience of the great food and that the fight should've been handled differently. Of course I told him how it should've been handled to. LOL

It wasn't until just a little later when it hit me what the whole incident meant. I love cooking for people. My joy comes from deep within my core and infuses food with love and light. I would rather bake you a cake, cookie or a dish rather than buy a store bought present, unless there is meaning there. Otherwise, I just won't purchase it to be purchasing it.

I realized that when I am in the kitchen cooking my heart out that there are times when I get angry at the little things, the little messes, the little spills,or mishaps. It was then that I realized what the wait staff was trying to reflect to me and here it is. Keep anger to the back of all situations and allow the love to flow forward because this will bring peace and calm to any situation. No matter what it is. Being angry only allows for more anger. And if you are doing what you love then you can always clean up any mistakes later. LOL...sounds like words to live by.

So the key is this....Do what you love and clean up after yourself when you are done. LOL

Ego statement for the situation:
The waiters are standing in front of everyone arguing and this makes me feel angry. I think they should be taking this to the back where no one can see this going on. I'm gaining frustration and losing my cool.

Spirit statement:
I move forward in union and feel happy because I know I move forward in calm and peace.

Hubby got something out of the argument too. He learned by the message of what he was hearing that he doesn't take charge of situations until it's too late. He allows things to happen around him even when he knows he should be doing something. So it was a good day for both of us and our afternoon was full of good food, good conversation, and great shopping. Shopping is something we both don't do really well, but really enjoyed it yesterday.

For now enjoy your life. Know that this year brings many new ideas and energy with it. Don't worry about where other people are headed or going in their life but only your own. Because if you are worried about where everyone or anyone else is going what you are reflecting is you are unsure where you are heading.
