Ever take time to consider how blessed you are? When I experience spiritual amnesia, I too forget. At the moment, I have my left leg propped up on a pillow, since it has been crying out for my attention over the past few days. I had knee surgery a few decades ago following a torn meniscus and still feel tweaks and twinges. I walk a lot and work out on the elliptical, cybex and bicycle at Planet Fitness. According to Louise Hay, knee issues are\u00a0about fear of moving forward. I consider that on target for my life circumstances at the moment. There are so many opportunities that are presenting themselves for my perusal and I honor them all. I know that I want to progress, and take my creative work to the next level, AND there are times when I feel myself frozen and distracted. It occurred to me that knees are about ‘needs’ as well and I have for too long, been ignoring my own needs, believing erroneously that I am so self sufficient that I don’t need support from anyone. Lately, I have been asking for support from the Universe and the people in it and the response has been a resounding YES! So, what keeps me from asking more often?\u00a0 Again, erroneous belief that I don’t want to inconvenience other people (heaven forbid!) and yet, I sometimes feel as if I have a swinging door (think Western saloon) that people move through with regularity that has me dancing too fast to keep up with the expectations.<\/p>\n

Perhaps another metaphor is the idea of getting down on\u00a0my knees in gratitude for what IS working in\u00a0my life and things that are as\u00a0I would have them be. I have a huge list and just this weekend, was playing the “How much more blessed could I be?” game. \u00a0At every turn, I found myself attracting perfect parking spots, prizes, and\u00a0‘chance’ meetings with new friends. I have continued it today and at the moment, am sending that energy to my knee.<\/p>\n

I am feeling exceptionally blessed that I can stand, walk, dance, stretch, do yoga even in the midst of the ouchies. I am grateful for an abundance of love, family, friends,\u00a0 as well as work that I love that sustains me every which way imaginable.<\/p>\n

I will listen to my knee and follow its guidance about ‘kneeds’ that are going unmet in my life.<\/p>\n
