Friday

It's Friday-the end of another work week for many. There's a sense of things slowing down for a couple of days, a sort of collective sigh of relief. We made it through another week. For me, Friday is a day off-the first day of my "weekend" and a time of reflection. Reflection on those things for which I give thanks over the past several days.

It's been another intense week for sure. With Uranus moving through the last degrees of Pisces, people have felt emotional, fragile, distressed. I've had more than one person-friends, family, students, and clients-call saying they feel their whole worlds are falling apart. Some are dealing with more serious challenges than others, but everyone is feeling unstable right now. Things are changing.

Okay-I feel it, too. I'm also dealing with my own Uranus things. I ask myself, though, at the end of each day, and again at the end of each week (Friday) what can I be grateful for? Oh, so much, my friends!

I dealt with two grown children in crisis over what they will do after law school. (These two were even fighting over which of them I'd be available for as they set up their own law practices!) I was able to be present for each child, listening to two very different descriptions of the same set of circumstances. Thankfully, too, I was able to leave it to them to work through their crisis with all the creativity each possesses.

I managed to talk my little momma into seeing an audiologist. She hasn't been able to hear anything in months. Today, after having her ears cleaned and ordering a hearing aid, she's thrilled that the house seems so noisy to her!

I was a help to my employer-someone who often feels as if he's carrying the load of an entire congregation of struggling Christians on his shoulders alone.

I shared an invocation to the Goddess with a friend, a channeled work with a fellow healer, love, support and concern. And I received so much more than I ever gave to any of them.

It's Friday-the end of another week. And as I sit here reflecting on the comings and goings during a very hectic time, I know that I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams because of the love, caring and sharing with friends and family.

Namaste!
