It is…Sunday, March 9, Two-Thousand and Twenty-Jive. Time...Intrigued

Theme – Mind Over Matter

 It's been too many days sionce I styarted this and I am sure there was a story. I will talk more on this in the next post because some therapy related examples happened today.

Lesson – Blessing in Disguise

 In a video recently, I talked about The Accident and how it was all part of the plan. It was also a blessing of sorts. Or, rather, blessings were born from it. That is how I feel about The Stroke - it was all part of the plan and, ultimately, a blessing.

Observation – Hallucinations

On Monday of this week, I had to go for a blood test first thing in the morning. I was still stressing my rent situation. I was walking out the door and from the corner of my eye I spotted what I believed was a dime. I sighed a bit of relief - as I believe dimes are a way The Universe tries to communicate. When I looked, it wasn't a dime. It wasn't even a coin. Just a trick of the mind. As I turned into the parking lot of the center where the testing facility is, I saw a sign. I read 'TRUST.' It actually was 'TRUIST' - the name of a bank. Both moments were relief followed by disappointment. It was after much contemplation that I came to a realization. These two moments were not just random Hallucinations - tricks of the mind. No. Instead they were G-d working with what was available to convey a message. I was in panic mode andthere was no time to completely manipulate the universe, so G-d used illusion to get through. And it turns out that the message was accurate.

The Post

 It is extremely late on Sunday and I am just beginning to write. It was a rough week. A very rough week. But in a good way. I am, what Harry Chapin would have called, "good tired." [And I can sleep the sleep of the just.]

Earlier this week, I saw a meme that read, "March 4th is the only day that tells me what to do." It took me a hot minute [I can be slow at times] but when I caught it, I liked it very much. Especially with my current journey.

Marching forth is what I must do right now. There is no advancement without movement, effort, and exertion. It's how I heal. Like my one PT said, it's a constant realignment of Goals. I find a hurdle I must get over - something I must, or want to, do. For example, Climbing a step ladder or what we call dancing. I can only do these things again by doing them now. One Step at a Time. Once I accomplish a thing I am automatically on to a new thing. After stepping up three steps on the later a few times I knew I had to go higher. When I got higher and was shifting things around, I realized that the next 'thing' was just that. I need to be able to go as high as necessary and still be able to turn, bend, twist, carry, lift - without losing my balance or hold.

March Forth.

But, also, that is the general course of life - especially during periods of healing. It's at these times we really must put the past - relationships, regrets, victories, fears, mindsets, habits - behind us and look to the now which leads to the future. Life doesn't happen by moving backwards.

March Forth.

[2327 - I was interrupted by a very intense Ghost Hunt through The Homestead. I will talk about that in a bit. As much as I don't want to I need to go to bed so I can try to push my life back onto the tracks tomorrow morning.]

OK. I'm back. It's actually Tuesday morning now and I will probably have to write some this afternoon. I have therapies later this morning.

Back to March 4th.

So, not only do I like the word play but March 4th is also the day I learned that I have been approved for Disability. This was a big relief and the news came just in time what with last weekend's message from Brother John.

I'm not completely out of the water yet. That payment is not scheduled to come until May 3rd. I don't know exactly how many or which months will be included in that first payment. I figure it will at be at least mid-November through April. But it might also include May and possibly June. [If I understand correctly each payment is for the following month. I.e., June is for July.]

Now, all I need is for Brother John to accept that timeframe.

My other concern or consideration is that with my current payment arrangement, I must pay my taxes in full by April 15th. No extensions or payment plans or anything of the sort.

Once the relief of the disability came about [because it was overwhelmingly stressful] the rest of my week was mostly therapies and cleaning the house - setting up for the gathering. It was a lot of work for a while then rest for a while.

I got it all done in time though and the gathering was a success. It ended up just being four of us. But that worked out to be pretty perfect for the evening. We chatted and laughed and a good time was had by all.

On Sunday, I had a luncheon to attend and most of my day was spent resting and recovering.
