Act on the Signs

It’s not the easiest to do.

Listen, I’m always in a hurry. Who isn’t in that fast-paced life? The sooner I get somewhere, the sooner I can get somewhere else. Yep, I’ve had a couple of speeding tickets in my time.

Backstory: Have I mentioned I’ve been a racecar driver in a previous life?

I’ve learned I have plenty of time for everything. And so do you!

Seriously, there’s this road that takes you from Cassadaga [Spiritualist Camp] to Lake Helen; there’s an S-curve. I came around one of the corners and hit the side of a garbage can. I realized later it took my passenger side mirror out. Dang!

And for once I was traveling at the correct speed, or less. A couple of friends said, ‘Slow down.’ I laughed. Duct tape is awesome, bright pink is not – people would definitely see me coming then. LOL

I bought black duct tape and ordered the part, which got cancelled four days later, on the delivery date. Nice.

Being me, I looked at the spiritual aspect of this. It occurred to me that I should really let certain situations go that have happened in the past. Sometimes, we think we have already let them go, but maybe not deep down. Introspect.

Because my mirror was duct taped on, I decided to take the long way to get to my daughter’s home. Talk about slowing down. After a while, it felt good not to be driving amidst the chaos of Interstate 4. I took the slower route to Bunell as well.

Of course, while taking the road to Lake Helen, I noticed other garbage cans hanging on the road. I almost thought to go back to take a photo, and I still might. Hmm.

When I received the part a day after ordering through Amazon, we had bands of rain coming through our area. Patience, Lori, patience. Finally, days and three hours later with the help of several others the new mirror was on.

I have to admit I couldn’t wait to zoom down the road to get there faster. But now, I really do like taking the back roads, less chaotic.

The mirror is black, no longer silver. My Virgo rising ways noticed that it’s a little more circular than the original. It’s my new way of looking into the past.

That story is acting on the signs.

It’s the little things in life that assist us in making change. Think about that.

Working on the little things assists with bringing the bigger things into manageable change.

We’ve got this thing we call life!

Blessing of Peace and Love
