An excerpt from this morning's reading mediation (It's one of my favorites):


Mantra to use when one is lost in fear and depression:

Emmanuel - Book II

...without even knowing the meaning of it, you say with every inhalation, "I choose love here. I choose love," you will see the light change and the darkness dispel.

Your mind may say, "I don't know what happened. All I did was sit here for 15 minutes choosing love. "Well, mind that is all that is required."

The lifeline, the golden rope is to know there is such a thing as love and in that moment, you are empowered to choose it...even if your heart is breaking and you feel on the edge of collapse, say "I choose love." By this mantra you silence the lifelong mantra that would choose fear.

And, if fear seems to follow...

Hold fear in one hand. Hold love in the other. Holding both, choose love, and choose love again.

Fear is the frightened child
Love is flame of holy remembering...


Have a wonderful day, everyone. May it be blessed with the love that you are, the love that you bring, and may your heart burn bright with the divine flame that brought you to being.

Namaste

So far, I'm continuing to maintain between 118-120 lbs. I'm happy to be back up from 117 lb after being sick. Not that it's a bad weight, but I truly feel good at this weight range. Mom's surgery is coming up in a few weeks. My brother is apparently going to come stay the first 3 days. If this is true, I confess it really does take a little pressure off, especially post surgery.

It's springtime now and there is a bit more to do outside of just cooking, cleaning, and providing meals and other care post-op. On top of training in the gym, I can't guarantee I won't dip lower than 118. I know some days, I'll be happy just to get food in. But, I don't want to start dipping in weight now before her surgery has even happened.

I could sit here and say, I won't let myself get lower than...but, I've done that before and my body just goes "whatever..."

So, I'll just say I'm going to do the best I can to fuel sufficiently for the activity ahead, take my meds and supplements, nurture the wellness of my being and let the scale weight fall where it does and pray on all that is holy and divine, if I do lose that not a single bit of is muscle.

Sometimes, all ya can do is pray :-)
