Thursday of Spring Break began with a thirty minute 5:30 am Jazzercise class, followed by 45 minutes on the Eliptical, while reading fascinating angel stories by Doreen Virtue. A call soon came from my very own angel, granddaughter Sierra, asking me to join her and her mom at the IHOP for breakfast. Before the pancakes were consumed Sierra announced, “I want to go with Grandma,” and shortly thereafter we were off to visit my brother and his horses.
We had only petted a couple of the horses when soon we were all on the ground searching for four leaf clovers. My brother would effortlessly find them left and right, while I found none. I searched and searched through mounds of clover, patch after patch, and still found none. Both my brother and daughter had handfuls by now. My daughter even found a five leaf clover and was thrilled. As we were walking back to the house and to our cars, I looked down and finally found a four leaf clover. Whew, finally!
We said our goodbyes, they got into their car, and I walked to mine. Curiously as I opened my door and took my seat I spied a healthy cluster of clover just outside my car door. I paused just a moment to gently examine the clover, and there I sat in my seat finding one, then another, then another. Everybody laughed at how from the comfort of my seat I found six four leaf clovers and one five leaf clover. They were there all along, right in front of me, and I didn’t see them.
My daughter and granddaughter have long since gone, and now I sit and look in awe at the beautiful bouquet of clover on my desk. I think about what Esther Hicks teaches, “Life is not supposed to be hard.” Yes, I was making it hard, searching and searching for the clover. It was only when I relaxed that I found they were there right in front of me all along. How did I miss seeing them? What other things am I missing in life because I am trying too hard?
Wait a minute, what was that daily message from Abraham Hicks this morning? I go back to my deleted files to re-examine it…
“Life is supposed to be fun. You did not say, ‘I’ll go forth and struggle into joy,’ because from your Nonphysical Perspective you know it is vibrationally not possible. You cannot struggle to joy. Struggle and joy are not on the same channel. You joy your way to joy. You laugh your way to success. It is through your joy that good things come.”
Thank you little clovers for teaching me an important lesson on this beautiful Spring day.
