Pay it forward........

So....the trick is to bring all the positive from yesterday into today, leaving the negative there. However the negatives are laden with blessings and lessons that must be squeezed out, akin to a sticky sponge. I am getting better at this, yet something always sticks. The sticky woman I love is the big one.

As I sat in the rainy darkness a while ago squeezing sponges, the flow of positives began. Like priming a pump with a cupful of water, the thirsty can drink now. The blessings of yesterday are several. I was hotseated by loving women at the Northwest Indian Treatment Center and hired on the spot. TB test and off to the clinic to piss in a cup. Last night, I circled up with 13 loving women and meditated for an hour. So many women yesterday, something is going on.

A man called me yesterday in the midst of it all. I was at Raven's Brew Coffee and Books in Shelton, looking for a Raven cap looking at cards. I stepped outside, sat on a bench and listened. He said he shared a story I wrote about my father, The Blacksmith, with his men's group last night. They all cried. He said that each man will share a story of their his father in future meetings. He honored me for what my story brought up for him and the other men. I began to cry as a woman pulled up in a car and looked at me through her windshield. As my tears were joyful, the woman smiled at me knowingly. A loving woman.

Yesterday was a very good day for me. Soon I will begin working graveyard in a place I believe I am supposed to be. The money sucks and no benefits, yet it matters not as my foot is in a new doorway. A doorway that offers benefits of the soul. As I look at the fortune from a cookie I ate last week, it says, "You will soon be asked to join a team. Work cooperatively".
