REMINDERS
By Cornelia Powell | July 24, 2009
Will refers to her as Lil’ Ina in his emails. Although I haven’t met her in person, every time I see that picture, she feels as close as if she lived here. Her parents are bringing her to visit soon — back to her roots, as I see it. I call her our “little mountain girl” because she was conceived when her mom and dad were visiting me last July for my birthday celebration. Hmmmm. Maybe that’s why this July birthday felt even more special … this smiling little soul is now in the world.
I’m surrounded by things here in my cozy mountain cabin — collected bits of antique lace, my grandmother’s Victorian cabbage-rose lamp, favorite books — as well as glorious views, smells, and energies of nature that are all reminders of the many blessings I have. And now there is this sweet face in the photograph beaming at me every day as well! The perfect cue for me to smile and be grateful.
What do you have in your life that is or that you can claim as a reminder that all is well — no matter the circumstances that may be swirling about? Sometimes we just need a little prompt to remember that today is a divine, blessed, infinitely abundant day! And sometimes it’s as simple as declaring it so. And then, so it is.
