When I was small my mother said to me that you have to appreciate what you have because there are people worse off than you. I have always lived my life not wanting fame or fortune. I always said to spirit, I will do whatever you want me to do as long as I have a roof over my families head, food on our tables, clothes upon our backs and to be able to enjoy little rewards for all the hard work they do and go through. In the midst of this time and especially the negativity that is going on in the world, I find I want just a little bit more. To keep my family safe and healthy and that this nightmare that feels we have been dragged into, will end so we can get on with working together and not separate. To find our peace again and unity. To not have to feel the fear and madness of what we are witnessing at this time and well as we all know the few things we all may want, begin to create a really long list.  

I have heard spirit say, "Appreciate this moment, you will see the rewards of it." It is through their words that I sit, think and feel the need to share them and most of all believe them.  We have seen in the past that moments like this create great change and in order to help foster that change we have to appreciate this moment for what it will give back to us, but we can't want more from it than what it is willing to give. We have to resist wanting that which will be given before it is ready. We want enough, but we also do not want to create situations that won't make it complete and perfect, for us all.  If we can appreciate that we have been given an opportunity to be stronger than we have been before. That we can see injustice in the world and even our own habits and behaviors that need to change. That ego and selfishness reveals the worst of society and kindness and selfless acts leave long remaining effects. That we start doing and being more creative and learn new things, find new work and new paths, these moments we have are more precious that we will ever know and that appreciating this moment will give us more than we will ever need.

Just appreciate this moment for what you will gain, even in the midst of feeling it so deeply. If you are patient and kind to it and yourself, you will move through this moment and come out of it all the better.

Blessings,

Steve
