Death by Satisfaction OD


"There are some days when I think I am going to die from an overdose of satisfaction." ~Salvador Dali

I have written here before about the doors that have been opening in my life for the past several months. Today another opportunity arose and I walked through it. I really should not have because it was a 12-hour effort and my to-do list is long this weekend but at the same time, I am so grateful I did. I was invited out of town to see an artist's outdoor gallery with a number of other visual artists and then join them for supper at an amazing home for a healthy supper.

I drove out after a reflexology appointment that went well. During the drive, I had an hour to think about a few things going on in my life before meeting up with the others. As I walked around the gallery, I was aware of my gratitude for this opportunity. As we gathered at the other home for supper, I discovered a blessing for future--a little retreat space that would be perfect to sleep, write, dream, and be at. I could see myself there quite easily and joyfully.

There is a whole other way of living that artists carve out for ourselves that I am learning to embrace. The door opens to a myriad of mazes and I must choose which halls to walk down but I sense that each of them have a number of comfortable rooms along the way.

Grateful tonight as I head to bed.

Peace,

Suzanne
