Rabbit Habits - Spirit Animal

I was sitting at a stop light on a very busy street, when a movement along the road caught my eye.  There was a small, brown bunny hopping from one patch of clover grass to another, without any concern for the traffic.  Bunny was on the outside boulevard between the main road and a service road.  The boulevard had to be about four feet wide.  When it needed a rest, it hopped over to a bush and lay down, stretched out, and dozed.

Since I had to sit through two lights, I had time to observe Bunny.  After a short doze, maybe three minutes, she hopped up, and went back to grazing.  Her habits seemed to be:

• ignore the traffic noise
• find the best food – new clover and new grass
• get plenty of rest
• understand where my boundaries are

I thought about what people could learn from Bunny’s habits.  

   -ignore what you can’t change

  -eat what is healthy and good for you

  -rest when you are tired or when your body sends signals for you to rest

  -look at what boundaries keep you locked in to a repetitive routine

Have a “hoppy” day!

Many blessings,

Judy

Happy vs Unhappy

From the site - https://jessicadimas.com/spiritual-quotes/

I was reading an article about a First Nations village in Northern Alberta that had to be evacuated because the fire was coming so quickly.  Many had dogs in their families.  The evacuation team said that after the people were settled safely, they would come back for the dogs.  Before the helicopters got back, another village was under evacuation order and the helicopters never got back.  Three people stayed to look after the sixty dogs hoping that the fire would not wipe them all out.  Five days later, the people were allowed to return.  All rushed to find their dogs and according to the eye witnesses, many cried tears of joy.

It made me think about happy people.  Happy people are filled with love and joy and have an abundance of both to share with others.  I know because I am lucky enough to have several very happy friends.  They are always working on little projects and learning new things.  I have never heard them blame anyone else or any circumstance for their place in life.

Many blessings,

How Important Is Our Stuff In The Overall Universal Plan?

Image is from https://www.womansday.com/life/a39788446/spiritual-quotes/

Over the years, one of the very important lessons that I have learned is that our daily lives, the work that we do in a corporation or the fights/wars that we battle for others, has very little significance to the Universe.

Yes, we do need to work to make money to have food and shelter and clothes, yet at the end of the day, when our families are gone long after we are gone, no one remembers those things. The Universe is interested in the love that we show each other.  She/he/it wants to see balance and compassion and a love of Nature.  Mindfulness is also interesting to the Universe as is the ability to detach from emotional situations and become the observer.  

I am still adapting to all the instances that are of Universal interest.  Where are you on the journey?

Many blessings,

Judy
