Dear Friends,
I have a floor plug in my living room floor. There are three of them I think, but two of them are hidden under a rug, but one of them is in a very strange and awkward place out in the middle of the floor. To cover it with a rug would mean a larger rug (too large for the area I believe). I can’t put a piece of furniture on it. That would be weird. I could have it removed, but matching the floor would be tricky since the sun has made the floor the beautiful faded version of what it once was. What to do? “Just don’t look at it,” I say to myself every time I look at it. “OK, so feel different when you look at it.” Right. Been working on that one. Honestly, this is the most beautiful room I have ever owned. Outside views are really wonderful. The furniture is inviting and lovely. How I love being in this room. Except for that one thing. That one awkward, terribly placed floor plug. I sort of resent it. The plug I mean. Who would think that was a good idea? What were they thinking? How could anyone think it is a good idea?
I know, for sure, that this floor plug is not unlike many other insignificant, characteristics of so many things. Things that get my attention; that are not important, and that diminish my awareness of what really is important. Every subject in my life is sort of like this room and all of its beauty—including this floor plug. There have been times in my life when I had to look hard for the beauty because it seemed small in comparison with the bigger dominant terribleness of a problem. So, I’m aware, in this moment, that everything about everything is just how we are focused, and how we are feeling, and then what we do about focusing, and then how that feels, and so on. I know the plug is silly, and truly insignificant. And yet, it has my attention and that does matter. So, I just made a note on a pretty little pink bordered card and dropped it in my Creation Box. “The floor plug is my friend.”
Another Abraham NOW broadcast will happen this coming Saturday where they will discuss with you the things that are important to you. They always say, “nothing is off limits.” They also always say, “whatever it is, that is on your mind, will be addressed.” If you would like to join in, click here!
Our love,
