I’ve just returned from a trip home to Canada to visit my family. It’s been a long time & it was good to see everyone. It was also good to do hometown things like watch fireworks & a parade for Victoria Day.
My return trip was interesting. I was supposed to fly back on Wednesday morning but the flight was cancelled because a bird had flown into the engine so the plane was sidelined for maintenance concerns. The next flight out was 12 hours later. So what am I going to do in Detroit airport for 12 hours? I made a conscious choice to not be frustrated. I decided to think about who I could bless & how I could be blessed by this time. If there is a spiritual side to this – why had God put me here? What was I to do?
I spent a lot of time reading ‘Inspiration’ by Wayne Dyer http://www.hayhouse.com/details.php?id=3164
Listening to ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne http://www.thesecret.tv/
Meditating with paraliminals from Paul Scheele http://www.learningstrategies.com/Paraliminal/Home.asp
It was wonderful to have hours of personal time, something that I just don’t get in my regular life.
Around midnight I was in the airport in Vegas. The woman beside me had the sniffles & was blowing her nose on restaurant napkins. I’ve been there done that & it’s not pleasant. Thank God I am healthy. I blessed her with a new package of tissues.
It’s Friday morning now & I’m back home. I'm really thankful for hours & hours of personal time in the airport. I didn't think that it was going to be a blessing to be in Smith terminal in Detroit for 12 hours because it is so small. But that was part of the blessing - it was quiet & not crowded. I'm also thankful that I am becoming so much calmer, that I am able to confess positively & flow through events. I’m happy that I am growing as a person, becoming less anxious & learning more compassion.
Blessings,
Diana
