Like the weather

Ever feel like the weather? Some days warm, others chilly? Today it was 27 degrees; week before last in the seventies. Some days my thoughts come freely, other times I'm in quagmire. I am preparing for a presentation May 1 and it feels as if I am going in circles trying to figure out how to say what I want to present. One of my friends, after a recent talk  I gave and knowing how well it went said, "see, it didn't do any good to fret about it!"

I might be fretting but more than that I am trying to simply do a good job, being clear with information I will be sharing. For me, it is different than simply giving information, like I did while working in healthcare assisting patients with advance directives.  Now, I must listen to a quiet, still voice inside of me, that I look to for guidance.  I ask God to assist me in saying something that will be received by my listeners.  Hopefully, what I share will help others in some way, something that might nurture their own spirit. 

Some days it helps to get my hands dirty in the soil, "play in the dirt", rake leaves as I listen and wait. Today, though, I need a jacket on...it's still cold out but I know it will warm up!! I hope soon...May 1 is coming!
