Hello friends,
Well, I'm terribly relieved that the frantic energy of last week is finally behind me. This Monday started out as with a fresh page in a Journal -- clean and transparent! I wonder why I chose those particular words, hmmm? It must have something to do with simply letting of of the previous week and deciding to give up some of the loose ends over to the Creator. If I can't fix 'everything in my life' -- well, hey that's okay!! It simply isn't meant to be ... for me to be in control of everything. In fact, life seems to eventually move more 'smoothly' if I do exactly that! It's funny how many times I've been told that for a Cancer woman ... I sure have some strong Gemini traits (even though my rising sign is in Leo), hmm. Don't know about that one - but I do seem to get on quite well with Geminis! Not only do I find them interesting because they tend to have lots of different interests, have an intellectual bent, and tons of energy, but I also find (at least for me) that they always tell it like it is ... no trying to soothe the feelings of another, no second or third thoughts as to whether they should come out and say it or not; nope, for a Gemini person it's usually: "If I find this person is irritating me - I certainly will let them know it!" (of course there are always drawbacks to be overly outspoken at the wrong times) ... but I've never yet met a Gemini that has 'regretted' his or her impulsive actions.
Generally, the also seem to do very well in the work environment (especially in management positions) and I can relate to this also - because I too dislike having to work under someone (especially if that 'someone' has less brains than I do -but is in a position of authority!); and believe you me, in my own work history -- this situation has come up plenty of times ... and resulted in some problems for sure. I often wake up in the morning and ask myself what went wrong? Well, after all, I definitely should have the kind of job where I'm either self-employed or in business for myself ... and yet in the past 2 decades this 'dream' simply has never materialized ... as I was faced with financial difficulties much of the time!! Probably one of my biggest regrets is that I didn't jump at the chance to go to University and get a decent education with a Degree!! I had that chance once, and only once when I was 20 and refused (it was offered by a family member); actually it would've been foolhardy to do so at the time because at 20 I had the social and emotional skills of a 16 yr. old (loooong story) - let's just say that I was very much at odds with the style of upbringing my loving parents brought me up with!! Well, you know the saying: "One cant' choose their parents, and they can't choose you!" (I'm sure that they would've preferred other characteristics in their only daughter, to the ones that surfaced!).
So the job hunting continues ... week after week after week!! Pretty much the 'same ol', 'same ol' stuff!! But eventually something will come up ... and hopefully it will be just the perfect job or setting that will allow me to be successful! As for this week, I'm just grateful that I don't feel as frantic as I did the week before ... and have even allowed myself a wonderful day at the beach yesterday - the the man I love!! It was a gorgeous day at a gorgeous location and the energy of the place was just wonderful!! I hope to do this more often during the summer, depending on what obligations I have to keep (family, temp jobs, friends).
The bottom line is, if you ever are feeling like you are just spinning your wheels --well, that's because YOU ARE!! One remedy that works for me is to simply say to yourself -- "Okay, enough already! I've done what I can do ... now please let Divine Will steer me in the direction I should go ... I'll wait for the signals and listen to my intuition guide me!" Believe me, even if you think you are not progressing as quickly as your ego wants you to! Your Higher Power (Divine Will) always knows what's best and will even quitly present opportunities that you need 'at the time'.
I wish everyone a happy and fulfilling week ahead.
Blessings,
Angelica
