So this morning I felt shaky inside…actually more like the weather outside…all cloudy and gray.   I tried to shake it off, it being my mood/feelings…but instead they clung to me like sticky molasses and not as sweet.  Being the kind of person that prefers sunshine to cloudy days…I was not happy with me feeling this way.  But I decided to embrace my feelings and listen to what they had to say. I sat and wrote down what I heard, hoping to get to the other side.  No such luck…they were staying for the duration like unwanted company.

Mark woke up and after he ate breakfast, we went outside to walk.  Since the clouds were hovering, the temperatures were much cooler than normal.   And there was a breeze…it almost felt like we were walking along shore, which brought beach into my mind and a little sliver of sunshine into my heart. Looking up at the sky, I noticed blue behind the gray/white puffy clouds, felt the wind on my skin, heard the birds singing, saw a neighbor’s cat sauntering on our drive-that is until she saw Sonny charging her way and then she ran like hell to get away from him- and I felt the earth beneath my bare feet…all of these things ‘righting’ my inner world.

But when Mark looked at me and said………..”Shake it Off”…and seeing as I had not said that to him or out loud, I figured it was a a message from the Universe.

Now every time Mark looks at me he says, “Shake it Off.”  I’m thinking somebody up there wants to make sure I get the message loud and clear.

Got it! ……..And did it!  🙂
