Well, I'm not going to lie. My first day of this bright new year, this bright new decade started not unlike the last day of the last year, the last decade. I spent the vast majority of my day on the couch.
I hate to admit this but, it's the truth. I would love to have said I spent the day in the mountains, going for a run, practicing yoga, taking pictures. Making big steps. The nice thing is I spent it re-couping. I feel like this was the day I spent reading, focusing strictly on feeling better is going to set me up. Because, 2011, I have BIG plans for you.
One of my dear friends came to see me on my sick bed, eat my food, watch TV with my family. She also brought along a lovely christmas gift! Medicine Cards. An amazing book and cards that enlighten and inspire through animal totems. Now I haven't really played around with anything like this before. Nor am I sure you can actually play with these sorts of things. Needless to say I pulled the Elk card, just haphazardly. Reading from the accompanying book the elk symbolizes stamina. Now pulling this card, it read, could be telling me how I am holding up physically to stresses in my life. It comes up to tell me to pace myself so I can maintain an equilibrium of energy over the distance I plan to cover. Other key things it offers are to take vitamins and eat high-energy foods and to take some personal quiet time for replenishment. Funny enough, this is just what I have been focusing on.
Isn't it fun when you get the same message from a million different sources?! I can tell you it is even better when one of those sources is a card with a picture of an elk on it.
