August Message
Do Not Disturb.
We have been laboring under high stress these past
few months the angels say. What worries them is that we haven’t been aware of
just how intense that stress level has been because we’re being pulled in all
sorts of directions with our work, our daily life, family issues, or national
concerns.
It also hasn’t helped that we’re in the dog days of summer which enhances
irritability, fatigue, depression, and appetite, even sleep disorders. Which we
tend to chalk up as normal because of the time of the year.
That is why the angels want us to be aware of how important it is that we slow
down and honor our bodies and souls when we need it the most. Not in the Fall,
when nature begins to move into its slumber, or in Winter when days are short
and nights are lengthy and quiet. They want us to rest during the hectic, long,
hot summer days and constant activity.
But, can we find the time? Yes. Our angels will assist us in finding it. First
we have to ask for help, then be willing to accept whatever they bring our way.
Who knows. It might be an unexpected trip to the mountains, where one can hike
among the cool beauty of God’s tall pines. Or we can attend a silent retreat
being offered in town. And, if there isn’t time for a long weekend, they may
arrange for a wonderful soak in the tub, or an afternoon nap without
interruptions, or time to read a special, feel-good book.
After that, all we have to do is accept the “Do Not Disturb” sign they hand us
and make use of the quality time being offered with love.
