I have a stack of paperwork that needs to be completed very soon. My stack includes a licensing application for a day program. If you have never seen the numbers of forms that have to be completed in the State of California in order to license a day program, well, you don't want to see them. Years ago (1973), I saw a psychic in Chula Vista, California. Fast forward to 2008, and I have lived long enough to see all of her predictions come true. Once I started seeing things happen that she had predicted, I tried to find her again to no avail. Anyway, she told me then that I would be going into a business that would require lots and lots and lots of paperwork "massive amounts of paperwork." She told me I would be very successful and that I wasn't able to see my potential. She measured with her hands showing me what I thought about my potential level and then reached her hands skyward to show me the reality of my performance potential. A wise woman, indeed, and one of strong faith. She was wise, because that skyward reach applies to all of us. We are limited by our own opinions of ourselves. Looking inward inhibits progress. Its only when we look outward towards the needs of our fellow human beings that we reap so many rewards.
Well, on that day I met with the psychic, I wasn't even planning on opening a business...ever. Amongst other predictions, she predicted my father's passing, my mother's long life and "blossoming" in later years, my son's future talent and the personality of my daughter. Amazing!
Back to the paperwork, I probably would have been too overwhelmed to take on the challenge had I only known about the paperwork. I didn't, so here I am buried in it, but I am going to climb out today and go spend the day with my two granddaughters. The 15 month old is taking her last swimming lesson for the winter today, and I am going to watch. The 17 year old is shopping for her friends, and I am going to tag along. I know I will pay for it tomorrow by working longer hours to get that paperwork completed, but today I am going to take a break and count my blessings for the privilege.
