Can I get a witness?

I picked today's card with great anticipation - this will be the first card I blog about. What pearls of wisdom do I need to learn today. Maybe I should explain how I pick the card each day...I shuffle, while thinking "What do I need to know today?". Then I pick the one that finger sticks on as I fan them out.
So what will it be today? Love? Peace? Gratitude? Bring it on.
So today I am divine....Witness! Beg pardon? Huh? As my husband Andy would say "What the truck?".
So right off the bat, it doesn't register with me...am I supposed to testify? Luckily the cards come with a handy dandy little booklet with a little message for each of the qualities.
So to bear witness on an internal level is to have your words and actions reflect who you are. On an external level it is to hold those around you without judgement. Or at least this is how I am interpreting it today.
Right now, I am a work in progress...okay, we are all works in progress, but right now I am a DIY's dream in full on reno mode. So I am trying to....scratch that, I AM changing who I was to reflect who I want to be.
So today I paid attention to how I was presenting myself - what I said, how I acted, how I held myself. I smiled more. I held my tonuge more (I make lots of sarcastic little asides... I tried to keep those to myself). And today I felt happy. Not short term something happened and because of that I feel happy, but just an old fashioned case of the no reason happies. And it felt good.

I also joined Weight Watchers earlier this year, and today was weigh in day. I was up .8 pounds, but that is far less damage than I was anticipating....this was not a good "on program" week as we say. But I will tell you this, I do not regret one single thing I ate this week. As I waited to get on the scale, I wasn't thinking "Boy I really wish that I hadn't had....". Everything I ate this week that maybe wasn't a dieter's best friend, I was choosing to eat (really consciously, I do want to have this chosing to eat). I enjoyed every mouthful. Do I wish I had lost this week, of course, who wouldn't? But there was NO negative self talk. That was also a good feeling.

On another aside -what is with this weather? Jeez Louise! I thought the whole thing was April showers....Here it has been pissing rain since mid afternoon, Several bouts of scary rain, and while the sky is a normal rainy grey now, before it was that eerie green grey that makes you think that something just ain't right.

Wishing you sunny skies!
