Watch Closely Listen Closer

Today as I worked, two very sweet older dogs were alongside, I came to realize I'm still on track. Knowingly I have asked if I am, subconsciously unsure whether or not, still doing what I should be doing. Even as I worked, and it has happened pretty often, something big like today and others tiny, barely seen; for this, I have found it is good to watch closely and listen closer.

I have been shown I am on my path to my true enlightenment. My purpose for finding myself many many many moons ago is I will be happy no matter what, even when I am not happy. To be happy, I feel sad, angry, disappointed, but just for a few moments and let it go. Completely, then back to happy.

Because of my low thyroid, I can become very melancholy, feel pretty low, 'down in the dumps' and lately used up because I have a very public service job,...cleaning houses. I like to say helping people with chores, and most of the time it feels good to help but it can be easy to burn out. Sometimes it can feel like slavery, treated less than human, overworked, backbreaking and lonely. Until today, where I'm almost totally fine with it, happy even in the face of dismality. There are many pros like good pay, tips, my own boss, pick my own days, hours, clients, breaks,...which has kept me working and bringing in some extra pay!!!!

I met my sweet furry friends, the client lets me know how important my job was to her. She can come home and enjoy her clean house for the first time in a long time. It was a predominately clean house that just needed some TLC. My favorite kind of cleaning and I always like the ending pride I feel. That the client walks into a nice feeling house. I have had some clients actually come to the point of tears, thanking me, saying "Wow, this looks great!!!"

When I first started I was wondering how I would be able to be a maid. Truthfully, I cannot see myself as a maid. I don't want to just be a maid, so I do things a bit differently. I do little touches of creativity here and there... I arrange a bed like origami which is actually a thing, fold the blankets back differently, arrange a room just a little bit better, organize a bath cupboard getting all that stuff off the counter or bath. Spiritually corners are vastly important so I make sure I clean them. At least creating a bit of space just by moving something a few inches away from a corner. I actually think this has helped create a more positive work mentality for both me and potential clients.

I also ask for good positive jobs that aren't 'awful' and I have only gotten a couple bad ones. Thank goodness I can clean them and then just let them go and never have to again. I love when I can have some sweet furry friends for company and I've received quite a few.

Today a six-hour job didn't seem that long because I had two sweet little lovebugs for the company. Giving me hugs and kisses every hour, watching me with sweet kind eyes. I talked to them and they'd cock their heads comically and look at one another then back at me as if to say "what did she just say?" Tears came to my eyes. Because it was so funny and made me happy. My next job may or may not be as nice but I will always remember this day with my two new friends and cool music too, never forget great tunes to keep you dancing while you clean!!!

So, if you have to do something you're unsure of you can ask the universe for a message, an answer or how you could go about it better. To make it about learning, teaching or fun. Then go about your business because the answer will come when you least expect it. Watch closely and listen closer helps get the job is done faster and when the answer does come you'll know, you will just know.
