Heartfelt Gratitude: Organization Gems

Photo by Author

As I was organizing my photos I found this sweet gem of a Magic Glass image. Interestingly, I have not been gifted many new images of late. I felt drawn to organize my pictures today. Honestly, I have been drawn to organize them for some time, along with my teaching materials, our bathrooms and the infamous junk drawer. We actually have two junk drawers that we need to organize. 

I have been pondering organizing so much the last few days, that I actually dreamed about moving and organizing a new home last night. I was with my mom and we were putting up shelves. My mother was the queen of organization. My husband was helping from time to time, too. He is always organizing his tools and is excellent at organizing. Me on the other hand, I am not the best at organizing unless I can tap into my creative energy, too!

Finding gems along the way makes it fun, though it can distract me from the job at hand. For example, this morning I was archiving pictures and sorting them into different folders. I found the one above before I had edited it. It called to me, which caused me to ponder why. What is it about this image that pulls me in?

I can see a horse's head in the center of the image. It reminds me of my Unicorn Stick horse, which was my companion last year as I cantered into retirement. I kept this unicorn. She rides in our truck. She makes me smile as I remember the magic she brought to my students and myself during the quarter I traveled from class to class with her at the head of this cart.  She helped me through the long days before I turned in my keys.

I can also see a bear that wraps around the horse's head, in this image. It reminds me of the bronze sculpture my dad loved. It is called 'Spirit Of The Grizzly. by c. burleson.  It brings me joy that the sculptor is a woman. She is also my age. She has been following her creative passion for 40 years. I am grateful that I am following my creative passion now, too. 

I feel as though the Magic Class image, which led me from the unicorn to the sculpture my dad loved, was sent by my dad. My dad is now a loving member of my angelic team. I believe that he is telling me that he is proud of me for following my creative passions. He loved my writing and he supported my dream to write long before he crossed over. I believe that he, with the help of the rest of my angelic team, had something to do with my lovely scamper down memory lane today as I followed the magical breadcrumbs.

My heartfelt gratitude is for finding gems while organizing. Today I organized my photos and discovered an image that led me down memory lane. I wonder what other gems I will discover as I continue to tap into my creative energy while organizing the bathroom, my teaching materials and the junk drawers?

Do you like to organize or do you put it off until you feel drawn to it? 

Can you stay focused on the job at hand, or do you get distracted by the gems you discover?

When organizing do you tap into your creative energy, like I must do? 

Manifest a magical day!
