Hope Chest

Good morning! Yes, I am learning to read my email each morning first thing. As for writing my own thoughts, my senses are numb because all my energy is going into computerizing this accounting system at work. I feel that I walk around in a daze with nothing internally stirring. I am sure that work can do this to a person, but it’s a new sensation to me, not being able to get in touch with my thoughts and emotions. I don’t like being here. However, gainful employment is essential right now and I am almost done with this job.
I remember that quote: “Chop wood, haul water. Enlightenment comes. Chop wood, haul water.” This must be a chopping wood time.
I am still putting away Christmas. The memories keep me singing. We all need these treasures that take us from where we were to now, and bridge us into the future. We need a kind of “hope chest” somewhere. What’s in yours?

My “hope chest” has all of my journals and a big binder with what I think of as my “important writings and pictures”, heirloom pictures too, and a piece of baby clothing from each of my kids. That’s the past. I keep that trunk by an exit door in hopes that if there is a fire, it will be saved!
My “future hope chest” could have a cookbook in it, “Good food and exercise for good health”. There should be some message of love from the Universe, maybe a beautiful poster. I would put the word “meditate” on a rock, and “travel” on another one, hoping that would inspire me to those ends. And I would like a handful of something sparkling for ideas to write about! I could use a cuddly toy to represent happy relationships with most everyone I know. And I would like to always have a printer that works. My printers have all been frustrating so far. So I could put in a ream of paper, knowing I might have to do all that writing or drawing by hand, but that would be O.K. I am sure I will think of more.
