Thanksgiving Sunday Eve...

Hello my Zenful Readers. :) How are you all today? How was your week and weekend over all? Mine has been utterly exhausting. It's been very busy at work for me. Our busiest time of the year. More so because a new program has been implemented. So needless to say I'm coming home from work exhausted. I almost didn't write an entry today. I was of course, going to communicate this with you, my Zenful readers. But after talking to my hubby about how I knew that a few of my readers looked forward to the readings and Sunday Smudge Day I knew I had to. I've had a few of my friends that read my blog actually contact me on what time I'd be posting. (It was later than usually, a few Sundays ago and I hadn't posted the Blog yet) I knew I had to post one after thinking about that. And as I began, I smiled; it was meant. I could feel the energy as my thoughts flowed and I typed. 

It's obvious, of course, what my entry will be about today. Yup! Being Thankful. :) I of course am thankful for the life I've had. All of it. And if you know me, deeply know me, my journey didn't begin in a positive light. I was in the shadows for many years. I'm thankful for where my journey has led me. I wouldn't be here now had my book of life been written other wise. Yes, some of my youth had been hard but, I am thankful for it. I wouldn't be a mother of two wonderfully good hearted children and I'm so thankful for that. I'm grateful for our family cat Valentine's. (Pictured below) And I'm also thankful for having the opportunity to be married to my children's father, my best friend; since we were ten and eleven years old. We've been together for seventeen years, married eleven out of the seventeen. Our years haven't been without great challenge and at times we've thought,...this is it. But we have come together full circle. I know I can say for the both of us that we are grateful for where our journey has led us. It wasn't and isn't easy. But we are grateful for the path we have been led to. 

I'm grateful for my job despite how frustrating it can be. I'm grateful for that. Because then I know I have a job I can be frustrated with. I'm grateful that we both have good jobs so we are able to provide a decent home for the small family we have created. 

I am grateful for the friends I have. And now is where I'll give my shout outs! I'm grateful for the following people that mean so much to me. Thank you for being my friend through my good times and bad. And being there for me when I didn't have the strength to be strong. 

Thank you, Mari, Ziggy, Amy, Vicki, Aida, Yessi, Jill/family, Bonnie/Rosie, Lisa. 

For those that I've just met since I launched my Zenful Blog via my Google+ account. I'm so thankful for you all as well. I'm grateful for the friendship that we have developed over these short weeks which have now turned into months. G.C., Lola, Dee, Jane, Lisa, Karen, Billy, Linda, Darcy, Elizabeth, & Hector. 

For those relationships that have just begun to blossom, I'm grateful for you as well.

The laughs and support we give each other is as if we have known each other forever. It's amazing. I'm thankful for that! I thank each of you for that! 

I'd like to wrap up this Thankful Blog with a huge THANK YOU to those that have taken the time to read all my Zenful Sunday Smudge Day Blog! I hope they help get your week started. 

Shall we begin to smudge? I already know you've been drinking water as you've been reading. :) Lets get to it. 

Opening smudge prayer:

I'd like to ask The Lord our Father as well The Universe to be here with us today as I smudge & cleanse each of those that are reading this. 

I'd like to also ask my ancestors to be present, as well as the elements earth, rain, wind, & fire to be here with us. I'd like to call on the goddess of the north, east, south & west. As well as our archangels Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, Gabriel for revelation & Uriel for wisdom. 

Please release us all of any negative energy that does not suit or support our needs. Please Lord and Universe be here with us and help us during our time of needing healing, protection, revelation, and wisdom. 

Please let us all have a drama free and great work week. Let our kids have a wonderful week at school and or day care. Please let all issues regarding friendships, spouses or family be resolved as they are meant to be. In a kind and peaceful manner. 

Please see the sage smoke carry away all your worries and blow them away with the element wind, burn them away with the element fire, soak them away with the element water so that the element earth may ground you. Take these few minutes to visual this and clear this away......

Closing smudge prayer:

I'd like to THANK YOU Lord and the Universe for giving me opportunity to share my Zenful experience with others. I want to thank my ancestors for being present. I'd like to also, thank the elements earth, rain, wind, & fire for being with us. I'd like to thank the goddess of the north, east, south & west. As well as our archangels Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, Gabriel for revelation & Uriel for wisdom. 

Thank you Lord and Universe for always looking out for us and for giving us all the Blessings we have. Thank you for my yesterday, for my today and for the abundance of a wonderful week ahead. 

Wishing all my Zenful readers a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and friends.

PS. I'll definitely be smudging Wednesday the Eve of Thanksgiving Day. Won't you be?
