Tiny Bubbles of Inspiration

I am grateful to a dear friend that motivated me to paint the remaining rooms of my home, which I figured would not get done until this fall. She was on her way to visit me in a few days and I knew now was the time to forge ahead with this procrastinated endeavor. I was now on a mission to add more color to my life and unknowingly a lot of inspiration. I've painted for over six years and not once have I ever thought of it as inspirational. Until now!

I gathered all my paint supplies from the basement, purchased the paint, wow, now things were rolling right along. Well rolling right along until the first coat of paint I applied to the ceiling started bubbling, ugh! I was so aggravated that there was no Universal light source possibly going to get through to me right then. I was pissed!!!! I took my finger and pulled on the bubble and the peeling began. This was the second to the last room I had left to paint and the last thing I needed was this!

So I peeled all the old paint off the ceiling and as I was finishing that room I thought to myself, man what if the ceiling in the other room does this too. I was determined not to scrape that ceiling, as it was the biggest one left to do. My immediate thoughts before starting that ceiling were to God and Angels. What I wanted was a bubble-less painted ceiling! Ok, so now it's time to begin the last room. Here goes! Oh no! This can't be happening to me again!

Sure enough there are those tiny little bubbles, and now some more, and wow, they are getting bigger. All I could think of doing at that moment was crying! I walked away from it and came back hoping they'd be gone. Nope, still there! But this miraculous thought came to me. Get a pin and put an air hole in the bubble and see what happens! So off I scurried to look for that precious pin.

Finding it I climbed the ladder and prick, there I did it. Now wait and see what happens. I am being guided here no doubt for I'd never have thought to do this after all the scraping I did yesterday. I kept myself busy

Now am I a happy camper or what! Then while I am finishing the ceiling another thought came to me, again, not mine! I know the difference between my thoughts and those of the heavenly realm. Use the bubbles to get rid of your fears and dis-ease! So as the bubbles appeared I put all my fears from the past, frustrations of the present, and worries about the future into them. With a happy face and a mere stick of the pin I sent the bubbles and my uncertainties into paint heaven. I realized that we are always trying to fix things in our own way instead of staying calm and waiting for the solution that can make the little things in life work for us. By walking away from the aggravation and coming back open to solutions I saved a lot of hard work and also found a way to release.

The bubbles ended up being a great source of inspiration for me. What about the bubbles or annoyances in your life, do they inspire you? Even the small stuff in life can have a great impact on how your day goes. I finished that room in record time and had fun doing it. Life is a game and each day we learn more about how to play it. Even the tiniest bubbles can hold the most inspiration!
