My life has once more become hectic. I feel like I report that in my blog every couple weeks. Just goes to show how cyclical things are! This time, the stress has everything to do with getting back into my work schedule. It’s too easy to come home and collapse! I haven’t been as spiritually active as usual. Again, this seems to be cyclical. Anyway, a fellow flamekeeper’s post on the SIG e-list reminded me that last night was my shift! So, although it was right around the time of night when hubby and I start to prepare for bed, I took some time and lit the candle for Brighid at her shrine over my stove. I prayed. I took several deep, calming breaths.
Hubby really liked the way the wax melted so he snapped this photo. I think it’s a really beautiful photo and wanted to share it with you.

Occasionally, we all feel too busy, too tired, too stressed. In reality, you probably have a couple minutes to stop and connect with whatever spiritual powers you like. Chances are you need to. Go ahead and take that time for yourself. And don’t feel guilty when you can’t.
