Day 21 of 2021- 21 days in

 Good Afternoon friends! Day 21 into 2021. Wow already 21 days in and boy has it gone fast. We have a new president and administration in the country and for them I can't even imagine what it must feel like with all that they have to tackle and take on to get the country out of the pandemic along with other issues.

Its also lunch time. How are you all doing? Are you walking outside, having your lunch, catching up on news or social media or reading? It would be interesting to read how you spend your lunch time or is there no such thing as lunch anymore since you are working from home and taking care of kids or the hundreds of things on your plate.

For me lunch time is usually quite busy. With 2 elementary kids at home, their lunch time is at 11:30am so I am always trying to figure out what to make or order in. I also tend to just their leftovers which is one thing that I must stop. I sometimes skip breakfast and eat a good heavy lunch so for me its all over the place and I don't have a set schedule. But that's okay and the key is looking at what stands before me.

So 21 days into the year 2021 and it has been very hectic and scary at the same time. We started the year feeling intense and unsure about how things will turn out. It is really hard to plan but I am also very hopeful that things will be different by the end of this year.

So I am not a believer in numbers and meanings but since today is the 21st day of the year 2021, I thought why not look up what the number 21 actually means symbolically. The angel number meaning website said "the number 21 symbolizes new beginnings and changes that are about to happen. Its also a time to get rid of your old beliefs and you should leave your past behind because it is time for a new phase of your life." 

So that's interesting given we have a new president and a new beginning. How can you use this time and this day to think about your new resolutions that you set this year, your new goals? What beliefs do you need to leave behind to help you move forward? What changes are you noticing? What changes would you like to see for yourself?

 I am sure other numbers have meanings as well but this is so fitting for the time period we are in. 

In the spirit of being in 3 weeks, 21 days into 2021, I hope that the message to inspires you to start or continue your new beginning. Keep up the great work! 

As the famous and beautiful poet Amanda Gordon said yesterday "we lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us.".

Don't compare yourself to anyone, don't judge and only look at what stands before you. Where are you today? 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace,

Monita
