Day 246 – Intention Shake Up

This evenings’ sunset had to be the best one of the season so far. I think it literally displayed every color of the rainbow at one point or another. My son Micah said for my intention we should go onto the deck and enjoy the sunset together. I was taking a picture and we were standing there talking about how cool the weather was, how beautiful the sunset and scenery was and the plants on the deck. We decided that since my jasmine plant has grown almost to the point of “out of control” to further my intention I should take some twine and pull some of it together and possibly even trim it down a bit.

Just as I was pulling the vines up to decide how to tie it, Micah was getting ready to snap a picture and I felt a sharp pain in my foot. Apparently, I shook a big huge bumble bee out of the plant. Somehow I stepped just on the side of it as it lay on its back (probably a bit dormant from the cool night air) and it got me- right on the side of my foot! (These bees are usually so friendly, I didn’t even think they stung but I guess when you step on half their body they have no choice but to sting- poor little guy)

I said “Ow, Ow, what was that?” Micah and I looked down and saw it laying there and looked at each other with a bit of shock and amazement. I went in the house in a bit of a panic because the last time I got stung by a bee (when I was a little kid) I had a very bad reaction. Within just seconds Vinny, Micah, Elijah and his friend Eva (who was over for dinner) surrounded me. I was nervous because I didn’t know if I would have a reaction. Vinny and Micah googled it right away. Vinny was looking for a stinger. He packed me some ice and everyone just stayed around me talking and checking in on me very closely for about 30 minutes.

I decided to write about this tonight because the quick action, caring, comfort and attention I received from my family was so heartwarming. I know Vinny and my boys would do anything for me but it’s times like this that just melt a momma’s heart. So, my intention did not work out just the way it was planned but that is life and embracing life’s moments is a majorly important aspect in rolling through the bumps, or stings, life throws our way lol. #HGAL #Imfine #noreactiontothebumblebeesting

Ending of the sunset tonight
