Last week I decided to write an e-book. I wanted to cover the
basics of geocaching and use some of the lessons I've learned in the
book.
On Sunday I sat down, opened my word processor and got started. I
managed to come up with an outline and a couple of good stories to
include before the kids started hollering for dinner.
I went into the kitchen, made dinner and then came back out into
the office to continue my project but as I walked up to my computer I
saw this.
A Monarch Butterfly sitting on my keyboard. I touched him,
expecting him to fly away but then realized that sadly, he was dead.
Hmm. What could a dead butterfly on my computer mean?
I did a Google search and was surprised by how many theories I
found.
Some believe butterflies are our guardian angels while others
believe that finding a dead butterfly signifies the upcoming death of
someone close to you.
So, if I go with the first theory – my guardian angel has died
and if I go with the second theory someone I love is about to die.
I didn't like either of those ideas so I kept digging and I found
this:
“A dead butterfly is a signal for you to recapture the spirit
and imagination in your life.... at the moment you've lost your
mojo.”
Since the page I was working on was open and the butterfly died on
my keyboard I'm going to go with the recapture my imagination theory.
I have to because losing someone I love is too hard to even
contemplate and anyone who knows me knows I NEED my guardian angel.
Cross your fingers for me – I'm a little on the superstitious
side and this event has me torn between writing like a mad woman or
hiding under my bed.
Let's hope writing works because I'm too big to fit under the bed.Labels: Staying
