I am grateful for

Follow through. I woke up at 6:00 ish today, on a day I don't necessarily have to work, but I did pick up a client today, to do work laundry. So when I do go to my client, I can stop by work and drop off the sheets. Then I don't have to think about work until wednesday.

Drama. Long story short, it vibed on a frequency that made me uncomfortable and I got upset with him, and rather than continue with the drama I deleted the comment and post. So I sit here still needling how I'm frustrated, and then I just closed my eyes, took "it" out of my mind and talked to it. Then released it, as lesson learned for today.

Actually getting up at like 5:00, because my cat wanted water from the faucet, apparently. I'm back asleep. Till my alarm. But I did get kitten cuddles.

One of my at-home clients saying he needed a massage this weekend. Instead of next weekend. Which is awesome.

Early morning. Because I can carve out some time just for me, and then I can have time for other people.

One of my road trips up to the North Shore in Duluth area. I like older and old buildings and this was one of the pictures of unique places.

I am Grateful for

Taking the side roads. When interesting weather is falling from the sky the interstate is not where you want to be. Because at least on the side roads you are moving, I'll bet a bit slowly, but slowly is still flowing.

Holding my ground. To be honest I could have taken an extra client today. But I am glad I did not. Because I would not have had the spoons to do the work and the errands that I needed to do today if I had taken another client.

Deleting my comment this morning. It wasn't worth the stress. It wasn't worth the drama. And to be honest after I went to my happy place today, I didn't think about it at all.

Leftovers. Here in Minneapolis we have freezing rain. And I could order some food and have it delivered. I even would tip extra. But I have some really good spicy food in my fridge, and I can eat it.

Doing homework. In class last night we were going through how to do the laying of hands for energy work. Part of it was the visualization for preparation, and I thought that would be a brilliant guided meditation as well as to getting yourself to the point where you're going to do either the healing work or a full-on meditation or both. So I recorded a meditation in regards to that. I also did some homework from last night.

Releasing. Today when I would get stuck in an old thought process, I would turn around and go why are you here? This is not a thought process that I wish to practice anymore. This is not a behavior that I wish to practice anymore. I acknowledge your place in my life, but it is time to go. And there's so much release while I'm doing this.

I finished this this evening. I had always wondered how it would look with a black background. I have to say I do enjoy it. I may have to color more of my mandalas in with a black background. I always really enjoy how a dark color allows for the colors to pop.
