I am Grateful for...
Apr. 10th, 2024 07:50 pmI am grateful for beautiful days. I will either be very motivated to get shit done or I'll be looking for distractions keep me from getting shit done. Laughing. This morning I got up and I went and did a little grocery shopping, came home and did laundry. Then I took the trash out, did recyclables, and vacuumed the apartment. I got shit done.
I am grateful for getting shit done today. I work 4 days. This is my get stuff done before I start working. So all my laundry is done, this means I won't be missing anything. And all my personal chores are done.
I am grateful that we hit 73° F today. I opened three windows. And enjoyed the Beautiful weather.
I love decluttering. It frees up space but it also frees up energy. It's an interesting correlation between being overweight as well as having clutter around you. It's an extra layer that people have to work through in order to get to know you. In Louise Hay's book, she mentions that being overweight is an need of protection. Have you ever walked by someone's porch? And some porches have purpose, and some porches are used as storage. It is an extra layer that you must work through, in order to access the person who lives there. It's basically like a moat.
I am grateful for my cats. My cat mischief was glowering at Merlin today. It was hilarious. Merlin gets jealous, so he kicks Mischief out of her perch. Then Merlin gets up of his own free will and goes to eat, and Mission takes your spot back. Then Bishop is sitting in her spot cleaning herself, and Merlin comes back to a spot that is no longer his, and she sits there and glowers at him. It was hilarious.
I am grateful for the area in which I live. I moved to Minneapolis as a retreat. Sanctuary. Mainly to get away from my mother, so I could work on myself without interference, or someone who knows me so well that she can tear down my walls and push all the right buttons. So I moved to a city that was 26 miles away while I didn't have a car, and Metro Transit doesn't go down there. Well it didn't, 10 years ago. Now if I would like to go down there, buy something other than car, I can take the bus, it'll take a while. My relationship with my mother has improved in the last 5 years.
I am grateful for moving outside of my shell. I know it's probably not going to be comfortable all the time, and there are days that I may not want to come out of my shell. Let alone my bedroom, but it feels like it's time to stop hiding.
I am grateful for an evening walk. The goal is 6,000 steps, and days in which I do my chores, I usually need it quite easily. But this morning I had to take my watch off so I could charge it.
I am grateful that I live a couple blocks from a lake. The sun sets are phenomenal. And the trees are still naked. No, when I went out to my car today, it looked like the trees have been fornicating on it. Outside of the yellow dusty film on the car several weeks ago, that's usually the first time spring.
I am grateful for Pamela's pancake and waffle mix gluten free. I replace the oil on the egg with bananas, sometimes applesauce. But I have found a way to get the graininess that sometimes happens when you just replace eggs with bananas. You make it with bananas and canned coconut milk. The fat from the coconut milk balance is out what you are missing. Or you could put more bananas in it. It looks like a normal pancake, except it's much more filling.
