Day 40

Well, today is the last day, though we have one more meeting. I guess floating on the surface of this has been better than not getting in the water at all, right?

Today we pack up my son’s stuff and early tomorrow head off to deliver him to his first apartment. This feels more real in the empty nest than when he just went off to school. Now he truly will be ‘just visiting’ when he comes here to see us. I love the adult he’s turned into so much.

And I’m interested to see how I find my balance again…so many things tearing at my heart this week, in so many ways.

Day 37 – 39

Took the weekend off of journaling, unintentionally. But it felt like a ‘real’ weekend for me, a true break, and that’s a good thing.

Now Monday, new week and new month. I’m feeling organized and balanced after a morning meditation and jumping into work. Still hope to get a walk accomplished, and this week is a little nuts with drives FL to MD and MD to MA with my son. But life is moving forward, and so am I.

Next week I start yoga Teacher Training with Tymi for three weeks. I’ll be mostly watching recordings, but hope to catch early morning, noon, and weekend classes live. I’m excited and a bit anxious about biting off more than I can chew.

Day 36

Last night we picked up my boy at the airport and I’m really enjoying having him home. Next week he and I drive up to deliver him to his new apartment for the next three years.

This morning I got to meditate before work, moving my spot to the living room as my old place is the ‘guest bedroom’ sort of.

Then work work work….

and still no walk, nor good choices for food, nor yoga.

Day 35

Some positive changed I’m making in my life:

  • Signed up for Tymi’s 100hr training
  • Signed up (again) for WW
  • Got the daggone curtains hemmed and rehung
  • Attended (part of) the MakerFx member meeting

Today – meditation and a walk..ok that didn’t happen (yet)

Day 34

Tomorrow I get to see my boy, and today I made sure to have time for meditation and a walk. Things are sailing along…

Day 33

A Tuesday that feels like a Monday because of the holiday. I feel focused and productive. Let’s see if I can keep that up!

Pretty sure I’m going to do Tymi’s 100hr Teacher Training in June…..holy moly…

Day 32

Started the day with mala meditation which is a good thing because I’ve just been in scattered pieces of busy-ness since then.

Meeting on a Zoom chat with family at 3pm so after that hoping to be a bit more focused…. I’ve also completely dropped the ball and thrown it down the road on the 40 days program. But Kim says ‘you aren’t wrong’ so maybe I can just run and get it and do the last week strong.

Day 31

Today is a Sunday that feels like a Saturday, because tomorrow is a holiday. I ate dinner too late last night and stayed up a little late and 1.5 rum and cokes so I was a bit slow this morning.

I’ve spent the day sort of putting through some tasks mixed with chatting with people near (backyard neighbors) and far ( mom, sister, and son, plus folks in Belize and CT) and it seems before I knew it the day was done.

Day 30

It is Saturday morning of a long weekend. I did my meditation, and have yoga with Tymi later today for two hours!

Last week I got sucked back into some drama that I’ve been determined to let go of. It sticks to me like tar, and pokes at all my buttons that fight for justice and truth. But honestly, the battle was not worth the cost.

I had one of my “psychotherapy dreams” where I get answers to situations that have me feeling stuck. It was epic. I dreamed I got all tangled up again with an ex abusive boyfriend. The one who stalked me. And the best part was that right at the end an angel man came in and showed me the hidden pulleys and strings and how the ex bf was just pulling on old strings and I could just cut the strings and be done.

I’ve always received important emotional info from my dreams. I am cutting my strings and pulleys. The more words I say the more the strings get tangled. The drama folks love to take my words and argue with them. Pulleys don’t work if the strings are cut. Done deal.

I realized that even though I haven’t been too good at ‘doing’ the 40 days program it’s still really good at DOING me! I’m going to finish up breakfast and try to get a little yard stuff done before class, then more after!
