I took the day off from my FT job and slept in which I needed. Had a bunch of errands to do before working at 5pm for 3 hours. Was nice to have some free time to catch up on things and start planning trip to Florida next month
I do my hula-hooping with some background music. It’s so enjoyable. Today, I have just finished a 10-day happiness online program. An email is sent to me daily, introducing one thing I can do to boost happiness. Here’s the link for those interested in the program: https://10daysofhappiness.org/
Stop dancing with the devil for God sakes it’s absolutely tyrannical destruction and madness
Seems that is definitely a dilemma fix that the rest will follow but I am not sure I can fix anything just have to escape might always be two steps from hell if I don’t stop runnin’ into the Dark
I can show care to myself by using this quiet time (while my little one is napping) to do: a self-compassion meditation, bible devotional, and prayer w/ stillness & silence w/ God.
My self care is an ongoing project. Right now I have the luxury of time. So I will take my meds, practice contemplation and gratitude, eat a healthy breakfast, do some yoga/stretching, do some chores around the house, and start my day.
I have family coming over today. I can show care for myself by letting them think what they want about my house, my children, my husband, my pet, myself. I can’t control their opinion and giving myself permission not to try is a way to care about my peace.
Very well said!! 👏 Praying your visit with family goes great and that you are blessed with the peace that you deserve! Thank you for sharing, I needed the reminder!!🙏🏻❤️
I give thanks for having this day to take care of myself and think of all of those who have to climb back on the merry-go-round of making a living. I can rest today. They cannot. Thanks to all who sent me loving messages about my son yesterday. I’m so thankful for the time we spent together yesterday. I am so blessed to be able to hug him and his wife and hold them tight!
There is a card that a friend gave me awhile ago that has an artistic representation of how I picture my Inner Teacher. (the drawing is of Kuan Yin meditating, by Sue Halstenberg https://sue-halstenberg.pixels.com/featured/kuan-yin-meditating-sue-halstenberg.html ). I can look at that card, smile at myself, put my hand over my heart and take a couple of deep breaths, as a way to show care for myself.

We can run, we can’t hide.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I might just get some sleep tonight

Keep coming back and practice grateful living
You can stop running into the Dark,
dear Azule,
if you REALLY want to . . .
I did. ♥
Go to bed !

After high winds and rain the sun is shining and the sky is a light blue with puffy clouds. I’m taking myself for a walk in the park.

It is time to get back to healthier eating after the abundance of the holidays. I enjoy all the treats, but enough is enough!
. . . by luxuriating in my body
and what I can do with it
instead of bemoaning what I can’t. ♥

For me – it’s time to take control of my health and the things I put in my body, whether it be food or drink. It’s time to clean up and clean out.
I am very worried about an issue. I need to check it out before I come to a drastic conclusion.
Seems the things I worry about, or dread usually end very benign.
Thank you.
YRAM, May the Spirit guide you.
Thank you.
Take your time,
dear Yram,
and be patient . . .
a solution will present itself. ♥
Thank you.
Go for a swim. Eat wholesome foods instead of cookies. Be patient with myself.
“Be patient with myself”– yes!
