Evening Review
Give thanks, share beauty, note joy:
Oh, bah, there was something i was very thankful for this morning -- i was going to write about it. I think it's that i let myself experience the support of having my boundaries respected. I have a volunteer role, i'm clear what my limits are, and now -- when someone else is dropping their responsibilities -- folks are respecting the fact that i don't need to pick up the pieces.
I feel like a slacker, delinquent in so many other responsibilities, it is delightful to experience saying, 'No, i can't," and having it respected and even called out.
I spent time in Meeting reflecting on that, on Simplicity (the theme of this month's advices and queries), on patience.
I am so confronted with how i cannot change myself except over slow and deliberate effort, with only small steps -- if i try to change too much... And others in Meeting were thinking of the atomic anniversaries: Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Someone spoke out of her heartbreak and anguish over her horror of those atrocities. I wonder about changing the world, changing myself. Am i sitting on my hands as injustices occur? And i think of the compassion and care particularly Christine shows to critters -- in the interconnectedness of all things are small acts of mercy and care just as important?
I also napped with Greycie, notable because i don't nap well, and i'm certainly not used to Greycie snuggling with me.
Noteworthy events (dining out, errands, correspondence):
Made it to F's for her knitting party. She was trying to clean out her yarn stash, and i took some russet yarn that went with my "Tatooine" dress. I'm making a stole.
Yams: product work; also lost doctor's email
Yays: took care of myself
"Not Care Less" and paralysis hacks:
Health: bad canker causing greater malaise
Pondering: blogging for others to see at LJ -- is it time to quit? Change to writing for an audience instead of myself?
Worries: one more week without Christine, Greycie & the fireplace
Regrets:
Folder? y/n Powerstrip? y/n Health chart? y/n
I am reliable. I can trust my inner understanding of my self, and my inner self can trust me to take care of my self. I am able to protect myself emotionally while still interacting with others.
