Today
Yesterday got better. I gave myslef a free pass on doing everything. I haer that some people actuslly get 2 days off a week.
Decided to contemplate life.
I like to put it in writing. I found this from -
Jan 5 2009
When I picture abundance for me it looks like and feels like:
Happiness & ease. Calm. A completed home. Plumbing repaired. Downstairs bathroom completely renovated. The stairwell renovated. Hardwood floors. Steady flow of clients at work. Kids who do not bicker every time they get in the car. Meaningful conversations. Laughter. DH happily employed. Gardening. Reading. A clean home. Dishes are done every day. Adventurous excursions with the kids. A paved driveway. Renovated drive shed. A new car for DH. Canning pickles, peaches, jams, relish, salsa. Being slim and fit. Genuine friendships Nutritious and yummy food. A variety of food. Debt free. Savings. Retirement funds. Feeling joy.Feeling refreshed and renewed. Yoga. Fullness of life. Living in gratitude.
Gentleness. Synergy. Solitude. Fulfilled children. Parenting with intellect and love. Being present.
I do believe I am worthy of all of this.
This was written 7 days before Grandma died. Life was a bit of a blur. I dont remember doing this exercise.
Checking in with it.
