It has been a quiet month for writing for me. I miss it. So here I am at midnight, writing my gratitudes instead of sleeping. *wry smile*
I'm feeling proud of myself for small life gestures that get me where I want to go.
I'm remembering that the baby steps are, in and of themselves, valuable. They are the small, daily miracles that move us ever forward on our journey and are so often overlooked. Thank goodness they exist. I am finally starting to appreciate them for themselves. It is a lovely feeling.
The sun has been shining again of late and it is making me smile. I love the rain, but I also love cool, crisp, Spring, skirt-wearing days! :) Hooray!
I have so much to be thankful for. So much. And I am thankful moment by moment, hourly, daily....it is finding the time to write about it that I find difficult. I'm feeling over-calendared and overwhelmed and I still don't know how to balance it all. I'm so wealthy in friends and in activities and I'm thankful beyond belief for you and for them. I just need to learn to build in more time for me to contemplate my navel and to write and breathe and dream and think.
Speaking of dreams....wow....my dreams have been working double time this month. This past couple of weeks have kicked my butt sideways such that my dream life has gotten very bizarre of late. And by bizarre I mean "Freud would get a hard on for my dreams" weird. It is nice to be remembering dreams again...I'd just like it if the "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Brain? Where on earth did THAT come from?" factor would mellow out a little. *grin*
In other news, I'm feeling good in my skin again and loving the me that I am. Taking the 148 stairs in my office every time I think about it. It seems to average out to somewhere between 2 -5 times a day. Walking a lot and hopefully regaining some of my health in the process. After months of forced inactivity it feels really good to be moving in some way again...physically, psychically, and emotionally. Baby steps are still steps and they are good.
Let me say that again: Baby Steps Are Still Steps and They Are Good!!
So since I'm all over the map tonight, let me sing my gratitudes tonight as follows:
1) My weekend of Ani with Anni. What an amazing couple of days. So much love, so much warmth, so much comprehension and ease, so much connection....so much. Thank you, Anni. *sniff* *sniff* ;)
2)Thank you also to the Divine Laura Bee for coming to play with us! Such a treat to get time with you two!
3) Feeling good in my skin again. Coming back to the me I like and love and respect. I wrote a piece about that the other day. Maybe I'll post it later. :)
4) Baby steps. I loves them. :)
5) Feeling confident in my photography again. Enjoying it and feeling good about the results I'm seeing. Knowing that I have on days and off days, but the on days are on more often and the off days are becoming fewer and further between.
6) Making music. Singing more. Learning the uke. I learned something that most of you probably already know, but somehow I'd missed in my uke class a couple of weeks ago. I had somehow managed to miss the correlation between the vibration of sound and the correlation to the vibration of colour. So we see what we hear and we hear what we see. How did I not know about this? All I know is that I'm tickled to be learning about it now. Much more reading to be done on the subject soon, methinks! It speaks so beautifully to my musical self and to my photographic light and colour loving self.
7) Learning new things. Every day that I learn something new is a great day.
