A good reminder, Carol
Great reminder that we have the power to control how we approach life. Easy one for me today, as my grandkids arrive for our belated Christmas. So I’ll have snuggle time, my 7 year old granddaughter reading to me, time with my son and permission to just be Nana Wawa!
You’ve got to be the coolest Nana ever.
I’m officially stepping off the Christmas cookie/candy hamster wheel; I am taking a walk with Petal in this beautiful fresh air, which I really haven’t breathed- in fully, in five days, and I am NOT going to cry once today, because EVERYONE is leaving me tomorrow including my husband ( to Florida with his horses for the winter, with visits home until March-)And for good measure, I am putting on a real pair of pants.
Happy New Year!
You made me laugh about the pants. I get it!
Fantastic! You made my day….I am going to go for a long walk in the conservation area near my home. Then I will take a hot bath to warm up. And my thirds thing will be to curl up with a book by the fire.
Sounds like a perfect day!
and to me, too!
This would be a good thing to think about every single day–thank you for the idea! Today, I’m going to spend some time reading my new book I got for Christmas about animals who love each other from different species, “Unlikely Loves,” I’ll clear up a piled-up corner of my bedroom, creating more spaciousness and order, which feels so great, and I’ll go out to dinner with my darling grad school son, who’s usually too busy with studying but has a bit more flexibility over the holidays. Just thinking about these things is bringing a smile to my face!
I need to do that clearing up, too….
1. I gave both kitties extra loves and kitty cookies.
2. My daughter will be visiting from Monterey so I will take her and her bf out for dinner.
3. I will paste a new gratitude on my gratitude board at work. Just looking at all i have to be thankful for makes me feel good!
Exta kitty love! awww
Today I will have a group of family arriving. I will slow down…
Sit and watch the fire in the wood stove with another.
Stand outside in the cool air with the sun on my face feeling my body.
Notice and enjoy the rise and fall (and rise and fall and rise…) of energy in the household.
Writing this I already feel happier. Thank you.
Mindfulness…ahhhh….
Today I am eating banana bread warm with butter, drinking lots of my favorite tea and writing all of which make me smile.
Have a great weekend!
Sounds appealing!
I love this. Been thinking all day: Load the Dice. GREAT IDEA.
My fave dice play? Catching up on all the stuff in the Netflix queue:-)
Loved your suggestions, particularly the part about doing them without guilt!
