I have planned a big goal examination. It has not gotten done. I have ordered & am waiting for the arrival of the book, Your Best Year Yet! I have decided due to my cold and wanting to work through this book, that I will declare February 2, my NEW, New Year's! I should have book by then! I should also have all my goals sorted out! I am using February 2, for several reasons. I like having a holiday marker & while I considered Ghandi Day, Groundhog's Day & Imbolc felt more right for this goal setting event.
I have always liked Groundhog's Day. My family was driving through Pennsylvania and I made my Mom drive an extra 40 miles to visit Punxsatawney & Phil. He lives in the library window during the Summer. My kids considered this one of my flakier adventures, but I notice they always mention seeing him in February.
The movie Groundhog's Day, is about doing things over until you get them right. I bought this movie and watch it yearly. I think there is a really important life lesson in this movie.
Imbolc, a Celtic Pagan holiday that falls halfway between the Winter & Spring Solstice falls on February 2, also. It is the start officially of Spring - a time to put a spring into my step & heart!
I will be spending the next few weeks getting ready for my NEW, New Year's. I am feeling comfortable with my decision. There was a time that missing the deadline would have upset me so much that I might have given up. I have finally learned to roll with the punches. So CHEERS!!! Here is to making life changes daily, one bit at a time
I am home sick this weekend. I have a cold. It is nothing life threatening, just one of those things that slows you down until you stop. This weekend, I am stopped.
I have been keeping very busy between babysitting my grandson Chunk, my part time job at the bookstore and of course all the preparations and activity of the holidays. I just reached the end of my energy.
Author Louise Hay suggests that disease is left over from unforgiven angers and other issues of the past. I like her work, but I beg to disagree.I will not deny that the past can effect your heath. However, the present certainly can do the same. Most of my activities leading up to my cold were pleasant. I enjoy my life, simple though it is, it is mine.
It is my belief, that after burning the candle at both ends, my body simply called halt! I am enthroned in my bed surrounded by my dog minions, boxes of delicate tissues, quaffing copious amounts of tea, lemon & honey. My air is perfumed with the scent of the Eucalyptus. I have watched movies between naps and let myself luxuriate guilt free.
If all goes well, I expect to continue today this way, to fully recover. Tomorrow, I will rise and put in a light day. I am feeling better all the time, I just need a bit more time to sniffle the flowers.
