For some reason this feels more like a Saturday instead of a Friday. Thinking it is because my weekend guests came in on a Thursday. When you don’t do much everyday blends into the next and it is hard to keep track of what day it is.
Two of the three guests arrived a bit early yesterday. They checked in around 1:15. They had driven straight through coming from New Jersey. The other one arrived around 2:30. All three are very nice and I have enjoyed their company. They fixed dinner last night while I was with some friends in the library. They managed to find everything they needed to cook with. They also cooked breakfast this morning and enjoyed some fresh eggs. We sat outside around the fire pit for quite a while last night visiting. They stayed up later than I did so they could enjoy the night sky. Two of them got in Kathy’s hot tub and relaxed. They are easy guests and are the type I can leave alone in the house.
Got the stained glass pieces all cleaned up. They are shining again! My friend is going to pick them up this afternoon and get started putting them in the doors. I ordered curtains for the doors that will be moved to become my bedroom doors. I don’t usually like curtains but will need something so my guests won’t have to see me sleeping and getting dressed.
Finally lost another pound today. Down 30 pounds from when I started Bright Lines on February 11. 11 more to go to get to goal weight and maybe another three after that. I’ll see what my body wants to weigh when I get there. I would be happy at my first goal weight. The last three would give me some wiggle room. I have found on this plan my weight tends to go up and down one or two pounds frequently.
Nothing on my calendar today once I finish laundry and put away the guest towels. The rest of their rooms have been tidied up. I am going to have lunch with Kathy and a friend of ours.
Tomorrow afternoon I am going to KC. The school where I went for energy healing training is having a reunion and I am going to the picnic they are having Saturday evening. It will be fun to see some of my classmates and other friends I have met through Core Star. May go up a bit early and do some shopping if I can think of anything I need. If not I will just drive up for the picnic and drive home. Nicole is camping this weekend so won’t get to see her. I will probably end up driving longer than I stay in KC.
Loving the cool weather we had last night and this morning. Almost had to put a jacket on to sit out on the swings last night. After so many days in the mid to upper 90’s it is a big relief to have a bit of a cool down. It is forecast to be back in the 90’s by Tuesday and then stay there for another long stretch. Wish we had gotten some rain with the cool down but I will take the cool down anyways.
Had a beautiful Summer Solstice ceremony last night with a dear group of friends. We celebrated our own lights and the progress we each have made. Sometimes I forget to look back and fully appreciate how far I have come! I tend to focus on how far I still have to go. I barely remember how I used to be 10 years ago now. I don’t recognize that person any more. I like where I am now much better. I have so much more joy and peace in my life now. My mood is much more stable. I can now practice a pause most times and not rush into things where I don’t need to go.
Grateful for friends I can celebrate Solstice with, grateful for easy guests again, and grateful for empty space on my calendar today – I will cherish it today!
