Sure doesn’t feel like Christmas Eve to me. We are having our family Christmas this Saturday. I haven’t caught my Christmas spirit yet – maybe by Saturday I will find some.
Went into Emporia around noon today to get groceries. I waited longer than I should have to go to town and it was crazy busy. I got what I needed and got out-of-town quickly. I had thought about getting something for lunch while I was in town but decided to get out of town. Too many people for my liking today.
Finished putting the puzzle together I had been working on. Still haven’t gotten any cleaning done but I am getting my laundry done. At least I can say I did something today – right?
I have been tired the last few days. It hit me today I am feeling like I did when I first started Bright Line Eating. I must have been eating some sugar and flour on all my travels and am going back through a detox process of some sort. Trusting it will be short-lived and my energy will return quickly. I fell asleep in my chair for a bit this afternoon – woke myself up snoring. I hate when that happens!
Did a meditation this morning and thought about 2019 and what changes I want to make in the New Year. I want to add in some strength training of some sort – haven’t decided what that will look like yet. Also have another big change I am contemplating making. I will do some research on it after the first of the year and see where it goes. Time for me to change things up again.
Two of the three dogs got through the electronic fence barrier again today. I am going to have to walk the yard and see where they are getting through. Maybe the charge on their collars is not holding for two weeks and I need to start charging the collars more often. I’ll have to investigate what is breaking down and get it fixed so they don’t get run over.
Received a gift today. Something is happening tonight and tomorrow that feels like a strong message to me. I feel like I have been given permission to make a big change now. I smile when I think about it as I’m sure that isn’t how the person involved meant for me to interpret their action as. I will take my lessons from the Universe in however they show up. This one feels right on several levels. 2019 may turn into an interesting year for me. Bring it on – I am ready to make some major changes.
Things are still going well with my Match guy. We continue to text, email and talk to each other. He will be coming to see me sometime the end of next week after his sons return home. It will be good to see him again.
May make some more Christmas treats this evening. Not a good day to make fudge as it is too cloudy but I can get two other treats made. Got some oil to fry the New Year’s Cookies in so I will get those made sometime this week. I need to deliver them along with some fudge to my two brothers that live in Lebo. That is as close to giving them a Christmas gift as I get.
Sitting in my quiet, peaceful valley this afternoon. I was rattled for a bit this morning until I realized what was happening was really a gift. Makes it easier to accept their behavior when I can see it like that.
Grateful for meditation and the gifts it can bring to me, grateful for my Match guy and the way he makes me smile, and grateful for the peace and quiet of the prairie today.
