Just got back from driving out to the country to watch the full moon rise. My soul needed filled tonight and that did the trick. The moon is orange tonight and big and beautiful and reminded me there is a season for everything.
This morning I went through the file I had for Max’s estate and cleaned out papers I no longer needed. I am almost done with settling his estate. It will be good to be able to put the remaining papers in storage and free up some desk space.
I also cleaned out the file I have for Kathy’s paperwork. I organized it all and clip like papers together. Now I can more easily find what I need. I think we are close to the end of things that need done for her too.
Double checked the records I am keeping for the Love in Action project and made sure they matched with my VENMO account and the things purchased off of Facebook. I do a new tally every week of the money on hand and what I have spent. So far we have enough funds to meet immediate needs but I want to do a Christmas project and will need additional funds for that.
Wrote a letter to my Aunt Marylyn. She calls me regularly but I know she enjoys receiving letters too. I sent her a copy of the Chase County Leader News article about the Love in Action project. She will enjoy that too.
Other than going to watch the moon rise I stayed home all day. I am still in my pajamas. Kathy said something early afternoon about me making this a pajama day. I had forgotten to get dressed when I got up and decided when Kathy said something I would just stay home and keep my pajamas on all day. I didn’t have any where to go and no reason to dirty a set of clothes for only a few hours.
I watched a bit of the Chiefs game but it didn’t keep my attention so I turned it off. I have enjoyed quiet today and the game felt loud to me.
It was good to get the files organized today. I dislike clutter and both files were cluttered and had unnecessary papers in them. When my desk is clean and uncluttered it helps my mind be still. I didn’t find anything that I had missed following up on so that is good. For some reason I have felt more stress doing my siblings things than when I do my own. I don’t want to mess things up for them.
No plans for next week. I may have a zoom call with Max’s bank but not sure it is needed. Thursday someone is coming to do some sort of assessment for Kathy’s application. Not sure what that is all about. Other than that I have another rather free week ahead. The paperwork to transfer Jason’s deed should be finalized next week and the new roof should be put on the rental house that I have for sale. It will be good to get both of those things accomplished. The beef should be ready this week so I will take Nicole’s portion to her one day. I might check to see if Ellexia wants to ride along and go shopping after we deliver the beef.
Today has felt restful and I was able to sit in the in-between space with ease. Some days I can and some days I can’t. Never sure why that is but am grateful for the days where it is easy.
Sitting with lots of empty space ahead. This feels like a rest period for me to prepare me for something big happening later. Never sure what is coming my way but it does help to appreciate the quiet days more. Last time I thought I had lots of empty space days ahead was when my brother died and I haven’t had many since. Sure hoping it isn’t something that drastic again. I have been getting a message from the Universe to simplify my live in as many ways as possible. I can already feel the difference in me in several ways by doing this. There is so much uncertainty in the world right now that one way I counteract that is by simplifying my life. The more peaceful I can be the more peace I can share with others.
Grateful for the beauty of the full moon tonight, grateful my desk is clean and organized, and grateful for empty space days.
