A stay at home day at last. It has been a quiet one and I am grateful for that. I haven’t done much today but rest and listen to the quiet. My soul needed that today.
I did have a nice long conversation with my friends from CA that I met on the Camino. It is always a good day when they call and we chat. They have 12 children and lots of grandchildren and even have some great grandchildren now. Tom was out mowing the yard while Carolyn and I chatted. He is 88 and still going strong. Impressive!
Tomorrow I plan on staying home again. I will watch the Super Bowl in the evening but other than that have no plans. Monday I have a doctor’s appointment in Emporia and Tuesday I have to go to KC for a test to wrap up the KU research program. Wednesday is a free day. Thursday I will do taxes and Friday I have to go back to KC for the final event in the program. Next weekend looks free and clear so far.
While I am in town Monday I will drop off my taxes at my accountant’s office. It will be good to pass those off. I won’t hear back until mid March but at least she will have them to work on as she finds time to do so. I also need to stop and drop off a note for Tagen.
Not looking forward to the snow that is to come in sometime Tuesday through Thursday. I shall see if I can make it to KC Tuesday or if I will need to reschedule. I think last year I had to reschedule as we had a winter storm then too.
Nicole had a close friend transition today due to a heart attack. My heart is heavy for her. Life doesn’t feel fair sometimes.
Still feeling a bit of restlessness or anxiety in my background. Slowly but surely what is happening in DC is moving into my reality as I read that more and more local and state programs and people are being challenged by all the changes. I suppose when it starts hitting each of us personally people may start taking notice and speaking up more.
It is so hard to get real truth and facts these days. I spent some time today trying to find out if some posts were truth or lies. Never did figure out one of them. Two realities occurring for sure.
I keep reminding myself the only thing I have control over is my own reaction to what is happening. My job right now is to stay grounded and regulated and to radiate love to all I encounter. The rest is just noise and distractions. I can worry all I want and it won’t change anything other than to pull me down into the muck pond.
Grateful for the phone call I had today with my dear friends, grateful for a day of rest and quiet, and grateful to let go and let it be.
