What a fun gathering of friends we had today to watch the solar eclipse. My friends that came were just as excited about seeing the eclipse as I was. It was very cloudy but the clouds would part just often enough that we got to see the sun become eclipsed by the moon. Amazing really since it was so cloudy. The sun looked more like the moon during the eclipse process. We didn’t get to see the ring of fire that others way south and west of us got to see but we definitely could see the progression of the moon covering the sun and then retreating.
I served a taco lunch that went over well. All of us enjoyed eating and the company around the table. I need to do this more often. I really enjoy having good friends over.
I’m tired this afternoon. I felt weird this morning and finally realized it was from the energy of the eclipse. I have felt better as the day went on but feel drained this afternoon. A good nap will fix that!
I am so looking forward to a couple days of empty space ahead of me next week. I am going to Topeka for a football game Monday evening but have the rest of the week free. I will continue working on getting my house deep cleaned and puttering around the house. It will feel good to not have much on my to-do list.
Thursday Cody is coming to play for the day. I asked Ellexia if she wanted to bring a friend out and come out for the day too. She will help me keep Cody entertained. He is easy to entertain if I let him watch TV all day. I try not to do that though.
It is only to reach 51 for the high today and tomorrow. Man! Where did the warm weather go all of a sudden? It is to warm back up a bit next week. This time of year you never know what the temperature will be from day to day. I am looking forward to the wind calming down a bit. The last two days have been very windy on top of this hill.
I can’t believe Christmas is only a little over two months away. This year has flown by. I guess I need to start thinking about the holidays and what I want to do with them this year. Last year I was in a fog and didn’t do much. I never did get my Christmas tree put up. We didn’t have our Christmas celebration until January and by then it was too late to put the tree up. Not sure I will put it up this year either. We shall see what my mood is and if I do or not. I don’t think anyone missed it last year – at least if they did they didn’t say anything.
Tagen got to play a couple of times during the game last night. Unfortunately his team lost big again. They had some good plays but never did find the end zone with the ball. It has been a very tough season for them. So proud of him for sticking it out to the end of the season. He has one more varsity game to go and two more JV games. Trusting he will make it through them without an injury.
Doing my bet to stay grounded and above neutral level on the chart of consciousness. The world feels scary and out of control right now. I am limiting myself on how much news I read daily. Fear does not serve me well and I need to stay out of it. I am hoping with the eclipse over, things can start to calm back down a bit. It never ceases to amaze me how humans can hurt each other. Preferences have become confused with truth. Not sure what it will take to change the global tide. Staying out of fear and in love is the only thing I know I can do.
Grateful for friends that appreciate the wonders of the universe and celebrate them with me, grateful for empty space that allows me to recharge and refill, and grateful for a warm house on this cool, fall day.
