This has been a quiet, stay-at-home day for me. I even managed to take a nice, long nap this afternoon. These are my favorite type of days.
A family came over to get some forms notarized. I had set out the patches the lady made for the fundraiser at the Rally in Wichita the 28th so I could send one to a donor. The family that came over saw them and loved them and ended up buying some of them so I raised $75 more dollars for Love in Action. That was easy!
I have two checks to take to the bank tomorrow on my way to Emporia to meet a friend for lunch. Love in Action now has a surplus of funds which should last for several months, if not more. We don’t have any special events or projects that require funds right now so I have suspended fundraising efforts at this point. There are plenty of good causes that have immediate needs and I would rather people donate to those causes for now.
My left hip has been bothering me for a couple of days. It hurts when I stand up and start walking. It calms down for a bit and then reminds me it is there. I dug out my heating pad and used it while I took a nap today. It feels better this evening. Not sure what I did to cause the pain. I trust it will calm down and stay calmed down soon.
I need to remember to pick up a prescription when I go to town tomorrow to meet a friend for lunch. It has been ready for a couple of days and I didn’t want to waste gas and go to town for one thing. I probably ought to check what groceries I may need for our family day next Sunday and pick those up while I am there. I think I will probably have to do taxes Tuesday so will have another chance if I forget Monday. Not sure I will be needed on Wednesday.
I have a very small pending list and current to do list right now. Lots of empty space time coming up for me. Some days that feels comfortable and other days not so much. I do better when I have a bit of structure to work around. It does feel like I have a new season of sorts coming up and that it will be revealed to me why my calendar is empty. Now I need to remind myself to have patience so whatever is coming will have space to enter.
I attempted to watch a movie this evening and had to turn off the TV. My body is craving silence right now. The outer world noise is a bit overwhelming right now. When I can connect to my inner being I can feel the peace and calm that is there. I attempt to carry that awareness with me as I go out and about amongst others. The world energy is shifting and that peace and calm for all is on its way if one is quiet enough to feel it and become it.
Grateful for a quiet day at home, grateful to have raised a bit more funds for Love in Action, and grateful for empty space ahead.
