Oops, no KC Chiefs game today. I guess since the main starters didn’t play last week I thought that was their bye week – silly me.
It was treacherous walking the dogs today. I think today was the slickest day yet. We got just a bit of freezing rain last night and had a bit of wind today. Things melted yesterday and then the freezing rain came down. With the wind things were like an ice skating rink out there today. I slide once but didn’t go down. We ended up walking through the snow by the road – it felt safer than the slick roads.
I made a big batch of chicken and noodle soup today. I will have trouble eating it all up this week as I made too much. It sure tasted good but am betting I will get tired of it before it is gone.
Haven’t done much else today. I have to be out and about tomorrow and used today to make sure I was full of light. I won’t have another rest day until Wednesday.
Kathy is feeling better today so she is going to Council Grove tomorrow if my friend gets delayed at her appointment in Emporia. That way I can go to exercise at 2:00. I have a birthday party to go to at 3:30 and a tax meeting at 6:30. I will be peopled out by the end of the day.
Tuesday morning a friend is coming over so we can finalize her end of life care plans. Then Tuesday afternoon I am taking Sophia to Dr. Eric to see what he has to say about her episodes. She is doing well right now so not sure he will be able to diagnose her without seeing what she does.
I have a couple of phone calls I need to make to take care of some things. I have the hardest time sometimes making phone calls. Maybe this will be the week that I can get those done.
I need to think of some ways to advertise the meditation that Gentle Thunder is doing on January 20. I haven’t gotten very many responses from people saying they want to come. I will be disappointed if I only have a handful of people participating. I’ll put on my thinking cap and come up with some ideas and do some things to get the word out.
It is to warm up a bit by the end of the week and then another bitter cold front is coming in early next week. Yuck! Don’t see much more moisture in store for us so that is a good thing. Thinking we will have snow on the ground from these last two rounds until February.
I only have four more weeks of going to Emporia Fitness for exercises with a trainer. That year seemed to fly by. I’m grateful I did the program but not sure I would do it again. They didn’t want us to do exercises outside the program and I hit a plateau while doing their exercises and quit progressing. I had anticipated I would be challenged to do more intense exercises throughout the program but that didn’t happen. I will miss meeting with my trainer when the program is over.
Watched some YouTube videos yesterday and today. All of the spiritual teachers I listen to are saying the same thing. My job right now is to stay full of love and light and I am not to get pulled off center by all the distractions that are happening in the global universe. I can’t do anything to change what is happening with them but I can control how I respond and I can extend myself to those within reach. Somedays that doesn’t feel like enough but at another level I understand how it is. Our systems are collapsing around us and we have to rebuild this world in a new way – person to person.
Grateful for safe trips walking the dogs today on very slick roads and sidewalks, grateful for homemade chicken noodle soup, and grateful for the spiritual teachers I listen to.
