Had trouble falling asleep again last night. I slept in this morning with a few wake up periods.
Today is Tagen’s 19th birthday. I texted him and asked him what treat he would like for his birthday. He asked for Chocolate dipped Peanut Butter balls. I got those made up early afternoon. I will take them to him either tomorrow morning or Tuesday.
I worked on tax homework a bit more today. I cannot get the right answers on the test questions so I will need to schedule a private session with the facilitator and find out what I am doing wrong. I was getting frustrated and had to stop today.
The dogs are not very happy with us as we are not walking them today. It is 10 degrees right now and way too cold to walk them. They have spent most of the day outside in their pen. They love this cold weather.
Tomorrow afternoon is the meditation. Only have a couple people coming over for it and have several others that are going to watch it on Zoom during the live call. We are recording it for some others to watch it at a more convenient time for them.
Now sure what to think about the inauguration tomorrow. I will not be watching it or tuning into the news for five days starting tomorrow. For some reason I feel like I need to go on record for saying I didn’t vote for him. I understand why he was elected as I think our systems need to be taken down and a new way needs to come forth. He will be the best one to let them break down and to help that happen. I am concerned about the people that will be hurt through this process and the lives that will be turned upside down. I am doing my best to stay above neutral and not spend time worrying about things I cannot change.
I do have a belief that we are going through a world wide transition and that love will prevail in the end. This darkness had to surface to come to the light. I will spend my time sharing light and love with all I know and come into contact with. I will also be attempting to build a bigger Mutual Aid Network so that more people feel they have a bit of a safety net around them. We will all need to reach out to those in our reach and provide whatever support we can to each other.
Grateful for Tagen and all the joy he brings to me, grateful we have an outdoor pen for the dogs so we don’t have to walk them on bitterly cold days, and grateful for the work I have done on myself and my ability to hold space for others.
