I passed the two tax preparation class tests I needed to take. One I had studied for and the other I couldn’t find the material to study but had a copy of the test. The answers seemed pretty common sense so I decided to try it. You get two tries before you are kicked out of class and only need 80% correct. I missed one out of 10. Trusting the tests we take during class this week will be that easy.
It is a beautiful winter day on the prairie today. The moon was so bright last night I didn’t have to turn a light on when I got up to go to the bathroom. I was awake for a bit before the sun came up and the pre-sunrise colors were amazing. I fell back asleep before the sun came up. The moon was close to setting in the west and was wonderful to watch.
I’m excited to see the full wolf moon rise tonight and then watch the lunar eclipse that will be happening. Clouds are to roll in sometime this evening so trusting they will stay away from the moon.
After I do chicken chores I need to get after my income tax records and finish them up. Once I start my volunteer job I won’t have as much free time and I would like to have my taxes done before I start that job February 4.
It was like an ice skating rink walking down to do chicken chores yesterday. The pen mud had frozen over and was very slick. Even the snow on the grass was slick. I walked very slowly and carefully and managed not to fall. It looks like things are melting a bit today so the trip down and back may be easier today. I had to chip ice away from the door to get it opened yesterday. They will need water today so am trusting I can get it down there safely and then not spill it all over when I fill their container. I have been known to do that.
Tuesday I go to the foot doctor in Wichita. It is to snow Tuesday late afternoon. Hope I get down and back without weather issues. I have tax prep class in Emporia that night. I hate driving in snowing, ice or rain.
I need to go to town and go to the grocery store. I’m waiting to see if I need to babysit Ellexia tonight if Michelle gets called into work. I may wait until tomorrow to go if I don’t babysit as the roads will be clear by then. I haven’t checked my driveway to see if I can get out. Thinking I can as the snow really didn’t pile up too deep close to the house.
Still sitting in my peaceful valley today. I feel refilled and balanced today. I love when that happens and wish I knew how to make it happen. Stopping and resting and allowing myself to be seems to help me find that space again. Life seems to be in perspective for me today. I can stay fully present in this moment and the worry about the future seems to have receded.
Grateful for the beautiful moon last night that lit my house, grateful for passing my two tests, and grateful for the peaceful valley I find myself in today.
