Had a nice day today.  I felt more like myself than I have for a long time.  I got some cleaning done this morning and took a nap this afternoon.  I have been a bit sleep deprived so it felt good to get some sleep.

Tomorrow I am meeting two dear friends for coffee and a good long visit in the morning.  Tuesday I go to Wichita to my mental health counselor.  Wednesday I have training to become a Hospice Volunteer.  It will be a busy week which is what I need right now.

We had a 49.2 wind gust this afternoon.  The wind has been in a big rush all day today.  Sure hope it blows in some rain.  It is so dry I worry about fires.  A fire would be very hard to stop and control with the wind and dry conditions.

Taking things one day at a time right now.  Hard to look too far ahead and know what is going to happen.  It is a good lesson on Being Here Now!  All I can control is my reaction and feelings in this moment.   Sometimes it is hard to stay present when my emotional pain is heavy and I want it to stop.

I had asked myself for lessons on impulsiveness, patience and staying out of anticipation.  I guess I got a big dose of all three this fall.  Not sure I can give myself a passing score yet but am aware of the lesson that is being played out.

Still basking in the love and support of my family and friends.  I am so very blessed to have a strong support system around me.  It makes all the difference in the world.

Grateful to my friends and family for their support, grateful for the internal work I am doing, and grateful for the rain that is headed our way.
