What a beautiful fall like day. So grateful for the break in the temperatures. I can smell fall coming!

This has been a stay at home day for me. I got three loads of laundry washed, dried and folded. Even got fresh sheets put on my bed. Somedays I can’t make myself fold my clothes so always grateful when I can get that done. It will be nice to climb in a fresh bed tonight.

Haven’t done much else today. This day has felt like it has lasted three days long. Not sure why time went so slow today, it usually doesn’t do that. I have a bit of anxiety in my background today. Not sure what it is trying to tell me.

Wrote the checks to pay the estimated tax liability on the sale of my house and the rental houses. Ouch! Sure wish I could designate when I pay my taxes how I would like the money to be spent. Wonder how other people would designate their money if that was an option?

No plans for tomorrow other than another stay at home day. I may get a third one on Tuesday as I don’t have anything on my calendar that day either. I may be looking for something to do by then!

Sitting with my anxiety tonight waiting for it to tell me what I need to know. It feels a bit like the in between feeling when things are unsettled but nothing to do. I must need more practice allowing. Maybe I will reread Pema Chodron’s book “Comfortable with Uncertainty”. Her writings always put me back right with the world.

Grateful for teachers like Pema that remind me life is full of change, grateful for this beautiful day, and grateful for a stay at home day.
