The end of this month is moving like molasses for me. It feels like we had our family Christmas about a month ago. Why isn’t it January already?
Had trouble finding sleep again last night. Got up before 7:00 and fiddled around for a bit. Went back to bed around 9:30 and found a couple more hours of sleep. Hard to feel rested though when sleep is hard to find.
Have had trouble finding motivation to do much today. I have gotten about half of the kitchen detailed cleaned. Hoping I can get the other half done yet tonight. What I have gotten done looks good. I want the rest of the kitchen to look that good too.
I am going to do a Final Wishes Workshop on January 13 at 2:00 at my house. It will last about two hours. I will take you through the steps to complete the Five Wishes workbook and give you material to take home so you can write out your final wishes. We may or may not get to the point of completion depending on how quick of a decision maker you are. These things are important and it is more important to get them right for you than to rush through them. Cost is $25. Bring a friend or family member with you. Let me know if you can come so I can make sure to have enough supplies ready.
Feels good to get something on the calendar for next year and get My Hand in Yours started. Hoping to do a monthly workshop of some sort all year. I want to do my part in helping remove some of the fear around death and make death a topic that we can easily talk about. There is so much baggage around the topic of death and most people are terrified to even think of their own death.
The girls gave me 11 egg today. They like this warmer day although the wind is blowing and it doesn’t feel like it is in the mid 50’s. The clouds are rolling in and we have a good chance of getting some rain overnight and into tomorrow. I’ll take every drop we can get. Would be nice if it would rain all night and all day tomorrow.
Tomorrow night a small group of us are gathering to celebrate the Winter Solstice. I always look forward to our sacred ceremony and sharing time. The world would be a much better place for all if everyone had a safe space to share their inner feelings, thoughts and insecurities. We discover we are all more alike than we are different..
Kathy and I are going to Wichita Friday to go to the Spirit Fair. That will be a fun day out. We will probably eat out for lunch that day. Other than that, I have nothing else on my calendar until after Christmas. I will have a couple of quiet days at home through the Christmas weekend. Hope to get lots more cleaning done and start the New Year with a very clean house. Maybe next year I can keep it cleaner than I did this year.
Not feeling so restless today after discovering what it had to tell me. Still have a pit in my stomach that wants to hang around but I’m pretty sure that is body memory from last year’s chaos. It should go away by year’s end.
This is one of those days where I get overwhelmed by too much empty space on my calendar. I feel like I am wasting my life doing nothing. Cleaning is nice but seems rather pointless to keep repeating myself. And this too shall pass……
Grateful I managed to get a workshop on the calendar for net year, grateful for the 11 eggs the girls gave me today, and grateful to know that this too shall pass.
