Wow. Four weeks into the year?
This past week was a week of letting some things go in favor of people and relationships. I feel like I chose the right thing, although I am still recovering all the messes and my lack of keeping up with it all.
I did some art work this week that was so good for me. I did some Soul Restoration work that was helpful. I made a mess all over the place doing it too. And I'm still glad I did it.
Kurt put up a new light in the basement for me today so I can work in my art area at any hour of the day or night. I LOVE light!!! Honestly, after I chose that word, light, I wondered if maybe I should have chosen something else like joy, peace you know something more common. Yet this past week as I have thought and thought about that word I have realized it is the perfect word for me this year. It caused me to admire the sunset with my children this week; it reminded me to open the blinds, it warmed me right up.
There are so many things I could have done a better job with this week. Yet there is a lot I did do. I went to the gym 5 times. I spent time with friends that I cherish. I cut chocolate out of my diet (gasp, I'm still surprised with myself). I ate salad for lunch 4 days in a row. I layed down on the floor and played cards with my three year old. I took a deep breath and re-worded my thoughts before I spoke some thoughts to my oldest daughter that could have been taken negatively. Kurt and I went on a date. I planned and delivered invites for a get together at my house to try to make new friends. I organized a few drawers and Emma's room a lot. {I give it about 5 days to be back to normal!} I read scriptures and listened to inspiring messages. I connected with a few family members who don't live nearby. I went to the post office (one of my most despised errands). I finished two books. I went to bed earlier.
I felt more light in my life! I have a million miles to go, but I am still going to call it a success.
sailing on to month two,
