Day 2

Ok, so technically it's day 3, but my sleep schedule is winter-fied, so I'm still counting this as Day 2.  I made it to the gym around 4am.  But I made it and that's all that matters!

It feels so good to keep my commitment to myself!  I brought my macbook, because now there is free wifi at the gym I go to.  I used it to follow one of Zuzka's power yoga videos.  I started out with 10 minutes of very brisk walking on the treadmill, which made my heart sing immediately!  Inexplicable!

So many things to appreciate about today!  First of all, I woke up feeling so relaxed and energized, ready to start my morning.  I love waking up with that feeling!  I took a nice hot shower and ate some yogurt with bananas and honey.  Drank some hot water with lemon.  I dressed in my favorite skirt and I bundled up and walked to work in a glorious, sparkling winter wonderland!  I felt my heart singing all the way to work!  It was so beautiful out!  The sky was amazing, and the snow just felt magical.
At work, I got to slice meat, which means I got to listen to music all by myself in the kitchen downstairs!  I immediately put on this song:

Subsequently I began to dance!  And slice!  Then I went upstairs and chatted with some of my favorite regulars.  They are very sweet, and remind me of my Grandma and Grandpa.  

It was a pretty slow day today, and I felt like I was floating through the day.  I just kept sighing and smiling.  It was a nice day.  I made myself a really good salad for lunch.  Sitting down to lunch was such a wonderful contrast after moving around on my feet all day.  It feels so good to just sink my energy down into my body and root it there.  Yum yum.  

Then, as some drama started brewing, and I had the opportunity to participate in it, I experienced such a wonderful thing!  I started to participate, put forth my two cents, told a little bit of that old story, and then recognized by my Instrument Panel reading that I was creating something I didn't want!  So I stopped!  HAHA!  FUCK YEAH!  That's what it's all about!  That's deliberate creation!

I enjoyed the process of pivoting my thoughts as they kept going back to the drama, and how so-and-so is right and such-and-such should be done about all of this... and I just kept breathing into my Large Self, asking for a Large Self Perspective on all of this, and feeling the ease as I saw that all of them were asking and all of them are powerful Creators, just like me, and that we all have the opportunity to receive the Good that we are being given in any moment.  That the best I can do for my friend is to know that she is powerful, too, and to know that she'll find that Power in her own way and in her own time.  The best I can do is be happy, knowing my own Power, and shining that out in her vicinity.  

When I got home, I immediately took my wonderful doggie for a walk down by the canal near my apartment.  The evening sunshine on the glittery snow was beautiful, and I sat on a bench by the frozen canal and just looked at it for a long while, as my Ollie bear romped like a little lamb through the snow in his hand-made sweater (that I reconstructed out of a hat that I accidentally shrunk in the laundry!).  He's such a cutie.  Light of my life.  I love cuddling with him.  I love having a beautiful little creature that I can snuggle and shower with affection, who just accepts it and enjoys it and even asks for it!  I love being affectionate!

After the lovely walk, I got home and took a long nap.  I woke up at 10pm and had a cowboy breakfast.  It was a little weird this time, but I still ate all of it.  Then I felt sleepy again, so I lay down for a nice long while and cuddled with Ollie.  Then, at 4 am, I went to the gym!  

And now I'm here, and I'm following through on my commitment to myself!  That's such a good feeling!  Man, if I'm feeling this good and it's only Day 2, what will I feel like on Day 30?!  Such good things are on the horizon for me and this amazing world I live in!  

Love,

Adrienne
