I have to say this was quite an invigorating episode and I truly feel as tho I just traveled the world. Yeah!!!! That was the cheapest travel ever, and look at me, I can say I have friends all over the place!! I’m blessed.
The return to my old job has proven to be fantabulous and I feel very comfortable like I belong. It was meant to be. I at first was nervous but it came back quite quickly. One down fall is there’s a wee bit more down time if you will. That leads my brain to think I should fill that time/space with snacks. Oooooops. Must find a strategic alternative and fast.
I’ve been under some stress n so many changes lately. It’s like it all comes/happens at once. Yikes. After renting my home for 17 years the WDOT is buying it to build a freeway interchange. It’s presented an opportunity to possibly buy a home, and financially they’re treating us right, even as tenants not owners, but did I mention I have 17 years worth of raising a family within every crack crevice of that house. Lol. That’s a LOOOOOOOT of stuff. I get yes, I’ll say GET to sort thru pack, throw away, donate. Wow. My boys both moved out a few months ago. I’m not sure if that was good or bad given this circumstance. Onward we go.
Wowser gal! That IS a ton of changes for one short period of time. I’m glad to hear the new/old job is working out well and also glad that you aren’t losing your house without compensation. But I’m betting it is very disconcerting to move to a new place after all of these years, and I salute you for tacking your sorting with just a positive attitude. xoxoxoxox
Dearest mark, thank you thank you thank you!!!! I truly appreciate the walk thru of your insight to meditation and your rendition has encouraged me more to try it out. And now seems like a good time in my life to try it.
Not sure why I’ve resisted meditation but you’ve sure put a GREAT positive spin on it. Again. Thank you!!!!
Dear Dawny, I appreciate the feedback. I’ve always been a skeptic of self-help easy solutions, so when I tried meditation I was doubtful. But, because of Laurie’s good experience with meditation I figured it was worth a try. In a few days it had already started to improve my attitude towards life. So, it is a great joy to me to know sharing my experience has had an effect on other people. So thank you for sharing your thank you with me.
Thanks again Honey for sharing your story with the BCs. You never DO know who is going to benefit. I’m proud of you for trying something new. xoxoxoxox
Bless Mark for embracing meditation and for sharing his thoughts on how his journey is going with it. I so wish my dh would use meditation, though as he walks everyday now I have noticed a much calmer mood and disposition!
Dawny I hope all the changes turn out amazingly, sometimes “enforced” change is terrifying – especially for us compulsive types – though I have often found that when I go with the flow a little more and not resisting or stressing the other side of change is just fine!
Thank you again Laurie for this episode – in class there were 10 Jo’s (Josephines, Joannas, Joannes, Johannas etc) in our year so I am not surprised to share the episode with so many similarly name BCs!
