projection

I discovered this week that it's far too easy to interpret others people's actions/words in accordance with our own perspective. The feelings and worries we have can really impact upon what we hear in other people's communication with us.
I'm in a very different place this morning than this time yesterday, but I know that's how it goes. I've done a lot of being strong this week and to maintain that I know I sometimes need to do some leaning. I've even put the dishwasher on now even tho it might get sunnier later and so generate more solar energy  (I try and match my energy use to the sun as much as I can!) but I need some background sound as it's so quiet here, I'm off to a party tonight and really looking forwards to it, I need a good dance! I'm going by myself which can take a bit of courage, but am confident that once there I'll find people I know or will find new friends happy to dance with me, particularly if I go with the assumption that everyone there will be delighted to have my company. It's a great assumption to work with and one I offer to you to try when you're feeling doubtful.
Before then tho I have a ridiculously long list of unappealing tasks (14). If I can do them today tho it will mean I can spend the whole of Monday chilling with my boy. My girly now prefers to spend holidays with friends which is understandable, but I'm making the most of my boy time whilst it's still appealing to him :)

(I have done 2 things from the list and added one, this is progress. A friend is now coming over for a swing on my swinging bench. This is a very good thing).

Given in and put heating on. In May! It's so cold tho it was that or go back to bed. Struggling today but I have done 7 things off the list now. Tho one of those is "eat chocolate" that I added just so it could seem like I've made more progress!! I was sitting feeling very sorry for myself when the doorbell rang and it was a woman from church bearing a plate of leftover sandwiches she wondered if I'd want. Admittedly most were meat (lucky dog) but I was touched by the thought. Especially as she then followed it with some leftover cakes. Some may say God moves in mysterious ways :)
