I'm already a bit anxious about Fitting Everything In once the new hours start so my plan is to get ahead of myself in advance. This morning I want to finish ordering the Christian Aid Week resources for example. And if I can maybe build up my hours in my other hjobs I will have a head start.
Meanwhile tho, I've been a bit derailed by an amazing blog that has touched some deep unhealed stuff. I'm so delighted to have come across it and have signed up to get it daily, tho right now can't handle more than the one I just read. I think lots of us are often alarmed when people get upset, but as you perhaps know, I'm of the view that feelings are best held up to the light rather than buried, so I'm always grateful when I get opportunities to identify my struggles so I can move through them, rather than leave them festering inside. It is perfect that I have a counselling session to start my morning/week - am going to have to work out how to keep those invaluable sessions going despite the time squeeze. I've been counselling now, most weeks (there have been holidays!) for 15 years. When I told a friend this the other day, she said that explained why I am so zen. I don't know about that, but I do know I would not have coped as well with life's challenges if I hadn't had that safe space to offload, reflect and re-evaluate all that has been going on so that I could continue stronger and clearer. If you don't have your own safe space yet, I'd encourage you to create one (or several!!).
So many gifts today, so much to be grateful for, such as the beautiful sunset. Also lots of recognition and wisdom from friends.
