ANGELS APPEAR AT THE STRANGEST TIME

An angel appeared to me today as I cancelled my lunch plans.....we were having a discussion on acceptance of one's self at "61".....necessary losses that we have to acknowledge, realization of how privileged we are to be where we are......so many choices are at our feet....realization of what I am really unhappy with in my life, and how simple it will be to take steps to make it better. Words of wisdom from a dear friend who knows me well, worts and all.....a new beginning this afternoon. Thank you, my friend.......

AWARENESS

Was going to take Lola to doggy daycare, but on the way there, I changed my mind. She was being good.....not gotten into trouble yet today......and I only have one thing planned for the day. I went downstairs with her, and as she played, I did my first weight workout in two and a half years. Amazing how strong I used to be.....but it's about today. I appreciated what I could do....made sure I didn't overdo it and had a smile on my face when I was through.......enjoy what I can do today, whatever, it is..........wow, that didn't take too much effort......aaaaaaah...

NEW BEGINNINGS

As my journey to peace begins, I have had a great start to a new day. My dog Lola kept her crate clean last night (if you know what I mean).....What a difference that made. Worked out early in our little gym downstairs with Gary at 6:00 a.m., read the paper leisurely, washed my hair...had some breakfast, and now I am off to take Lola to her intensive day care. I have a few things I would like to get done today. My goal is to stay off "overload".......I create my own chaos.......I must silence some of the chaos one day at a time....I feel a sense of peace......wow.....
I did my breathing exercises this morning. I am sensing today will be a better day......

THE CHAOS MUST BE SILENCED BEFORE A NEW JOURNEY BEGINS

one step at a time.......one hour at a time.......one day at a time. recognition of every mundane achievement....and realizing for me, that is a giant step......deep breaths at this new "awareness" in my life. Shhhhhhhh......the quiet is wonderful.
