Practices…

Life has been… well, life.  Busy, not busy, frustrating, fun, sad, happy, and well, everything in between.  But it hasn’t been my usual.  I haven’t really rebounded yet from the holidays… starting with Thanksgiving.  

Yesterday afternoon though, I decided it was time.  Time to get back on track.  With my routine, my daily practice, my … well, my everything.  I’ve just been stuck in this limbo of nothingness and busyness and I’ve missed my routine. 

So I picked up my notebook right then and started writing my “morning pages” again, in the afternoon.  Lol. I wrote all three pages and it felt good.  I decided right then that I want to get to back my practices — morning and evening.  So when it was time for bed, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and pulled some cards and the cards I pulled seemed to welcome me back, as if to say, “Welcome home, we missed you!” 

They welcomed me with confirmation of getting back into my flow, of reminders to start where I am, I’m not late, I’m not behind, I’m right on time. Be gentle with myself.  Find my peace, share peace.  And I also heard them say be patient, stop trying to force things.

And so here I am.  I used to blog everyday.  Don’t know that I have that in me BUT I can blog more regularly and not just my reflections on scripture but life in general, my path, my journey, my flow.

The other night I dreamed about an old friend of mine.  I haven’t seen her in years.  We’ve exchanged emails here and there but very few, so I emailed her yesterday, just to “pop in and say hello”.  I felt like there was a reason to reach out, though I didn’t know what but I went with it and she replied and invited me to breakfast this morning!  It was so nice seeing her!  We visited and got caught up with one another.  I’m so glad that I reached out to her.  I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did.

I did write my morning pages again today, in the morning even!  All three pages.  I tidied up the kitchen and packed DH’s lunch. Got myself ready while I had my morning calls with DD and DM and then headed out to meet my friend for breakfast.  I feel like I’ve already had a great day and there’s still more to come.

I guess I’ve been in a funk, but it’s time to come out of it.  Be more in the world, be more myself in the world, get back to being me, and finding my way, my place.

So here’s to my first day back.  We will see how long it lasts but hopefully it does and hopefully I’m better for it.

I hope you are enjoying life, while being fully in it.  That’s my goal for the days to come.  Enjoy life while being fully in it.

Until next time…♥️
