tuesday
finally feel like i have let go of the
fog that was keeping me blurred last week
...
my thoughts started to clear and refocus themselves
i can't be grateful enough for the clarity
...
today was wonderfully gray
the skies have been full of rain and have just started letting it go for us
i can't think of a better time to wash the last week away
...
throughout my day of errands and housework...
i did a lot of thinking
thinking about what would make me feel better
after last weeks frustrations...
a little reevaluation was self prescribed
i decided that i would start to use my hands for more than folding the laundry and washing dishes
i have decided to use them to do service
for others
i began calling shelters
learning where and how i could be of help
the need is overwhelming
i have decided that my mind wasn't just for bad television and mindless matters anymore
so...
i picked up all 817 pages of anna karenina and started reading again
my reading list for 2010 is a little intimidating
i have decided to use my time better
focusing and simplifying
it's a change for me and one that is not easy
i have also decided to let the little things gooh how i wish this was easy for me to do
i'm the master at holding on and never letting go
it's exhausting i tell you what
i'm ready to pack that nuance away
...
i'm off now to close the day
ready myself for tomorrow
and
do a little reading
happy to report that i only have 586 pages left of
tolstoy's
anna karenina
Today I am grateful for: mr c...he is very responsible for my happiness...
the pics of the flowers are so cool!

ReplyDeleteSomething wonderful about the rain...I need to let go of a lot of things, I am working on that, and I think I need to let them wash away with the rain, they do me NO good...hope you are better and good for your for using your hands to help others!
ReplyDeleteI totally know where you're coming from with the last couple posts. I've had more than my fair share of "misunderstandings" and "miscommunications" with an in-law. Everything is finally cleared up (7 long years later). It's nice to have it all washed away. Hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteBTW-I read almost all of that book (when Oprah selected it as her bookclub book) and I was very preggers w/ my youngest. I have a small handful of chapters left & didn't finish it when Anson was born cuz I was a little busy. LOL I keep thinking about picking it back up to finish it. It's a really good book!
