Erudite

I’m currently feeling:
Rested.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Full of cold now, but yesterday when I got home from work I was thoroughly exhausted. I didn’t do a JWW partly because I couldn’t breathe properly and partly because I was tired from not having slept well the night before and from coughing and sneezing all day. We had a light meal then I fell asleep. I woke up once for a coughing fit then fell asleep again. I woke up at bedtime and slept again, pretty much straight through only coughing when I changed positions. I guess my body needed rest. I woke up when the alarm went off and found it hard to just lay there. Once I started sneezing again I got up. The coughing and sneezing seem less violent this morning and my ears are now bunged up. Other than that I can breathe better even though my nose feels burged too.

My desired feeling:
Erudite.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Between us, C and I are giving a talk to visitors to the Cathedral about our bells this afternoon. That’s if I can string a few sentences together without a coughing fit. It’s a short talk to about 100 people, then 20+ of them have signed up to come up and watch some demonstration ringing, and maybe look at the bells. It’ll take a couple of hours end to end this afternoon. I need to write some notes about what to say yet. No point in going into too much detail about method ringing etc.

I‘ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Grey jeans, black/white striped top. Gibraltar bracelet, birthstones necklace and diamond hoop earrings. Several other jobs to do today that require practical attire.

I will show up for myself by:
Listening to my body needs as it recovers from this cold. The worst is probably over now, but it’s that lingering fuzziness.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Not upgrading as such, but showing off our ringing chamber and bells to others. Showing what we’re good at. Another task for today is create a birthday cake for the family gathering tomorrow. I only really have this morning to get it done but have no inspiration yet.

I will show up for my extra ordinary goal by:
Finalising the assessment documentation from Wednesday. I haven’t sent it off yet but it won’t take long. Confirming next ringing sessions for our learners.

Today I am:
Busy.

Today I am grateful for:
Feeling a bit better this morning. My body needed time to deal with a cold, so I let it without pushing it. That way I can come back stronger.
