Anticipation

I’m currently feeling
Anticipation.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Fab day ahead. Haircut first thing then into London to meet up with R. We’re going to visit the Guildhall Museum and Gallery. Pootle around Central a while, dine out. But most of all, get to hear all R’s news. How Uni is going, work and interning, what plans she has and whether she can get home over Christmas. Lots of walking about. Culture and my favourite people.

My extraordinary goal for the year is…
To be financially savvy again. Planning for early retirement by getting back on track with understanding my savings, investments and pensions.

What result will I produce this month?
Am done spending money now on anything except birthday and Christmas gifts.

My tasks for the day is…
Haircut, then have fun. Erjoy the train journey and revel in the company of one of the most interesting people I know.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
The only thing holding me back is I know nothing of the arrangements. C sorted the train tickets and R booked the venue. I have no actual idea where we are going. I am at their mercy all day.

What thought will I practice instead?
I am not responsible for anything other than enjoying the day.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Lots of walking today. Grey jeans and navy and grey jumper. Gibraltar bracelet, birthstones necklace and diamond stud earnings (both bought by R). Simple, comfortable and warm without being bulky.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
A day of family and culture, eating out, sightseeing and pre-Christmas views of the city.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Interest in art and the museums. Interest in R’s activities. Watching and listening to my favourite person.

My progress and my blessings
We don’t get to see R very often and she’s rubbish about keeping in contact or telling us stuff, but when we do get together its magical.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Mum.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How not to be an overbearing parent to a 26yr old woman. How to be interested in where we are and what we see.

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Today is going to be a great day!
