Encouraged

My 30 Day Goal is:
Lose at least 8lbs.

Current Thought:
A very quiet day yesterday. No meetings. Not much in the in box. Spent the morning shuffling stuff around and rereading management documents I had saved on my laptop. Had a three and a half hour conversation with my sister later on in the day. Haven’t caught up with her in a while, So it was good to catch up on all the gossip and hear about the family dinner I wasn’t at because of Little E’s birthday weekend. Needless to say she had comment about various family members. We did talk about other stuff to, ringing, and menopause and other ailments (on her side), and married life in general. It was a nice chat. Learners practice was good, getting them to ring for a longer time period to see how they would fare trying a quarter peal. We rang for 20 mins, and they were ok. Not so many at normal practice and noone else to go to the pub with, so came home and read, and early night.  I’d read somewhere about how to engage with adult children by taking the pressure out of asking questions all the time, and just sending things randomly, photo’s, comment on what you’ve been doing etc. without expectation of response.  I did this last night by sending R a photo of a bowl she used when she was little, that C was using for his cashew nuts. It was quite late when I sent it, but she replied pretty promptly with more than just an emoji. Maybe that theory works.

Current Emotion
Encouraged.

Todays Standard:
I am a woman who:
will tackle difficult things, tasks that just need doing, workouts in the heat, finalising the AGM programme. Getting stuff done.

Todays Sweet Spot:
I think:
I will finish a spreadsheet of data and send it off today, get it out of the way. Workout. Work hard, play hard.

I feel:
Encouraged and enthusiastic enough to tackle difficult things today.

I do:
1) (body) lunchtime walk, Workout. Ringing this evening.
2) (mind) focus on getting this spreadsheet completed.
3) (soul) take care of body, mind and spirit, get out in the sunshine.

Future Self Pep Talk:
There’s no shame in being passionate about something. The real shame is allowing others to decide what we like.

Celebrations/Gratitudes:
Was good to catch up with J yesterday. Haven’t really spoken to her since we visited in May. At least I have one sibling I can talk to.
