Hoping

My 30 Day Goal is:
Enjoy the Christmas period whilst still taking care of exercise and fueling my body well without missing out.

Current Thought:
Lots done yesterday. Food prep done first thing whilst C was at church. There was no ringing, so had plenty of time. The family gathering started off well. It was a bit over orchestrated, J had decided who sat with whom, then got annoyed when people ordered extra from what they’d submitted. Not entirely sure the billl was properly sorted out, some over paying, and others under paying. Back at HQ we had birthday cake, before Dad came out with a random suggestion about giving to Charity next year instead of giving Christmas presents. That lead to a whole debate on giving, receiving, the thought that counts, etc, etc. I’m not sure we got anywhere other than frustrated. I’d tried talking to T’s partner and he just moped in the corner. My brother’s wife and daughter completely blanked me and when it was time to leave every one got hugs from my brother, and one of my sisters, except me. Made me feel a bit unloved. Took R to the station, then back home for a rather heated meeting, with lots of high emotion and difficult to take proper Minutes because people talked over each other. Seems they all want to hide behind anonymity as well, but that’s up to them. I only have to do this for a little while longer, then I can step back again. Stressful end to the day.

Current Emotion
Hoping.

Todays Standard:
I am a woman who:
has little actual work to do, but will use the downtime well in generating anonymised minutes, my resignation letter and planning other things.

Todays Sweet Spot:
I think:
I must remember to go ringing straight from work!

I feel:
Hopeful, we can put all this behind us, stop all the backstabbing and move on.

I do:
1) (body) lunchtime walk, ringing, maybe a workout.
2) (mind) using Al tools to assist in tasks.
3) (soul) focus on the next few days of healthy living.

Future Self Pep Talk:
If you have something to share, like skills, knowledge, a kind words, don’t put it off.

Celebrations/Gratitudes:
I did try to have conversations with T’s partner, and my brother’s wife. I did my bit.
