Windy Gippsland

12.20 Tuesday afternoon

I arrived safely yesterday and had a lovely relaxing evening watching DVDs.

My friend has gone out to TAFE, and I hope she is home soon.

There is a lovely gentle big dog here, to keep me company this morning.

And yes, it is windy - but not really cold... and I had a good sleep.. without too many disturbing dreams.

We are going to go for a drive tomorrow and do some retail therapy, as well as celebrate my friend finishing her course.  Good fun, hey...

A little holiday

10.30 Monday morning.

Instead of the nuns... I am going on a little holiday to visit a friend. I will go today and come back home on Thursday afternoon.

It will be okay...

We will talk, go for a drive, watch DVDs, relax, read, any maybe even pray.

I am thankful my car is fixed.

Thankful...

2.15 pm Friday afternoon

I was going to go to the nuns next week for the week, but am not now...

 I am going to visit a friend in the countryside instead.. we will celebrate her finishing her TAFE course and do some fun stuff, rather than introspection.

 I trust it will be a rest for me.

 I am thankful
For fans in warm humid weather.
 For rain to water my garden.
 For people who have confidence in me and my ability to continue on this journey.
 That God knows,... even though, I don't!

Light and fire

No other words

 Just now...

Dinner

5.15 pm Friday...

 So, I should eat some vegetables today...

 I want to see my counsellor again early next week... but I wasn't doing that anymore... It is once a week now.

 Sunshiny days don't always bring sunshiny feelings...

 I have a canvas I could prepare for my next painting - I have some ideas...

 Just DO it 'Hope'!

Sleep sometimes helps... sometimes it doesn't..

 What about the weeds... what about cleaning my room... what about the vacuuming.

 What do I know about comforting me...

Awake!!

It has been a wakeful morning - from 3.00...

Now it is 6.00 am.

 Somehow the tension of the week - the difficulties on Monday and Tuesday and a full day yesterday caught up with me.

 I am thinking about seeing my therapist today... will I find any words... I guess some how there are always some.

 Some American friends on Facebook were talking about Thanksgiving...

 I commented that there are always things to be thankful for... even on the darkest days.

 I am thankful for the birdsong in the early morning.
 For my God candle.
 For friends.
 For my gifted therapist.
 For the promise of sunshine today.

 I am NOT thankful for spring allergies!!!

The box and doona cover

 Here is the box and below is the doona cover.  The second doona cover is the photo I showed you a couple of months ago.

 By the way ... the car has been going okay today...

 And I am feeling more settled after a stressful couple of days.

 I am having a break from working this week...

 I know it doesn't make sense, when the money would be useful... but I was in such a mess the  past couple of days - that I wanted a more relaxing day today.
