Had lunch today with my Mom, we ate at India Palace (the last time we ate there together was the Saturday before I was let go of Juut; Sept. 28). It is one of our favorite places to dine. She had a lamb dish and I had a chicken korma. We went out so I could find a new pair of shoes to go with my work pants; I haven't purchased new work shoes in a few years so although it felt like a big gulp, it will be good to have them and they should last a while.
Got to hang out with Pippa tonight, watched a bit of a 1960s film A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. I was going to go over to Laura's for a game night, but I don't think that will work out after all with my need for sleep/relaxation before yoga tomorrow.
Today I did not complete my daily minimum (did not practice of sun salutations or meditation - yet, I still might meditate before sleeping). My body told me I needed to take a break today from the physical activity and I took it.
Daily Meal: Lunch with Mom around 3:30 p.m. Delightfully well-rounded and tasted delicious. We did not have any distractions, nor did either of us talk while we were eating. We remained seated and I can say for my part that I did not have more than two handfuls of food (the rest is in my fridge right now, waiting to be eaten tomorrow).
Daily Gratitude: I woke up well rested, the first time in weeks (I did not have any anxiety in my third chakra either)! I woke up initially at 6 a.m. I should have gotten up then but I talked myself into going back to sleep, then I stayed in bed until 9 a.m. Despite my sloth, I was happy to have a slow morning at home, sipping herbal tea while finishing Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown. I feel like today will be a productive day. Although I don't have the inclination to participate in the day-long master class (I had considered it earlier) I will be happy to be out in the sunlight today, taking it all in and not worrying about my weekend/month long unemployment/vacation coming to an end. I have been very blessed this month in connecting with others and being able to share my story. I hope that I have enriched the lives of others as much as they have touched mine. I am trying to share my gratitude as much as possible by increasing the amount of effort I put into meaningful connection, saying thank you and sending notes of thanks in the mail.
