Drive

Glad for a lie in.  That I figured out how to work the grill and made friends lunch for tomorrow.

That I got to the beach and enjoyed reading my book.  And was heading back before the rain started. 

For being stopped in traffic and able to phone friend & car stereo connecting- thankfully for modern tech.  That it was easy to turn around & I did so before the one way system.

We got a table at the restaurant & there was something I liked on the menu.  It was a good choice

Kept friend in view on drive back- especially important cos the road was closed once I thought of knew where I was going.  

Also that she has similar thoughts to me about someone.  Friend is excited about his new house.  Another friend has confirmed for Monday so hopefully will work out.  Glad I had the patience to try again.

Remembering how fabulous husband is.  Can't wait to be back with him.

Lessons

Thankful for a day off to rest.  That friend confirmed for Fri (showing she didn't take offence the other day).

That friend gave me a key so I can come & go as I please, & that I brought the car so I can get around.  For being able to stay with a different friend next week and being able to see different people.  Also to draw a line under the people here.

For the opportunity to enforce a self care boundary.  For seeing the growth in myself where previously I would have been more obliging.   Also for the realisations I've had about what annoys me and how it's not fair to put my expectations on others.  For seeing the wisdom of my boss's approach - accommodation because there's no benefit to getting worked up.  Other people are whi they are.  And we only think we know them, that we predict their likely behaviour based on previous experience. 

For the reminder that we are all one.  For being able to clarify some of my ideas.  Seems like a spiritual experience I has is similar to some near death experiences and am glad I didn't have to be near death for my experience.  For the people I have met along the way & the lessons I have learnt 

For the friends who've made effort to see me.   And for being spoilt.  I made friends here, mostly in latter years and I can do so in Ireland.  A positive reminder.  Time to focus and manifest, & let go of the outcome.  To be who I want to attract.

Friends

Glad there's no drain in the gutter where I dropped my keys.

That I drove to the beach rather than us walking down. 

Drive

Thankful to have a reliable car and to arrive safely.   That I am fit to drive.

Friend likes all the treats I brought.  That shopping was easy and filled the required time.  That friend was in her shop & we had a nice chat.  And I got friend nice soap.  Also got the crystals I was after.

That the journey was uneventful and straight forward.  I got parked and got to use the loo.   Chancing my arm at the cafe paid off.

There was a space for me outside friend's house and she's given me the spare key.   The bed is comfy.

She loved the shawls too.

Support

Thankful to be able to pull straight out of the garage with no traffic.  For the opportunities to wave people out on the way down.

That I was able to get the advisory work done, & paid for.

To remember the concept of pronoia.  Expecting better health will help - & I have been less fatigued today.  Think most of my steps have been woolwork. Found enough wool to keep me entertained today, & managed to get it all untangled.

That parking angel is magic and I think a health angel is next and the idea will help friend too.  Excited about my trip.  

That my mum seems better able to deal with my dad now, & sees the wisdom in what I've been saying. 

Chose well at dinner & will manage the rest for lunch - also arranged some basic shopping for Fran.  Glad to be able to stay with her.

Support

Thankful someone arranged the meal, & that we met beforehand.  Also for there being instructions for parking, & I met them easily.  It was a quiet pub so we chatted.

It was enjoyable.  A couple of nice touches - like not having me sat on the end, so I felt included.  Hugs at the end.  

& that another night out is organised. That I like the team and my boss. For having the reduced hours & being fairly free to come and go as I please.

For husband being so laid back and accepting.  That I have no obligations, & my time is my own.

That the packing is mostly done - I have as much as I need and can pick up whatever I need when o get there.  Excited about the trip.  The overnight ferry is the right choice so I can take my time getting there and I got to join in last night.

That friend's gift has arrived at my parent's. 

Rest

Thankful I have a supportive boss who is happy for me to come and go as I need to.   That I've taken breaks as I need to this week and am getting through the work however slowly.

That the dentist did my filling without comment and spared me the lecture this time.  The crown repair still looks in good shape and my next appointment is after my holiday.

Friend has a day off next week which I'm looking forward to.  Am pleased to get to spend some proper time with her.  Am excited about the trip.

Workmate is on the same ferry as me - will be good to have a little bit of company.   Made for a fun chat at team meeting, & the boss had a laugh with us about it - sometimes he does.  Glad I am in a good team & we do get to have a laugh.  And the boss joins in / let's us.  It's important for the team.

Thankful for access to health care, the doctor, the dentist.  And for having a job, & friends.  Thankful for being able to enjoy my life, & keep sight of my blessings even when I'm struggling.
