Good afternoon, everyone!!!
Ahhhh, I do love vacations :) This one did go by too fast, but I am sorta anxious to get back to work. Don't get me wrong there is nothing like time away from the day job, but I do miss the people I work with and my customers. Yes, I said that, LOL.
I've also had some deep thinking moments over the course of vacation time. I realize I definitely need to push the mark a bit more in a few areas of my life. So I begin today working toward those daily goals.
There is an aspect of this life I have been fighting against inwardly and as much as I know it is what happens in life, it is something I know now is my inward growth for this year. Learning to deal with big life changes and coping with them.
Having some thinking time does help get things in perspective for sure. When life is busy all the time and you meet yourself coming and going it is hard to put perspective on where your life is and where you want it to go. So you move through day to day and hope eventually things click in the right direction.
One thing vacation has taught me is I definitely love being a grandma :) Spending time with the grandchildren and getting to see them enjoy life. It makes your heart smile. It also proved to me I enjoy being a grandma. Yes, there's a difference. Raising children you're solely responsible for them. Being a grandma you get to relax and enjoy. Sit back and watch them and the little human beings they are becoming. You get flash backs of their parents when they were young, but you get to see the individualism taking place as well.
I realized also it is time to get back to some of the basics that are me, as well. So for as long as it takes I will be working toward a deeper spiritual connection. I will be getting back to that side of me that makes me who I am. I have always believed spirituality is as individual as a fingerprint. The one mistake I have made in all this time is trying to be a part of a coven, when solitary is where I belong.
Yes, it is nice to be able to converse with like minds, don't get me wrong, but faith, deep faith, does not come from being a part of a group of like minds, it comes from within. Being who I am, being one with Spirit, and connecting on that level. So, I begin again, walking this path as a solitary and embracing where it leads me.
I'm also getting back to my natural side a bit more. I go to my doctor on Monday and I want to discuss with her more natural ways of maintaining my health versus all these meds. I've realized this week how much they are weighing down and suppressing my creativity, my focus, and in general my life. I've allowed this to steal a good deal of my life from me and it goes against everything I am. So hopefully, she will be able to help me find a better healthier path to work toward.
I am also going back to a healthier lifestyle for our pets. Hubby worries over their lack of interest in their food so of course this furbie momma has a plan :) Back to homemade dog food it is. I've been researching and finding ways to go solely to homemade dog food, so now it is time to get the ball rolling in that area.
Something else I've missed terribly but don't know where I would have put the time this year was gardening. So yes, next year I'm going back to that for sure. It is something that grounds me and I should never have said nope I'm not doing it this year. But lesson learned :)
Well if I am going to get anything done today I will need to get off this computer and get to work.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
