With that thought in mind, I had to put aside The Death of a President book. 781 pages published in 1967 about - encompassing six days in the autumn of 1963 (November 20-25) I find myself wanting to yell at the book. So many signs along the way - "what if's" beyond comprehension. Have enough of that in my mind without tackling 781 pages that speaks to such a tragedy.
Yesterday I headed out in the rain, but got my walk in before the wind picked up AND before the temp dropped. 50+ yesterday this time, now 20-ish. 60 by Sunday. Had my CPP for meal #2! Cleaned the apt.
GREAT EOLD discussion yesterday. Skill Share for Nervous System Support. Lisa Marie went through a very deliberate and focused approach to help others - and ourselves - work through any emotional imbalance or overload. Notice the signals, Identify feels, Name it, See if there is any story or mental narrative attached to it, where is that feeling "being held" in the body, give it space/unconditional acceptance, reach a choice point for action, what does that look like, notice the shift. We went through the process in a directed exercise. So helpful. The Radical Acceptance concept came up in discussion. Lisa Marie gave me a possible road map on how to get there. A big part of the puzzle for me is always the story or mental narrative attached to anxious feelings. Sometimes the "choice point" is tied to not letting my fear overcome my reality. I do know I am capable of so much more when I can let that happen. I know how important it is to let others know they are heard...how about putting myself on that list. Allow myself to "hear" myself with open mind and heart and not in the context of old stories or narratives. It is not lost on me how the world comes to my rescue in spite of myself. :) Also made note of a EOLD who lives where my son lives.
Sent an email to the daughter of a former Houston boss. She is a leap year baby. Her mother and I used to go back and forth about it. Mother has retired and dealing with dementia. Hope she does not mind me sending my Happy Birthday. Also got an email from one of my card recipients. Former school #2 co worker. :) Glad to hear the update. She lives on the beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee.
Today - watch some TV from last night? Chicago Fire? :) Walk - bundled up again. Good news, sad news - Finish up my CPP. :)
You will see your name up in lights over the next few days, or at the very least hear your name spoken of approvingly by friends and strangers alike. Enjoy the adulation but don’t let it go to your head. Modesty is the most attractive virtue.
Setbacks on the job might have you a little depressed and worried. Don't worry, Libra; all will be well. Think of this as a challenge to overcome. Your natural practicality and efficiency will see you through. Someone isn't being totally honest with you. Encourage people around you to open up and communicate a little. What they say may not be all that agreeable, but at least you'll be better able to assess the situation.
You'll be in the mood to clean house and make way for better things, dear Libra, as Mercury and Jupiter share a supportive alliance. Trust that the sacrifices you make now will pay off, finding empowerment in letting go and moving on. Meanwhile, Venus aligns with the Nodes of Fate to elevate your confidence while heightening instincts. Follow that which brings you joy, seizing control of your destiny. The energy bounces around later today when the Scorpio moon aspects Saturn, the sun, Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars. This energy will put you in a highly efficient groove, though you should be mindful to pace yourself to avoid burnout.
Looking forward to Peace Corps program at 11 a.m. and Death Cafe focus group tomorrow at 3 p.m.
Have a good Thursday. Week flying by - again.
