Have enjoyed a nice leisurely morning for a change. no rushing around to get breakfast, shower and downtown. of course, I have had feelings of shame, doubt and selfishness around this decision. Only because I have not stayed home like this for a while.
I devoted most of the morning to devotions, reading and prayer. Something I give short-thrift too often any more. But, had I gotten up earlier, I could have done it all and still gone downtown.
I was a bit tired this morning when I first woke up so, that is why my decision to lounge longer.
I'll forgive myself. Perhaps tomorrow I'll feel like awaking earlier. And, perhaps it will be warmer tomorrow.
I am Grateful and Thankful...
for God's Grace -it's not earned. It is given. There is nothing I can do to "earn" it (although, I still try)
for Precious and her sweet cat-personality and her love toward me. She is a delight in my life
that I must end this desire to "take care of" other's in my life. I need to take care of me and not give away so much to where I don't have for myself down the line. This issue has been causing me great internal struggle for awhile.
for the bagel and cream cheese I just ate. Now I feel better able to do more moving around
I now feel the walls of the house closing in on me and must get my day started.
I have a birthday card to get and send, better get on it.
to be alive and well today. I also have a desire to stay this way so have made a commitment to have a complete physical. Should have called and made appointments today. I still can and will after my shower.
that writing and talking to other's helps me get things worked out in my mind and also, getting things done.
that I have company in friends and loved ones-I am not alone
Thank YOU
