Downpour!


This week was a downpour!  Between dealing with crazy things at work and having a sick child, it was definitely outside of the norm.  The meditation seemed to help me get through it all.  However, it is never easy when your thoughts are with your child.  She had a fever and headache every night for a week.  We visited the doctor on Thursday and she tested negative for strep and we were told to wait a few more days to see if it cleared up.  Today she woke up fine and had not had the headache again but got a call that she did actually have strep.  Apparrently you can be negative for a quick test but positive for one that takes longer!  Who knew?!  Because of her illness I canceled our first Girl Scout troop meeting of the season and plans with my family.  So today I feel strange because all of my plans changed and now I am dealing with a mist instead of a downpour.  Will be helping my brother with some medical things on Monday but it looks like we might be heading back to a more scheduled land! Might close the umbrella but may keep it next to me!

Sharing

Have had many thoughts of what to post over the last couple of months but have not been able to get it down for some reason.  The direction of this blog will be changing a bit mainly because my thought processes are changing.  I am making a concerted effort to be more mindful and focused on what I am doing at the time.  It is hard because my mind goes many different directions.  I am meditating again fairly consistently and it seems to be helping me with this.  I am more relaxed and less bothered by things.  I hope as I continue that I will also make my thoughts into my life by encouraging my body to heal.  Placebo affect works - your mind can change your life!  

Watch this video if you want to know more.  I will be sharing more of these and other things I am learning.  I can not guarantee that I will be here all the time but I will DO better.  My friends have seen my latest motto which is from Yoda.- Do or Do Not There is No Try!

Talk more later!
