Good golly

I sat down to write today and really am not feeling like I have anything interesting...so I am going to list my 'things' that are keeping me busy:

• Chaperoning play practice (just today thank goodness)
• Writing communication survey for PTA
• Reading the book SWITCH which is about change and is very interesting
• Re-reading the Joy Diet because I am going to run a course on it...wanna join?
• Organizing my office and house based on the ideas of David Allen, Getting Things Done
• Networking with new people outside of my normal circle
• Coaching clients
• Creating visual journal pages (my new addiction)
• Eating healthier AND eating candy...as I pop a mini Heath Bar into my mouth
• Supporting my children with their learning goals
• Keeping the 'flippin' house clean grrrrrr

OK...now that I've listed it all...I must do, do, do...ciao for now! (that brings me back to 1987 when I lived in Italy and that was what I wrote on all my letters back to the states).

I like busy

Today was the kind of day that feels really good yet really really busy...I think I like busy.

KISS

This post was supposed to be published yesterday but I guess I didn't push the "publish" button:

Right now in the background I can hear a cover mix of KISS songs sung by current rock artists. I believe this was my husband's favorite band at one time which inspired his purchase of the cover CD.

I was made for lovin you baby, you were made for lovin me.

I wonder if his neck will ache from the head banging going on in our house. What a fun family experience...I guess?

Clean sheets

Isn't it just the best to tuck into freshly washed (and dried) sheets? Mine are calling to me. I will tuck in with my book and my glasses (now a must) to have a good read and then to sleep. That is my definition of a lovely night. I flit, I float, I fleetly I fly....goodbye...goodbye...goodbyeeeeeee.

Good golly I'm a goofball!

11. Life

Feel

First word that came to my mind.

I feel warm and cozy.

Why?

'Cause I just took a hot shower.

I'm wrapped in my big warm robe.

I want to crawl into my big warm bed and read.

What I am instead going to do is ready for a date.

With my hair dresser.

I want bangs.

I want to look a little more put together.

I sense change 'is 'acomin'

and I want to look good for it.

Maybe I'll read for 20 though.

Maybe.

STUFF

I am reading book with the title STUFF (about compulsive hoarding).

It is fascinating to me.

I am semi-obsessed with organizational shows.

I get a charge out of helping others organize.

I am following my interests and I am holding an open heart and mind for what it means for me.

My next read is Joy Diet...a book that may even be seen as the opposite of the STUFF book.

Focus

I don't seem to want to do it today (focus that is).

Lots of dibbling and dabbling.

Distractions abound.

I will 'step away' from this spot.

AND do what?

Hmmmm my book sounds like a good start...

Oh, but there are dishes to wash

And beds to make

And clients to contact

And And And....

Focus crazy lady, FOCUS!

Today I

...am feeling as if I'm hitting on all cylinders.

I don't feel anxious or buzzy, I actually feel calm and peaceful.

I'm thinking that this is what it feels like to feel authentically living your life. When there is a buzz, I wonder if it is a more surface-level approach.

The feeling I have feels as if it is deep inside....as if it is becoming part of my DNA.

I like this feeling.

I will notice it more.

I will also notice the Buzzy kind too.

It is all good!

On track barely

I have a desire to be more regular here.

I had a day of trying to put order to my holiday scrambled life.

I am finally here writing in this blog.

I am feeling more order in my life.

I have found time to type.

However, what to type is what I didn't find.

So this post ends here...

Catcha later
