Today was my mom's 60th birthday.. and I really wished with all my heart I was there with her. I kind of started the day feeling down, then the feeling spiraled into frustration and misery. I was upset and grumpy and sadly took it out on my son and husbanf while I vacuumed our home... and then sat down and burst into tears, allowing myself to feel what I felt. I said some affirmations namely 'Life supports me and I support life... all is well in my world' and felt better after a while.
A dear friend Caroline came over spontaneously in the evening and we spoke a lot about how to get rid of that inner voice.. you know the one that finds a way to make you feel inadequate.. It takes a lot of practicing.. 4 months and I am still practicing.
What made me happy today.
1. 'Me-time' - I had 2 full hours, on a weekend for myself.
2. I read a few wonderful magazines during my 'me-time''
3. The support I received from my friends on facebook.
4. Caroline's chats and visit.
5. The 5 minutes my husband and I spent teasing each other while the energizer calmed down watching Wall.E
6. My sister and I had a good laugh about our mom.
