Talked to my son and his family last night. Dealt with correcting bank documents this morning - still need to sign them. Did a LOT of cleaning in the kitchen and am now sitting with my feet up. Tired since I stayed up to finish a book and 2am is...late.
MICHELLE: I love the way you set goals, create affirmations and stick with them till they manifest, and accomplish so much!

Affirmation: Feelings of contentment and caring are my goal. Mind: New thought patterns Body: Walking, Yoga, OP - 9,640 Steps Spiritual growth path: Letting it all go........... Gratitude: Great bird sighting!!! A golden eagle flying around our area looking for lunch.
I was so excited to have seen that bird. When I first saw it I thought it was the biggest hawk I had ever seen in my life so I got out out my bird identification book and found out it was an eagle. Neat things happen when I am driving around the property running Buttercup and Sam.
Cathy: Thanks for the comment! I needed it. I am now trying to get through my annual tsunami of emails generated by a pack of clients sending records for audits. I will overcome!!!
Your gratitude made me laugh--not because it was funny but because it was so incredibly creative!

Affirmation: Nice thoughts -> Nice times
Mind: naughty
Body: nifty
Spirit: nimble
Gratitude: nasturtiums, nectarines, navel oranges eaten today from our trees, never-ending items to be grateful for
Late start to the day...or at least it seems so. We did a LOT of bank stuff and ran some errands and the day has almost come to sundown. I am ready to put my feet up and...relax!
MICHELLE: How wonderful to see an eagle! I heard a pigeon outside...seems someone released pigeons they had owned and they came to our land. Hubby is not thrilled with this as they eat what he plants BUT I do like the way they sound!

More dealing with the tsunami of paper work. It will be like this for about another week then the office work will be a lot less hectic. It makes my affirmation challenging to follow through on but I am surprised at the consistent improvement. If I improve 1% a week, I will be 52% improved after a year. Something to think about.
Cathy: Do you have any idea yet when you will be getting your vaccine? My DB lives in Dearborn, which is where the Ford Motor Company's headquarters are located. There is a push to get assembly line workers done so my DB ended up getting started much earlier than in most cities or states. One less person to worry about! I'd like to add you to the list!!!

Affirmation: Opening up to possibilities brings more than expected
Mind: Open
Body: Obliging
Spirit: Observant
Gratitude Oranges from the garden
The wind is a crazy things sometimes. I have no idea why it is windy today but love the sound of it rustling through the various trees. Those trees were not there when we started building this house but are tall and strong and havens for birds and who knows what else. They also provide for us nuts, fruits, and so much more.
MICHELLE: No idea when my turn for vaccination will roll around. 75 and above have been called to be given second doses and my 82-year-old husband is getting his second next week. They only received 83,000 doses the first week and that was sometime in February, I think? I don't know how quickly the rest will arrive. They think by the end of the year they MIGHT have 80% done? That said...the economy, political situation, and so much more...it is amazing anything like vaccinations are rolling out at all!
As for staying positive in the midst of the paper work you are doing well. I usually look at it as something that will eventually be done and don't let it bug me too much because time passes and whatever is a big thing NOW will be in the past tomorrow...or usually will be  |

I got caught up on my homemaking chores today. Of course the FLYlady says--You are never behind, just begin where you are. This saying--"Begin where you are" has been so helpful to me throughout the years.
Cathy: I envy your fruit trees. I lived in an agricultural area for a few years and I had apricots and nectarines that were absolutely incredible! My little journal came today. Now to get myself to do the quick assignments every night. I can do this!!!

It is windy today. The sun played peek-a-boo for awhile but is hiding now and it might rain. There is a feral/foreign cat that came and took the box we made for Bella...I chased it out BUT it may return. Hmm...
MICHELLE: So glad you finished your household chores. I had two oranges this morning and see there is a pomelo waiting to be eaten soon, too!

Gratitude: My new journal
Errand day for me. Clair and I went to dog obedience and we worked on sharpening her therapy dog skills. She is trained to "Say Hi" or if I give her a command using a Spanish word she will not interact with a person. People generally train a dog by saying "Leave it" which is very off putting so I use the Spanish word for calm. These social skills are very important since she is often confronted by all types of situations very quickly.
Cathy: The only cat we have seen on our property in many years was the Bobcat. Today I saw a herd of deer by the highway using the underpass that has been built for them. Once I saw a very large herd using an underpass which created a deer jamb, just like a car jamb.

Affirmation: Quiet pauses in the day bring peace
Mind: Quick
Body: Quality
Spirit: Questions many things
Gratitude: Quaffing cold beverages on hot days
The sun is out and life is good. I attended a class sponsored by Montblanc that dealt with Signatures...interesting ideas but doubt I will change my signature as it would mean doing it at banks and who knows where else. The next class is about "letters" but am not sure if that is writing the alphabet or writing letters to people
MICHELLE: What a wise woman you are to use a foreign language to let Claire know to be calm...or stay away. I hope you managed to finish all of your errands! I smiled thinking of the deer-jamb  How long does it take deer to figure out underpasses are safer than crossing the road? |

Gratitude: My new journey through life
Today DH helped me deal with the more mind boggling Paper Tigers from work which was fantastic. The time changed so now it stays light until quite a bit later. This means that I am able to play the rousing game of zoomies and attack with the dogs after their dinner. My role is mostly cheerleading. They are such happy dogs!
Cathy: There is fencing along the highway to keep them off the road so they use these underpasses. There are also overpasses that have been built for the moose and deer to keep them off the road to save human lives. Of course without the fencing they are useless. Year ago before the drought drastically reduced the deer population I quit driving at night because of the danger. It was an incredibly nerve racking experience since all of a sudden they would just be there or run across the road.

Affirmation: Realistic expectations improve success
Mind: rational
Body: ready to do what needs to be done
Spirit: reaches out
Gratitude: raised by loving parents
Today's lunch will be onions, garlic, spinach, bulgur and black eyed peas. It will be healthy and tasty and nutritious. I have walked 30 of the planned 60 minutes and will make lunch once the second walk is finished. It will be a good day.
MICHELLE: My son hit a deer on a freeway in Iowa. He couldn't help the deer and felt horrible. I am glad he was not hurt. My daughter, in Missouri, said they are dangerous and just pop out onto the road. I am glad you have fences to keep them off the road! How nice your husband helped with the paper tiger. I love the visual of you and the happy dogs cavorting in the evening.

Today I listened to the podcast about feeling vibrational frequencies again and the impact they have on our reality. It was pleasant for me to see that I am moving in the right direction. Progress!
Cathy: Your lunch sounded so tasty. Your affirmation made me think about the concept of Babysteps in setting goals and goal attainment.

Affirmation: Feelings of contentment and caring are my goal. Mind: New thought patterns Body: Walking, Yoga Spiritual growth path: Letting it all go........... Gratitude: My expertise as a handy woman
Today I continued to work on my procrastination list and got two major items completed. The two new mirrors got replaced by the two newer mirrors (I'll skip that story). All the touch up painting got done and the cans etc put back in the basement where they belong instead of on a shelf upstairs like they were for the last three months. I am doing my happy dance about these projects!
Cathy: My contentment level with my handy woman chores is a success. Now instead of being anxiety ridden before I start I know I can figure things out. DH had to help hanging the mirrors and I kept my happy on throughout my Fixit Day!
