It's a provincial holiday here tomorrow so we get a nice midwinter long weekend. The sun has been shining, though it's cold, and I have been having a glorious emotional rebirth. The past couple of weeks, I have shed a lot of negativity and embraced challenge, change, and stubborn optimism. There's a whole lot to this - some of it work-related, some of it personal - but it goes back to Ghandi "We must be the change we wish to see in the world." I must be the change I want to see in me!
Step 1: Decide what I want. Make a list. Discuss, debate, really talk things through with people I trust.
Step 2: Dive in. Start making changes, doing more, being more; I don't need permission but I do appreciate support.
Step 3: Stop and smell the coffee. Or the herbal tea, or the chicken curry or whatever. Do more living in the moment, and you know what? More moments get lively.
So I've been having a FANTASTIC week, and it's culminated in this weekend which is all about spending really close personal time with my spouse. Talking, not talking, being silly, being serious... just being TOGETHER in a way that the usual Monday-Friday doesn't always leave time and energy for. It's sheer coincidence that it's Valentine's weekend, because honestly I don't buy into that Hallmark-holiday stuff. And it's good, really good.
