Awww, love and thanks to the PiK for the sweet 13 she wrote. That touched my wee heart. I may even reciprocate in kind because I’m cool like that! She and I managed to talk each other back into sanity on Friday morning but it was tough, I tell ya. His Royal Bombasticness was rocking the house with his … um, bombasticity. (more on this later)
Each night this week I had prior committments that I made, not having a clue what an impact assuming the ops manager position would have on my psychic energy. In other words, I was exhausted. Yet, I had stuff to do each night (except Thursday) and dreaded it. But each time I got home from whatever I was doing, I felt better. Strange phenomena, that. It took my brain which is constantly set on “ruminate” and turned it off for a bit and allowed me to focus on something other than fretting about work. Today I had day 1 of my Reiki Level 2 class and really enjoyed it. Despite my initial GRRR-ness about having to give up 16 hours of my weekend for it, I am glad I went. It put my head in a nice space. And I learned quite a bit about the symbology that goes with that level (I only really glossed over it last year) and a few things I didn’t know.
As always, I see all this as a lesson – don’t get all spazzy and caught up in your goofy work stuff because there’s lots of other fun stuff to do even if you don’t feel like it. And, the bonus is that you just might feel good after you drag your butt there.
Lessons everywhere, I know. :)
Should I start my birfday celebrations early? My grandpa always celebrated his for a week and I’m thinking that’s a great tradition to uphold. Duty will tell you that I do that already.
(This was a boring ass entry, I know. Just wanted you all to know I’m still alive!)
A week long celebration? Oh heck yes! In fact, you have inspired me to do exactly the same on my next birthday! Keep your chin up!
Why the heck not? If you like birthdays that much I say go for it.
Celebrating for a week, sounds like fun to me. But I betcha are looking forward to the weekend, eh? Happy, b-day early…… By the by, check out my site(s), I am trying something new in an effort to find my voice if you will. Let me know what you think. Party Balloons atcha!
Thanks for that reminder Lisa! I do feel like my job is my path (im in mental health) but I lose track of whats important pretty quickly and often get all growly about things that are awesome for my soul once i get there. Back in the day, I used to have birth week celebrations with a birthday advent and even an orthodox birthday so i say viva la birthdays sister!
You must celebrate for a week. I celebrated for a month!
OHHHH…I love symbols and sacred geomentry! I take my class starting 10/27: LOTS of planets will be SCORPIO! It is so gonna rock!
Wow, great advice from PiK/L2L.
Why not celebrate your B-day for a week? That sounds like a great tradition.

I think something important to keep in mind is that this job is a stepping stone for you. It is not your destination. It will help you get there. Since it is not your destination it should not comsume your thoughts, the woo-woo should. Focus on where you want to go, you will get there. =)
Much love!
