<\/a>As it is, anytime I write about a situation and change the names, I get half a dozen friends asking, “You were writing about me and __ there, weren’t you?”\u00a0 This simply illustrates the fact that we are all going through the same situations and having the same issues.\u00a0 As Abraham-Hicks says, “we come forth in clusters” and together we’re learning the same lessons.<\/p>\nBesides, by the time I change name, age, gender and alter some details of the issues, it’s become too much work\u00a0to write, and burdensome to read.\u00a0 So it’s easier just to not write about it at all.<\/p>\n
So I awoke feeling well rested and well nourished, feeling good for the first time in a week, and decided to go to Unity of Melbourne, since I’d missed last week.\u00a0 I thought I’d timed it to arrive just AFTER the meet and greet, since I didn’t want to gets hands and faces with anyone.\u00a0 But of course I arrived just time time for it *smile*\u00a0 It looked like 2\/3 of the 9:00am\u00a0attendees were out; I was glad it was not crowded.\u00a0 I’d brought a bottle of apple juice with me and began to drank it, and really revived a great deal in the hour.\u00a0 Rev. Beth gave a good talk about this Christmas, don’t spend money on inconsequencial, wasteful things that aren’t wanted or needed, and won’t get used.\u00a0 That sit in a drawer for decades.\u00a0 We all have them.\u00a0 We all give them.\u00a0 We all re-gift them.\u00a0 Instead, to give to a charity, help support a friend or family you know, support who gives you spiritual nourishment.<\/p>\n
I passed a mirror on the way out and was startled to see I’d applied so much makeup I kinda had that drag queen look.\u00a0\u00a0A hazard anyway\u00a0of being almost 6 feet tall… \u00a0I don’t typically do foundation and blush, but thought this morning I could use a little artificial color until my own came back…\u00a0 Sheesh, I need better lighting if I’m going to start wearing makeup.\u00a0 Especially since\u00a0I’ve got some good chin whiskers going on hehe\u00a0\u00a0I hope I didn’t scare anyone.<\/p>\n
On the way home, I stopped first at Petsmart and then at my favorite Cali Pho Vietnamese restaurant and picked up a vegetable pho soup to take home with me.\u00a0\u00a0 I hadn’t had one in over a\u00a0week and was jonesing.\u00a0 I got it home and began disassembly.\u00a0 I knew I should hold off on eating the cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower until my tummy was back to normal after last week.\u00a0 I also knew i should probably only have about 1\/4 cup of the rice noodles.\u00a0 But I had all the scallions and all the basil and half the bean sprouts and\u00a0cilantro and none of the hot sauce, or any sauce.\u00a0 The delicate flavor of the broth was enough as it was.\u00a0 Although I did out of habit squeeze the lime wedge into it…<\/p>\n
Today was a good reminder that I should go back to eating 4-5 Pho soups a week; I had fallen into a habit the last few months of eating sandwiches, which are really kind of heavy for the work I do.\u00a0 Really a waste of fuel if I think about it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I also have a whole bank of light, clear soups I like to make.\u00a0 I need to remotivate myself to cook more!\u00a0 I’m actually a good cook, I just don’t do much of it.\u00a0 Maybe I need to get myself some new cookware.\u00a0 That might inspire me.\u00a0 And some new flatware.\u00a0 I’m still using mine from 1970.\u00a0 That might inspire me.<\/p>\n
I kind of like when my body gives me a rebooting like this; something that takes me right down but brings me right back up so I can see who I really am.\u00a0 To let me see if I am who I say I am.\u00a0 Like rebooting my computer.\u00a0 Give time for a little defragging.\u00a0 And in no time, back good as new.<\/p>\n
