Ok you might mention my comments are growing in vibrancy. This is how I am feeling now. I took work off today since I was deep in the trenches. I thought, one, there was no way I could go back to that environment, I actually felt queasy considering it, and two, no way I could expose these children to the nastiness that was purging from me. They would be safe, but I was not capable of managing so many little bodies while I tried to manage me.
So today I had a woman who has been trying to find a way for me to leave my situation reach out to me again to urge me to apply. I wouldn’t be leaving the work place entirely, with this position, but I would be completely out of the program. The only issue with that is that I have to bear 2.5 more months in this work environment. I don’t know if I can do that.
But, I applied and I applied to that other position I came across yesterday. All of the murky sensations went away after I submitted this resume.
Today was actually a really good day. The first truly good day I’ve had in at least a year. Once I got outside, I actually could focus on the beauty around me. I picked strawberries in the garden and made a strawberry smoothie and could actually enjoy the taste. I listened to that poem on repeat, what a nice thing to hear and remember.
I tried to replace my bike brakes and wasn’t afflicted with any energies — in fact right as I hit an issue trying to replace the brake pads, our newer, more stable roommate came home and gave me exactly what I needed then later came back to replace them for me. We sat and chatted for a while which was really nice.
The ice cream truck came right up to our driveway as I was attempting the brake pad and I had just enough to buy an ice cream… my bank account is just about down to pennies now but I felt enough flow to go for it anyways. I ate the ice cream in the garage and was so present that I automatically paused to enjoy the flavor.
I can’t remember the last time I had a day of flow that felt like things were happening with ease.
I am so grateful and will keep on applying all of these suggestions. I will keep the stacks on loop tonight at bedtime and I’m considering taking tomorrow off too.
