Things are Looking Up
My day has been a good one…calm and happy, grounded and centered, peaceful. I’m starting to relax more now that my husband is working again and has been on the job for two weeks. I will feel better still once he receives his first paycheck and we see exactly how much money is in it once taxes and such are subtracted from the total. I am still struggling with stress eating but hope to have it under control shortly so that the scale will start going down again. I am really anxious to lose the weight I gained during these long months of unemployment and the accompanying roller coaster of rising hopes and dashed ones, fear and utter depression. I am enjoying doing Amazon Mechanical Turk HITs as I find them mentally stimulating, which is a good thing to keep my mind active as I get older. The only thing is that they take time away form my practice of praying and chanting for health and enlightenment for me and my friends, loved ones, and the people on my prayer and healing list. I haven’t been out much recently, so I am thinking it would be nice to go out for dinner tonight. If not, tomorrow or Sunday will do. I love God, God loves me. life is good, and I hope to keep breathing for a long time to come.
