physically: sleepy; emotionally: happy, smitten, excited, annoyed; goal: no, i spent most of the evening with K, didn’t get a chance to; high: phone call from chris. i’m such a girl. low: no low. all around good day. morning meditation and morning pages, check. no sun salutations.
monday evening January 22, 2008
physically: sleepy; emotionally: calm, grounded, excited, worried; high: making samosas while listening to twilight; low: driving in the frigid cold; goal: yes! i resisted the urge to go straight home because of the horrid weather and did get my oil changed. and for good measure i even made it to the grocery store as well. and on a side note, monday is my letter day and i wrote one. i only did my morning meditation. no sun salutations or morning pages but that’s okay. it technically was a holiday and i was a bit sore from yesterday so i told myself it was okay to take a break. but tomorrow we’re back on schedule. . .
checking back January 8, 2008
physically: sore in my lower back, tired; emotionally: calm, buoyant, hopeful, peaceful, energetic, happy, content; high: making dinner while listening to harry potter; low: no low; goal: completed; thankful: my friends, talking to danielle, my yoga practice and the aliveness it brings me, seeing foi and l-squared every day, being productive this evening, getting home after 8 hours of work and still having plenty of energy to spare, kitty-kitty time. meditation, sun salutations, morning pages all a check for today. and i scratched off all the things for my evening to-do list. and guess what? that included making dinner. one of this week’s chosen recipes. and it was fun. hope it tastes good. . .
sad, but not too sad December 20, 2007
physically: hungry, neck sore, eyes hurt, emotionally: sad, empty, drained, solid, centered, high: lunch with foi, low: continually almost falling asleep at work, goal: didn’t make one, thankful for: small joyous moments, free lunch, opah pita bread, seeing sunset across downtown again, not getting lost while trying a new route to work, being perfectly on time to second job, feeling strong and grounded all day, not falling completely apart when joe texted me, only just a little apart, writing a letter and putting it under his door and how much it made me feel better to realize certain truths, that i give my everything to my relationships even though i momentarily regret it later, that i can be strong and vulnerable simultaneously, that i can still kick open the double doors like a badass (because i like to pretend i’m buffy), that i can even think of a long list of gratefuls.
another day December 19, 2007
physically: warm, emotionally: sad, numb, high: no high, low: being too tired, goal: yes, thankful for: friends, small measure of peace, sense of my own inner strength, eating healthy, generous friends, carpooling, new job, small moment of warmth after work, beautiful sunset against downtown skyline.
tonight December 18, 2007
