Restless night


 Oh how I hate those nights to hot to sleep, I toss and turn but no matter what position I am in I  am hot and restless.   The mind continues to dredge up memories from the past repeating over and over  sequences of events long forgotten during the daytime.  Why oh why do I recall silly memories, my first job on the ledger machine at Anchor foods, I suppose this is part of entering the castle thinking about circumstances which stood in my way of following my soul's calling or circumstances I chose over following my soul's voice.  I think I worked at that job for a year then moved into the city to work for Burns Philp where another opportunity came my way to work in the travel industry which I turned down because I was married with a child and couldn't see myself being in the travel industry. Another dream of travel was forfeited as there was no way Ray would have supported me being away and him taking care of Rachel.  If only I could do this life again but I  can't so today I took time out wandered the library and asked my soul to shine through and show me what I could do now and that was to become a mentor to whom I do not know but I will put it out there and if there is some person who needs a mentor may I be the one who reaches out to help them have a better life.

Present for lunch

Image
 One of the final tasks for this week was to have lunch in a different place. Yesterday my mind jumped from one thing to another trying to decide where best to go for lunch, drive somewhere or maybe wander around my own town and find a quiet spot, I decided on the latter, to do a slow walk locally and to take a packed lunch, it was a great decision. I  found the perfect spot down by the river, private from the route of tourists and yet I was still able to observe  my surroundings.  I  love that sense of awareness that comes from being still, the texture, the scent, the colours and activities of the living world began to fill me.  I didn't need to drive anywhere all of life's greatness presented itself to me while I sat and invited beauty to unfold, no searching just observing.  I watched on as a young girl practised her dance routine, while another balanced on her skateboard, as I looked up I  saw a pair of galahs investigating a new home in an ab...

Peace and gratitude

Image
 I created this piece many years ago, I think I was living in Melbourne at the time.  I wanted a change in mood and energy after completing my treatment and this mandala popped up as I was looking for something new to display in my home.  Since having its energy in my living area I was compelled to bring in more pink to my living space and bedroom, out came the paints and stencils as well as a few  cushions and throws transforming the rooms.  I now have a tranquil setting in my living room and bedroom reflecting the inner peace I am slowly experiencing as the constant hospital visits slow down. I am eternally grateful for all of the support provided to me from family, friends, doctors and nurses now it is time for  me to take time out in my creative environment and breathe in the beauty each day brings forth.

Getting back to normal

Image
 Yeah today I managed a 3.3km walk down by the river something I haven't done since March last year.  It was so nice to get out and push through that lethargy left by the treatment.  I wasn't  sure how I would go but managed it, so pleased to feel like my life is returning to some form of normality.  Following up yesterday's writing on Geoffrey he would have been turning  70 this year I am wondering if there might be a commemoration happening for him and that is why he is on my mind, his birthday  is the 23rd of March, I will hold my own rememberance of him on that day.  Second day of the purple drug trial thinking I might do a liver cleansing juice 2 x a week to help the liver function better.
