Gratitude
Things I’m grateful for today:
- - Awareness: Today, I was listening to my Dad reluctantly agree to try using essential oils to heal his elbow pain rather than go to the doctor when I suddenly had a zing of awareness and realized: “He’s not lined up with taking oils if he’s so reluctant to agree to try them.” This awareness led me to suggest that he mentally line up with the oils by remembering concrete examples of every time essential oils have been helpful to him in the past. Recall the details of how he felt better right after using them. Recall also the times when he’s seen others around him use the oils and feel better noticably, visibly to him. By recalling such things he’ll help line up with the oils’ ability to heal his elbow too. I felt such appreciation for the awareness that allowed me to recognise this! A little after this, I came across this humorous quote that felt a little like this moment of awareness: “Women know. They just know. Even if they didn’t know, they would know. Men might not get this, but women will, because they know.” hehe
- - Realizations: I had a realisation today: Ok, some context before I get to the point: I often get upset when I feel that my dad is in a rush to do something whenever I see him; and that he doesn’t pause in his path and continues walking full speed, even if I try to say hi.. his return brief “Hi….” – usually fades as he disappears round the corner to do something else. Today I realised that maybe this is because I’m giving out that vibration myself of being rushed and not wanting to stop to talk to him; and then he’s reflecting that back to me. If I’m honest with myself, there definitely is a part of me that feels like that. I guess the reason it feels bad when I observe him doing it is because not-giving-each-other-quality-time is not in line with what my true self really wants. It would be nice if we felt like we were comfortable around each other and had a fun / interesting stuff to tell one another, and share it easily, with fun, love, joy and comfort. Anyway, it was just a realisation that felt like an aha moment. : ) And a couple hours after this aha moment, my dad very uncharacteristically came to my room to tell me something (that apparently my aunt wants to set me up with a guy she knows), looked lovingly at me and gave me a kiss… I wonder if this is connected to my realisation!
- - Ima’s Fish Pie – mmmmmm!
- - Ear-on-his-chest hugs
- - Great lyrics in songs. Today’s favorite is from the song “Go the Distance” from the Disney movie Hercules. I really liked this motivational bit:
I’ll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know every mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I’ll be right where I belong - - Having a Dad who looks out for my best interest and helps me out SO MUCH with finding the best way to manage and handle what to do with my income in the most sensible way.
- - How time is a healer of all things – and enabled me to feel ok (even happy for him) about it when I find out that an old love has moved on to a new chapter of life and had a baby.
- - I’m grateful I don’t have the lifetime responsibility and commitment of a husband and a baby myself right now!! To put it more positively, I appreciate so much my freedom!
- - I appreciate having the time and willpower to have so far done 9 diary days on here!
