I Have Not Disappeared.
Update.
Working very hard. How does 17 meetings in 6 days on top of teaching sound? lol. Plus little issue with one of mother's aides. Tired also. And - dreaming good things and feeling somewhat lonely so have been sleeping a bit much. Not horribly much... but a bit.
Anyway
Today starts TWO sessions of exercise every day for 7 days! It is also a suggestion as part of 21 Day Fix for the program, but I've not done it before. Hoping I can :)
And I have started reading Louise Hay's new book, "loving yourself to great health. LOVING it. Need it.
Might continue doing "The Magic" book maintenance. Or just this. Will see.
Exercising daily. Eating better and better.
Feeling determined.

So
I went to sign up for Pinterest,
which I've never liked because I didn't know you could put in your own interests
blah blah blah
I signed up
and guess what?
I have PASSIONS!
Interests - all mine!
And they have nothing at all to do with J or any other guy!
*I do not hate guys - I love them - but everything was always all about them!
This is new!
I am so grateful!

Wow
I just took one of those silly online quizzes but I enjoy them - it asked
You've just won the lottery. What do you do?
I didn't pick save it. I picked: go on a safari.
I don't know what I'd *really* do, and I don't even play the lottery, but it was a beautiful moment to think, I won't die of starvation - I'll never be rich but I'll manage - I would go live and see mother earth and nature!!!!!!
This is a CHANGE.
And I am happy about it.
PS
3 more turds today. Mouse has not gone. Getting have a heart trap. Will give that a try first... Mouse is not my favorite kind of mother nature ... not in my house anyway!

Exercise!
Waking up each mornign
Lying in bed
and feeling my muscles from the inside out!
Oh my gosh!
How I love this feeling!
It's like I really am aware of my own existence and my own strength. I am SO grateful for this!
And then, it builds on itself.
So for example last night I REALLY wanted some licorice. Said to self, "So you'll pick some up in the morning and have it for dessert at lunch. You don't need to have it NOW.
But then, I awaken and feel this STRENGTH and I don't WANT it!
Which makes me exercise again inthe morning.
Which leads me to having a good healthy breakfast.
When leads me to another good day... .... ...
Exercise is really changing me from the inside out.
I also:
Feel better on steps
Therefore have easier time with groceries and laundry
Find myself sitting with legs crossed just naturally after years and years!
Walk around the building at work feeling good.
Sleep better and need less!!!!!!! What? Wow!
Have moe energy most evenings
Stay more positive most of the time

Short. Simple. Profound imo
Rushed.
Still,
Short. Simple. Profound imo.
I am very grateful for more
order in my house.
And that I did it.
And – that I am not the
dependent little thing I used to be like with Ji, or later with J.
I have grown.
A lot.
I am so grateful for this
practice each am. Seeing the cloud in my coffee, and in myself. And offering
love and compassion to the world. A moment. A MOMENT. Yet transformative.
--
May I today
Offer true internal compassion
to all
And
Not sweat the small stuff
And remember – it’s all small
stuff
You too, anyone reading this.

And now... :)
So –
Little by little I will make
thse changes
Little by little I AM making
these changes
And right now I feel –
Having cleaned a lot, and
exercised, and gone to dinner with mother and her aide whom she loves,
That –
Heck
It’s just a mouse!
Hopefully I’ll get him to move
away
If I cannot, I will try have a
heart, or, the mouse will have to die. I hope not but I’m not sharing my house
with it indefinitely. It could be a pregnant she – or coud bring friends… … …!
And I want J. But if he
doesn’t want me, oh well.
And if principal continues to
not accept my proposal for the extra work (not extra ay, extra work!) this
year, so the fuck what.
I am alive and healthy and
birdies are well and I am a good person.
And this underscores the need
for me to be out and about
And to be with people I love
too
And
who appreciate me
And
who appreciate me
PS EJ - if you see this - I don’t know how to thank
you.

Update Since Something Brewing Last Post
I have been cleaning up.
And I touched my French books. Haven’t
had lesson since like July as she went away then I was too busy with beginning
of school then she had surgery then I was so down and overwhelmed. Didn’t open
then, but touched them, and it felt good. So I left her a message, my dear
teacher and new friend, and expect we can start back up first week of November.
I also became DETERMINED to call people
to help me here!
I will get basement cleaned out. Clean.
Clean for once (cellar). I will get this fucking mouse gone (hopefully not
killed but …). I will get the structural stuff fixed.
And maybe a little cosmetics too.
Thanks to beautiful EJ, I feel not as
desperate. Will just keep moving.
*Instead of sitting around IM with A
all the freakin’ time, will do for OWN self and life and fun too!
So now: 12:30 will exercise then laundry (although scared cause basement… mouse…) more cleanup
things (bird cage etc).
Then shower and dinner with mother.
Tonight read and
sleep and try to be calm.
Meditate 5 minutes
Much better.
Lesson if you’re
reading and suffering, I think is this:
-
Keep
DOING. Problems do NOT disappear because you hide from them!
Lesson if you know
and care for someone who is suffering, I think is this:
-
Tell
something true and positive about self. EJ did that for me, and I cannot tell
you how it has uplifted me.
Be gentle with
yourself.
I will try to too

First, Yesterday's Grats, then the real issue:(
1.
Thich Nhat Hanh
2.
My promise to him
for his birthday. (He turned 88 yesterday) That each morning first sip(s)
coffee I will see the cloud in my cup and in myself and offer love and
compassion to the world.
3.
Did today. Though
new, and forgot til second cup. That’s fine though
4.
The strong feeling
it gave me. POWERFUL in my hands and beyond! A beautiful practice!
5.
My deep breath
6.
My Shakeology
7.
My decision – that
it is ok to trust mySELF and follow 21 Day Fix food plan with some
modifications as I always have been, but getting better and better all the
time.
8.
My newer emotional
strength. Still a ways to go but bigger
9.
My new more
physical strength
10.
Exercise
--
Now:
Sat. J. called.
It was nice and all, gonna go out soon etc etc
But - there were other things.
I felt his tension because things about my mother and her wonderful but psushy and therefore problem causeing aide, and involving J in it....
And he said "crazy busy." I said "that's good." he said "it would be if productive, but-" So I know he is frustratted.
Poor J trying to prove self.
Do you nkow, that I would help him? I would give hours, money, .... BUT that I know it wouldn't help. entitlements lead to resentment. I have lived with his hatred. I don't want it again.
Anyway, I was shaking and crying when hung up (both times, as had to hang up and call back since was traveling). Second call I couldn't hide the crying. Oy
And I overtalked. Nervousness... Always feeling (awareness, not imagination, as is tru) he is judging me and his feelings....
It was bad feeling.
Mouse in House. Found more pellets. Was overwhelming.
Wound up overeating and going to bed.
Sunday:
Screamed at mother, and at air when off phone too.
Rejection buttons and injustice buttons were pushed.
I went running to A (online) for help.
I was HORRIFIED by my own rage. HORRIFIED! He probably was too.
Mother and I had good long talk and made up.
Then?
MORE mouse turds. Counter, drawers, cabinets! Both sides kitchen! 1 - 5 in each place but that means he gets around! I don't even know where the hell to put my dishes etc! I cannot tell you how much I scheve this. Am phobic! Need help with it. I know about kill traps. I know about have a heart traps. I don't know WHAT the hell I'll do! I am itchy all over.
Then, Sunday evening:
Yard guy (no lawn or flowers - we're talking about basic clean-up here- I had been texting because no one came since beginning of August....
FINALLY got back to me last night. He said needs cash. There IS a balance but I usually give check. I gave the cash (he is old friend of J and comes to mailbox for it).
BUT - he also promised they'd come today - and gave me some story about having had to fire two guys for lying to him... ... ...
Anyway, he'd better send them today! I ask him what time he doesn't get back.
I fear there might be drugs involved - something is weird.
I NEED stuff cleaned out there! I have fallen twice on leaves and twigs on steps, and animals now!! He promised.... Yeah, 'cause he wanted money... We'll see.
The 11th was Thich Nhat Hahn's birthday. 88. He wanted one simple promise could keep, from people, he said, like seeing the cloud in their tea and self. I gave promise that every morning first sip(s) of coffee I would see the cloud in my coffee and in myself, and offer love and compassion to the world.
I am SUCH a compassionate person. Don't even wear pearls (although I have some that I LOVE, from before) because of the OYSTERS. And yest I could scream at my elderly sick mother yesterday? And have HORRIBLE thoughts that if bitch-sister were murdered I would feel like smiling??????? Who the fuck AM I? I am HORRIFIED by this! Don't even know HOW to work on it! Just do my jobs around here (which I DREAD) and pray and do spiritual things and exercise even more and look online for help. :(
I am thrilled about exercise. To awaken and FEEL my muscles from within,
to be stronger on steps etc,
to be gaining in confidence,
to be getting emotional stuff "to the mat"
to be losing inches, and slowly, weight (22 lbs since end June)
and making better food choices due in part to desire but also in part to body awareness,...
But I DREAD doing the fucking house stuff.
And now - the big decision.
I will clean up here today. I do not know if I can get self to do kitchen or must put traps and stop using it for few days. I scheve it so much!
Then must decide: Do I beg J to come and get kitchen mouse turds cleaned for me and get rid of mouse?
And would he?
And should I anyway?
His experiences with me should NOT be doing horrible things on house - he had enough of that! They should be pleasant! Am I desperate enough to risk his bad feelings.... ?
*I* had bad feelings with the burdens he places on me Sat, and *I* WANT him! IMAGINE if I give HIM bad feelings, when *he* is ALREADY ambilvalent?
Last - A said too many phobias? "Time to get grip. Too many phobias."
I said like what?
He said:
J, flat tire, mouse, mother visits, pension, fix house, divorce..."
I felt like SHIT!
Am I SO ill?
Am I HOPELESS?
I feel really bad.
:(

Important Grats Here imo
Oct. 4
Count your blessings. Make a
list of ten blessings. Write why
you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and
feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.
I am truly blessed to have my
conscience, and my “sister” although not by blood, M
Because I was able, after
weeks of worry (silly me) to come to the right decision about a moral dilemma,
this morning. Breath is deeper than in weeks, and – just played 3 pieces of
Chopin in a row, and well. Have NEVER played these 3 pieces well straight
through before in my LIFE.
Thank you thank you thank you!
· I am so happy and grateful for M telling me AGAIN this
morning – that I am “doing so well. In every area. And glowing like never
before.”
· Because it is true! I am losing weight and inches, and
skin is glowing from within. I am so much more positive!
· I credit:
· J. leaving, which TORTURED me (and still kind of does)
but forced me to either collapse 100% or find myself. I have chosen, after all,
the latter.
· Eating well. Thank you with my heart, 21 Day Fix! (I am
not perfect but WHAT a difference!) And all the pre-steps I took: Weight
Watchers, OA, studying nutrition books, … … …
· EXERCISE! Omg I cannot beLIEVE the difference exercise
is making in my life! Thank you again, 21 Day Fix! Thank you thank you thank
you thank you
· Piano. Oh my gosh. When I am practicing (which is like
95% of my time at the piano), I am totally in. Not in my own head about any
stuff at all. It is SO good for me!
· Needlework (especially crewel work and stamped cross
stitch and needlepoint too a bit) all the years
· Reading so many personal growth (self-help…) books over
the years
· Spending day after day after day doing the readings in
the daily meditation books, and typing them here,…
· GRATITUDES!
· Putting so MUCH into my work for those children!
· My dear birdies I love them so! They bring life to my
house
· NOT giving up
· YOU. Especially EJ!
· The book The Magic. Which I believe I read and followed
in April, and still do the after-things almost every day. Wow. That REALLY
bumped things up!
Changing things up as in:
1.
Telling J how I
really felt late winter/ early spring.
2.
April bought
Nutribullet. Starting putting greens in it every day. Any kind: spinach, green
chard, arugula, romaine, Zen Blend, Spring Mix, … Adding a fruit for sweet and
flavor sometimes. That started changing my health and mood.
3.
June 21 (looked it
up) started exercising. Am not perfect. Have skipped at times… But what a
difference it has made! Have been getter stronger and stronger! It has helped
my: strength, energy, mood, and confidence! AND I’m losing inches! – Starting
the exercise for a week before school got out also proved to me as I’d planned,
that it IS doable during the school year – so I didn’t go back in Sept and
think, “Well that was summer, I can’t do it now.”
4.
Beginning of July
starting doing 21 Day Fix eating plan (real foods, nothing special or funky to buy, can be
omnivore or vegetarian or vegan…just kind of portion control)
5.
Switching coaches.
Which was difficult for me.
6.
Kept my big goal
in mind all summer: Eat well, exercise, and DON’T FALL INTO A DEPRESSION. Even
if that meant not do things to improve house etc. And it workec! I had the 5
days at Lincoln Center, and the one day of paid work, and just kept self from
depression. After last summer, the summer from depressive hell, this was
HUGE!!!!! Planned in advance; kept goal in mind; did what I had to every day
(laundry/ garbage out/ foods/ exercise/ shower/ birds. Didn’t allow self to
stress over all that “should” be done…. Avoiding depression was KEY!
7.
Cooking on Sundays
– but NOT crazily! So it is cooking 1 – 2 things, but like hour and a half in
kitchen total – not insane. Then have things for the week, ‘cause I KNOW that
when come home from work I will be likely to make bad choices otherwise.
8.
Being more OPEN.
Open to life. This is my LIFE. I must
try to enjoy THIS day. Keep the big perspective in mind. Breathe. On minute at
a time. This second is all that really exists.
9.
Mindfulness
meditation with the kids
10.
And a whole year
of exra with it now, working with one of Thich Nhat Hanh’s monks! Yay.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for NOT
having become a coach (21 Day Fix).
Because although there is NOTHING wrong with getting
discounts or making a few dollars to help others on this journey, I LOVE that I
can share openly and wholeheartedly and no one EVER has to wonder “Is she
pushing this because it benefits her financially?” NO! I just want people to
know that this is 100% pure and I will help them for free. THAT is how much I
believe in this!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for maybe being able to help anyone here.
Because
I am so happy to if I can
Thank
you thank you thank you!
I am truly blessed to have
good books
Because they are so enriching
to my life!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful
for good movies, including 2 I just
borrowed from my MOTHER.
Because .
I am truly grateful that my
mother FINALLY HAS a working dvd player!
Because she enjoys! Yay!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for my Nook
Because I love the reading in
bed at night. And I don’t have to use a book light, or hold up a book or turn
pages, or put on a big light and have to get up and turn it offJ
(I don’t read many pages at
ALL at night, so I do not wind up spending a lot on books!)
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for ENOUGH money
Because I am not rich by any
means, but I don’t have to WORRY like where will my next meal come from! That
is VERY fortunate!
And although I pay in a pretty
good amount, I do HAVE health insurance. That is a relief too!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for hope.
Because it keeps me going!
And like they say, there is
always hope. “Where there is life, ther is hope.”
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am deeply grateful for Life.
It is in and of itself a miracle and I am so happy to have one.
I can enjoy it! I CAN!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so very much, Thich
Nhat Hanh, and Universe for bringing him here.
Because he has words that
remind me of the miracle of life. And walking on the earth. And breath.
Oh, thank you thank you thank
you!
I am fortunate, and truly
grateful for Leisure time.
Because many people in this
world do not have, had not had it. I am lucky.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am profoundly grateful for:
Any and all positivity!
Because I remember when I had
literally none!
Thank you thank you tank you!
Thank you, Universe, for my My
Hay House day.
Because I learned so much, and
still use every day! And even have some notes from it! AND – have helped some
others with it!
Oh, thank you thank you thank
you!
And that I was there with my
principal and hubby too.
Because that made it not
lonely, and actually enjoyable!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am grateful that I went on a
cruise at age 16 with my parents.
Because of many reasons. Maybe
I’ll do a list of gratitudes about it another day. But for one thing, I was on
a cruise! : )
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you!
2. Remember The magic by
counting the blessings of yesterday and writing them down. Ask yourself the
question: What are the good things that
happened yesterday? Scan the surface of yesterday until you feel satisfied
that you’ve remembered and written down all the blessings of the day.
1.
Great to kids all
morning! Cheerful and hard working and wonderful teacher!
2.
Gave them good
afternoon too.
3.
Turned things
around in morning! Had had like 3 nights of nightmares
! Awakened feeling, "I've had enough of this!" So - I had one black
coffee with cinnamon (instead of two) and a vegan chocoloate Shakeology with
cup of raw organic arugula, cup of raw organic spinach, and 1 small organic
banana. And ActiVit vitamin. Then exercised. Total body cardio fix. Turned it
around! Oh yeah. If had given in to it, would have only felt worse (and behaved
worse too).
4.
Didn’t have one bite
over yesterday (although as usual really wanted to at night). And felt SO clean
this morning waking that way! It is also motivational for today!
5.
Last minute idea –
since was going to order Chinese food (a rare treat) for lunch and take the
other half home for dinner, asked M to go to lunch together
6.
And we did!
7.
And we have a great
time!
8.
Stayed 2 hours after
work and got so much done!
9.
Getting along so
well with both grade-level colleagues.
10.
L stayed as late
also on a Fri, so I was not alone in the area or the building! So that worked
out well
11.
I was dreading
coming home “to the dark house and so lonely.” So much so that I ALMOST asked a
really bad match for me woman to go out to dinner! I had been a very good
friend to her and it had turned out she was not one to me, and I dumped her
like 7 years ago! We get along fine professionally (because we are both
professionals) but to have come so close to almost asking HER to go out, was
like frightening! But – when I got home, I was NOT depressed! Yay!
Thank you thank you thank you!
