I want to still notice the little
stuff too - it will always matter -
checking my e-mail after being out
to Adult Ed with Ron
walking the dog, and then taking a
phone call
getting out for more than appts.
using a new spice (Allspice replaces
Clove - a migraine trigger)
changing it up a bit when I play
with Molly to keep her engaged
hand writing things I've done on a
few days
experimenting when I play our piano
keyboard
acknowledging my anxiety, ALSO
letting myself feel positive
learning to load and unload our new
(machine) dishwasher
Giving myself permission to take
time, to not always get it exactly right, to keep trying, to know that trying
doesn't mean I'm not trying to be present in each moment - there's SO much
that's NOT mutually exclusive.
I think this is what the very
beginnings - the seedlings if you will - of self compassion feels like.
