Being Gentle and Assertive at the Same Time 1/28/14
The past few days, I've been relentless, posting gratitudes, despite demands insisting I do otherwise. Being positive can be developed, I'm living proof of that. Right now, I'm using toothpicks to keep my eyes open. Not really, but it feels that way, bone weary, I am.
Today was different than most. I worked a split shift. Time with one client took two hours. So, what was good about today? How about this:
Gentleness Towards Self
1. I bought gloves and lost them within an hour. I need them when I cycle early in the morning and late at night. What's good about that? Plenty. I was gentle towards myself. Life happens. What I do or don't do is no indication of my worth.
Assertiveness, Using Boundaries
2. I lunched with a prospective client. A client referred me his brother to see me. He was with us, as I visited with his younger brother. His sibling tried dominating the conversation. I simply told him he had talked at length and I now I needed to speak. If I hadn't I'd be sitting in that booth, sleeping at this moment, as he droned on.
3. My life is moving forward. I am happy with how this year is working out. The best year in my life has been, and will be, 2014.
4. Yesterday was my most successful day, ever. I thank God for his guidance and support, as I serve others.
How About You?
What three circumstances has created joy in your life?
I'm going to bed. I'm tired. I'll revise this post tomorrow.

Letting Go, Revisited 1/09/14
According to the sidebar, something written two years ago has surged in popularity. It has spiked its way to first place, among posts viewed this week. I'm sharing it again, for those who may not have read it.

o let go doesn’t mean to stop caring:
it means I can’t do it for someone else.
it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off:
it is the realization that I can’t control another.

Inhaling the Perfume of Life, Not Being An Insincere Chameleon 1/4/14
Hello. How are you? Was your Saturday sensational? Mine was. I cycled seventeen miles (27.35 km) with a cantankerous but dear friend that I love+.
As I often do at the end of the week, I'm asking if we could share our high and low points for the week that just concluded.
My High Points:
1. I was loved by many this week. It is infinitely rewarding knowing

Avoiding the White Noise of the Day 1/2/14
The last couple of days, I regrouped, catching my equilibrium. I'm adjusting to a new home and rhythm, after a vigorous two days of packing and toting possessions and redistributing them in a new place. I'm tired, but still have a large portion of the peace and joy that allows me to be the keeper of this inn of gratitude.
