Gratitudes for Wednesday:
1. I rested. My physical reserves have been taxed the past two weeks by all the pain endured. Halting is a great way of taking care of me.
2. Met with a new client. Terrific session. We hit it off right away. She is the recep-tionist I met at the oral surgeon's office last Friday.
3. I love serving others through the work I do.
5. I get to sleep in tomorrow. Ya ay!
6. I am exhausted. Why is that a gratitude? Because it forces me to rely upon God for strength and is getting me to bed earlier and I am staying in it longer. It also prompts me to assert my boundaries.
When someone wants more from me and I am totally depleted, I say no.
7. I will cycle tomorrow at Chabot Regional Park.
That's it for tonight. I am wiped out. I'll rewrite this sometime soon. This post is my best for tonight.
May you have a great and grateful Thursday!

Pablo,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you talked about H.A.L.T in your blog today. Taking care of myself was always the last thing on my list. Everything and everyone came first. Like you, I thought I deserved to go for long lengths of time without caring for myself or my needs. I don't do this anymore! I have been speaking up to others and letting them know when I need time for me. As a result, I am far happier and less depressed. This is also my way of setting boundaries with friends, family and co-workers. This is a huge accomplishment!
