Personal welcome to gmail

I wrote to Pen (who I was looking forward to seeing at nvc practice)...

I am feeling a little bereft (the boys are with their dad, and will be with him until Saturday), however I also feel determined to be strong (after a long hard bout of crying last evening) and am now at my second library internet booking, having walked here. I am proud of myself for expending time and effort to save money on petrol and by not having a home line. I am hoping that a side effect may be that I become healthier. We shall see.

I feel regret that I have been a bit of a grizzly bear with the boys over recent days, still expecting them to contribute more than they feel inclined. My growling (a tame description of my behaviour) at them does not meet my need for integrity or respect. This enforced absence inclines me to change my behaviour - I hope I can feel the same when they return.

Much as I am enjoying the process of talking about myself, I am aware of limited time to process my email so I'm going to get back to it.

I hope you enjoy gmail. See you Friday.

Fourth room packed, five to go

I am feeling much relieved to have finally finished boxing up stuff from the "office". I do dread unpacking it at the other end - but then again, part of me hopes for an opportunity to sort through it all again! Is there a word for "one who loves stationery"?

Moving house

I'm thrilled that an nvc trainer I admire has agreed to be available
to guide me in my nvc development.

How do you overcome worry or anxiety? In the shower, I contemplated
the unmet needs underlying my anxiety. Financial security and safety
seem to be what my fears are about. While I have worst-case backup
plans; and have carefully prepared a budget that should keep us sound,
the options I have for returning to a looser purse are possibilities
only - and all ones that might impose limitations on our choices that
we don't want. Am I spoiled, wanting so much ease?

Packing progress: Back porch packed on schedule. Today: Laundry.

Just keeping in touch

This shall be an example of what I am going to write, just to keep in the habit of writing, when I don't have anything really WORTH writing!

My fingers and toes are cold, my missing slipper has still not turned up and I am getting through my own computer work as quickly as possible because Fish wants to play.

I feel disappointed that our family finances will not be as extensive as they should be. I am therefore inviting the universe for creative solutions to those things we desire that are more than we need: how can we each have our own computer? How can we have unlimited broadband internet access?

I'm being hurried up, so off I go to mow, and pack.
