Positives

I was dismissed from my job on Tuesday, considered incapable of fulfilling the terms of my contract due to prolonged ill health and absences. I expected to be devastated when this (almost inevitable) turn of events came to be. I don't feel that way though.

I'm being positive, starting my new life with great anticipation of good things.I get to discover now who I have become whilst I;ve not been looking.


Yesterday I had a chat with one of my idols, CCW, a crystal healer and dealer. She agrees with my assessment, that something positive lies ahead for me. Her husband, CW, observed how much I have changed and how far I have come since they first knew me, that I am bolder and stronger and more confident. Despite my current illness, their assessments of me and my current situation feel absolutely correct.

I am experiencing, despite my financial worries / total lack of income,a lightness and optimism of spirit that has been missing from me for an uncountable number of years. I am reminded again of the 13th Tartot card, Death. Change can be needed and can be for the best, and that's how al this feels right now.

Today I walked in wind and sunshine, eschewing using either bus or taxi. I also decided not to shop. Yes, there was a financial element to these decisions, but it was also a choice to slow down and enjoy the moment.

I ate my lunch, trying to be mindful about it. I realised that egg and mushrooms work well together, as do eggs and cheese, but that eggs, cheese and mushrooms combined in one omlette need separating out again in order to be palatable to me.

Then I walked home, via an unusual route, listening to the birds, sensing the road under my feet, feeling the wind pleasantly chill on me, the sun gently warming me when I was able not to be in shadows. I discovered that I prefer to walk on paving stones to walking on tarmac. I never realised this before.

I achieved huge amounts today -- dealing with various agencies and being assertive and definite about my circumstances and my needs. All in all, a very good day.
