Moving, Shaking & Lettting Go

I’ve just come back from a walk. I’ve been faithful to it all week so far. Granted it’s only been four days so far but, hey, I’m heading the right way. I am so out of shape after spending a year on my butt traveling to and from school, sitting in class and sitting at the computer. It’s time I do some moving and shaking.

The books I’m waiting for have not yet arrived. Yesterday I was in a total panic and feeling quite perturbed about it all but this morning I’ve taken a different stance. I’m letting go of my need for them and of my expectation of their arrival. I’ll just have to move on and work with what I’ve got. I’ll tackle getting a refund on the credit card bill later, for now I need to get on with my task.

I am leaving home early this morning to make my way to Lake Country Lodge where Mom is and then to Kelowna. We are moving Mom again today but this time it’s only to a different room. She is getting the private room we’ve been wanting for her since the beginning. Now we will be able to bring her some of her own things and make it look more like her own little nest.

Then I am heading to Kelowna for my first “in person” client outside of the school setting. I’m looking forward to it and hopefully it will be the start of many more clients to come. I’ve rented an office on an hourly basis for now which works quite well for my needs. I’ve been looking for an office space here in Armstrong and I will be checking one out tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I’ll get set up somewhere yet.

Hey annette, i found a way to still hear your "check ins". Will listen daily. Im happy for your mom to be getting her own room. Soo much nicer. I know what you mean about sitting on your ass all year. I guess Ill start walking and shaking in June.lol. Laura

I am sure it feels great to be back outdoors again. Spring is springing and so are you!
I remember, when we visited, you seemed to enjoy being outside so much. With all that amazing beauty around you, there was no need to explain why.
I hope your mom will settle in and feel more comfortable in her own room with her own things around her. We all have a need for those few reminders nearby. Joyce had one of the bears I sent her in her room for company.
The best of luck with your first client. Also good luck setting up your own office.

Love,
Barbara

I'm so glad your mom is moving into a room of her own...am sure she'll enjoy having a few more of her own things around her.
Hope your first 'in person' client session went well. How exciting for you to be putting all your skills and education to work!!
