Press Pause

What are some places or situations in which God is asking me to press pause and give myself a minute to consider how my actions might affect others?    Normally I work out every day.  I have been trying and failing to loose weight for awhile now.  The other day I put out my back (neck and arms) while washing my hair.  Yes, washing my hair.  It has stopped all work outs and a great deal of movement all together; including driving.  The pause button has been pressed.  It's a bit of a relief.  I am not too sure how it affects others, but it has affected me.  I need down time whether I think I do or not. 

Supernatural

As many of you know, Supernatural is coming to an end this season.  In homage to that fact, Lynn S Zubernis has brought together a collection of essays written by various actors, associates, and fans.  "There'll be Peace When You Are Done" is a nod to the unofficial theme song by Kansas, "Carry on my Wayward Son" and the title to the collection.  A collection of essays was written before, "Family Don't End with Blood" and this one may be a little better in some ways.  Some of the writers are Jensen Ackles and fangirl extraordinaire, Alana King.  Some essays are better than others. Most writings are farewell messages to the show, which has been on TV for 15 years and has interwoven itself into the fabric of American culture.  It deserves a farewell tour.   I would recommend this book for any Supernatural fan.  But not the so-so watcher. I received this book from netgalley.

I am too Busy

This morning I said "I love you" to myself in the mirror.  What did I feel?  Well, I immediately started critiquing myself.  So I said it fairly quickly and got out of there.  Especially since I was supposed to be boosting my sexy vibes.  A physical feature I love is probably my boobs.  They are worth a lot.  The inside feature would be intelligence.  I think I'm pretty smart. 

Alone time

What is one way I can begin cultivating solitude?  I can get up earlier or spend time in my book room.  I relish getting up early on weekends to spend time alone before anyone else gets up. 
What are the top one or two obstacles I need to overcome practice times?  Well, going to bed earlier so I get enough sleep and can still get up early.  No one goes to bed regular anymore with this covid thing so staying up late is no longer an option.  Sometimes I am just plan tired.

Give Thanks

Livelihood:
I am thankful for my job, because I can somewhat make my own hours and I can work with my children sometimes.

Body: I am thankful that I am healthy regardless of my weight.

Creativity:  I am thankful that my book room is finished and that I have somewhere to go.

Relationship:  I am thankful for my husband because he is a hard worker that provides well.

Spirituality:  I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross because as often as I screw up I would be doomed without him.
