My husband went away for 5 days to ride bikes and play miniature golf, etc. – and eat fish in Florida with his son.
I have the house to myself and I am doing as I please.
I can practice the fiddle at 3am. I can sleep strange hours. I can play podcasts and French lessons and my astrology class and music out loud all day long if I want. I don’t, because I enjoy the quiet too.
I can eat my favorite food and have meals at random times if I please. I can (and must) do some final preparation for my trip to Africa. I get on an airplane in 7 days.
[The 3 cats are mad at me even though I’m petting them, talking to them, scooping their litter, providing clean water and giving them their prescribed treats and snacks. They seem to think I’m responsible for their favorite person being gone and are keeping their distance. I’m slightly miffed, but can’t say I’m overly impacted by the cats. Petunia (my favorite) has been in the basement for 2 days, but this morning she came up and decided I could pet her, scratch her head and sit by her for a few minutes. Now she’s gone again. She is a persnickety one.]
I do have to water plants, feed birds, etc., but otherwise I am as free as a bird.
Yesterday I had a chiropractor appointment to make sure I’m in good form for my trip.
I also had a bodywork appointment with Gretchen Cosgrove, who is a blessing in my life. I credit her with returning me from a bicycle accident I had that almost killed me (handle bar to trachea) nearly 3 years ago …back to LIFE! I feel 100% myself again, which is amazing. I am extremely grateful for the deep and varied aspects of healing that she has brought to me. I highly recommend Gretchen for massage, energy work, anything she offers. She is a soul and body healer of outstanding ability and presence and love.
I will be adding a link to her website (currently under revision) to my info bar at the bottom of each page.
I asked Gretchen for overall balancing and work on my heart chakra because Sri Pune said it would benefit my connection to my son. I have been trying to “allow a frequency adjustment in my heart that will assist me to develop a new pathway of my heart” as advised. Allowing is sometimes hard for me – it’s so vague. But I do have a sense of when I’m successful. There was definitely a shift today in my heart.
Shortly after Gretchen attended to my heart, her hand hovering steadily over the chakra, I started to see waves of color. A couple minutes later I started to feel sadness, which increased and solidified. I remembered something my husband said to me a couple months ago that was impactful and unsettling. I had buried it, but now it has surfaced again and is looking for light. While he is away is a perfect time to unearth it and see what needs to be done to allow it to be put to rest.
My husband and my marriage are blessings to me, but marriage is not always easy to navigate. There are times when we feel hurt, whether or not the hurt is intended.
I am extremely grateful for this time, just for me.
