Magic I Saw this Week: This week had magical moments. Monday and Tuesday were pretty ordinary and long work days. Wednesday through Friday, I worked from home. I saw lovely magic in sunshine. In my kids shining at school, my husband shining at work. I had the magic of friend time on both Thursday and Friday, how lucky am I? Overall, I didn’t work hard enough to look for magic this week but it still was inevitable in my life.
Magic I Made this Week: I called my mom which was magical, and talked to both of my nephews. I met with two different friends on two different days. I took time off. I made art. I did yoga. I showed up and I rested, too.
Magic of Me that I explored Week: I am not doing super well here but I am trying to not give up on myself.
Top Goals Review:
- Work: did not write two more docs sadly, but did keep up with email, i did have some conversations. i didn’t get it done as much as I wanted to but i still made some progress.
- Personal: i did my daily drawing, i journaled some, and did daily yoga. and slept, but not enough.
- Family: i bought kids packing list items, we started broadcom stem registration, i prepped for LA, i am closer to figuring out summer, and to booking camps. Did writing and math with N, did not cook dinner, did work with D a bit. Spent some time with love of my life.
I celebrate: David who had his recital night at school, a big culmination. and Jake who started consulting this week and is killing it.
I am grateful for: getting to meet with my friend Kelly.
This week, I exercised: i did yoga every day, but that was it since I injured my neck and decided it was best not to do body pump.
Self-care this week: met with a friend for breakfast and a friend for lunch. worked at home. i do appear to be getting sick but i am trying to rest as much as possible. i also went to the dentist!
