Day 36 - 329 Days to Go

How can it be Wednesday already? I think I have to think of a new line! My answer to everything these days seems to be "I can do it, I'm unemployed!" Pretty soon, I won't have time to be unemployed!
Had a nice visit with my mother-in-law this morning. She was up and going for a short walk when I arrived. She doesn't talk much, but she did have short conversations with me today. I wish I knew what she was thinking as she walks around this hospice. We went past one room that was been cleaned and refurnished! Does she understand this - what's happening. Except for these type of encounters, it really is a very calming, pleasant place to be in. I must remember to keep the hospices on my list of charities each year. They do a wonderful job.
The son had another soccer tryout this evening. I hadn't planned on staying to watch, but got caught up in the excitement. Although I spent half the night visiting with friends. The son was a little dejected after the try-out. He didn't feel he had played his best. He felt uncoordinated. My fingers are crossed and my positive energy is flowing his way. He has worked very hard for this. It's hard watching him not be happy with his performance. This is where parenting is put to its test. What to say? What's the right thing to do?

BODY: Got my 10,000 steps in again today. Part of this was from taking Maya for her walk. She is getting a little over protective when people are just standing around. If they are just walking by, she's fine, but if they are standing there, she must think they are going to jump us or something.

MIND: Finished tape one of Louise Hay. I am going to have to listen to her in the house with paper and pencil in hand. She has some excellent exercises for figuring out why we put ourselves down. We are to make a list of things we don't like about ourselves and things that we felt were negative in our childhood - either from parents, older siblings, teachers, coaches etc. And then see if any of these things match up. Could this be where we get some of our perceptions from! Hmmm. Will try it over the weekend and see where it comes out!

Off to bed early.
