Here we are. Thursday. Last day of January! I've been noticing it staying light, later and later. Especially when a little blue sky pops out from the clouds. Oh how I love the days getting longer!
Yesterday was a good day. Busy at work but I was in the office instead of driving to homes and was able to catch up on my weekly notes, answer a few emails, provide supervision to a young and upcoming clinician, and have staff meeting. I don't get to see my colleagues often so even though staff meetings aren't my favorite activity I do so enjoy seeing and laughing with everyone. We have such an awesome team.
Today I break the news to a young parent that is daughter is autistic. It wouldn't be so bad except I only have 6 more visits with her until her daughter is 3. That will be hard. I also get to meet a new baby and her family I am picking up. Looking forward to that. I've been picking up new families lately. I'm sure that's a part of the reason I'm so tired. It takes more focus at first. Being careful, taking my time to get to know their culture, beliefs, styles of communication. I enjoy it but it it tiring.
I had a quiet evening. Last night which was great! Butternut Squash soup, bread, and bejeweled blitz then bed a little early. Much needed. Also got some sad news yesterday. A man my husband worked with, who just retired 2 months ago died of a heart attack. Another colleague in my community had complications during a gastric bypass procedure and is in a coma. Heirs in critical condition. Apparently had a stroke during the procedure. Very sad.
Daughter had an interview yesterday at a doggy day care facility she is hopeful about. DH talked with her. I only talked with my best friend for a bit which was wonderful. Her dad recently died and I haven't had much opportunity to talk with her lately. Love that woman!
Then to make my morning even brighter my scale said 207 this morning! How great is that? Very nice. Of course I'm immediately thinking .... Just 7.something till I'm under 200! LOL! Never content!
Coffee in hand I am grateful today ...
A good night of sleep. The longer days. Closer to my weekend. Payday tomorrow. A quiet relaxing evening. Movement on the scale. Good friends, comment coworkers, and loving family. Feeling enthused.
I know I will stall and fluctuate. It is what my body does. So I shall, I am continuing to practice those things that keep me balanced; being kind to myself, practicing mindfulness, staying in the moment, and being grateful. May the sunshine or the rains come or the snow fall on each of you today ... I wish for you whatever it is you are wishing for yourselves take care friends. You are dear to my heart.

What the h***? I posted a comment a few minutes ago, it showed, and now it's gone! Not fun. Anyways.... I was just saying that you are much more than a number, but the feeling of reaching a goal is great, and I wish you to reach 200 very soon!

Love your journal, you are always so 'grateful' no matter what the heck is going on! Sounds like you had a simply lovely evening. You have a difficult day job so need evenings like that. I haven't played bejewelled in a while, I think it might be in my future but I feel so guilty when there are other things that need to be done. Mind you I don't do the 'other things' either, I just think about them :). Have an awesome day my sweetie.
