cozy_casitaIt is after the 3 month mark - and I begin to merge my worlds into 1 - the spiritual and the everyday mundane. I always believed that the soothing little details also held a beautiful simplicity that can sustain a person in hard times. I am able to bring more of my new self to my marriage as well - and B and I prepare for a cozy weekend of rest after her work.
While out I did go into Walgreens trying to find any nail hardening products that are not quite cosmetic in nature, such as oils or serums. I figured this year that I’m now allowed colored makeup and nail polish, I can at least try to work on the health of my nails. I then came back to the apartment to start folding my clothes.
I do realize something, I had it in mind to pick up some chicken to cook this weekend--but then I didn’t quite get to it while out. I really need to start making lists for myself before I even step outside. Or a running list of stuff or errands that will keep me on track. Of course tomorrow is another day and I can just try it again, with my car in tow to make the run easier :-D I do want to cook that chicken but I’m also craving pizza…this is what always throws my meal planning off - LOLz!
The calm pace of my life is one of my biggest blessings. I have worked so hard to get here with the help of Oshun, the Orisha, Nkisi and the ancestors. I am coming to realize that when I vision-boarded these days not so long ago I envisioned a way of making self soothing and self care into an integral part of my life and a central part of my blessings. To recognize it and not just chase after the “next big thing”. I think I have arrived at the beginning of those moments, with myself and in my marriage.
Well--on to finish this laundry folding while watching the Leopard on Netflix. I do love a good period drama as a form of self care. Bettsy gets here very soon, and then we will do our own TV watching.
