Dear Colette,

I am so delighted to hear how you are doing, I have been thinking of you and holding you in my heart. I commend you for taking the time to feel the feelings associated with learning new things and making difficult changes. I know it is hard. I know that your food prep and all the other "tools" that you have will hold you. Thinking of you and your family settling into a new place brings me joy. ~smile~

: Joy dot: finding all the lovely new
: plants in my new home

: I'm taking the day off today from
: *moving*. The house we bought is a
: bit of a fixer-upper, so my focus
: has been on making this new place
: liveable.

: I'm so thankful for this program, and
: for the good habits I have
: established over the years. I'm
: eating well, and know that food
: may have been the first thing to
: go at this *busy* time, if I
: hadn't found this program. I know
: I need to eat, even when I'm not
: hungry...even when I'm tired, and
: hot, etc. I need to prepare, and
: not just *grab* stuff. I've been
: adding in planned snacks for the
: extra work and stress involved,
: and I actually am feeling pretty
: good.

: I had a meltdown the other day with
: my dh, most of it just from being
: physically tired. I was able to
: come back, think about it, talk
: about it, and move on. I didn't
: pout for days, or blame it all on
: him. I did / do feel a bit
: frustrated that I can't *do it
: all*, but there are skills I don't
: have yet, and learning to do them
: on this house isn't the right
: time.

: Anyway, just wanted to touch base
: here since I've been missing
: *being* with you all!
