Sheesh, woke up 45 minutes early today, at 4am instead of 4:45, no reason just up so I got ready for work.
I didn’t take any photos yesterday at the ribbon cutting (or today of anything) so I’m putting in a screenshot from element’s Instagram of Anne and Jesse cutting the ribbon with the Mayor and Fredericksburg Main Street representatives. I worked at Dragonfly and Element today, then out to see my dad early since I didn’t work at the main studio.
I blasted The Killers Hot Fuss and belted out all the songs to release some anxious energy I was feeling. Today is my peaceful day but I didn’t start it out that way so I had to reframe my thoughts and needed to sing. My dad was in such a great mood, when I got there – lots of smiling – at what… I’m not sure but I won’t complain. I told him that I am reading (listening to) Autobiography of Yogi and how in the book he explained that his belief is that we have three bodies; our physical body, our astral body and our causal body and I wanted to tell him about this because sometimes when he “hears” someone else talking to him or “sees” something that I cannot – maybe he is in his astral body but his physical body is still sitting with me. It is hard to tell him that I don’t see what he sees but I try to make it sound like he is special to be able to do that. He’s never troubled by the fact that he sees and hears things that I don’t. He got his weekly back scratch, joined in on my SPCA video call for a moment and sang. Big strong hug as I was leaving!!!
Came home and took Uli through the yard and woods, first time since the snow that I’ve walked him in his favorite woods – lots of wild animal scents to smell. He was so happy when Mike got home from his day out and I told Mike that I learned today that the venerable monks have two OTHER stray dogs they adopted other than Aloka and there was a sweet video of them greeting venerable Pannakara after not seeing him since October. It was a wild scene, I could feel how happy they were and when the caption mentioned that he was scratched on his face by the greeting, I could relate, they are marks of uncontained love. Today IS my peaceful day. Bye for now.
