be good to myself in mind, body and spirit

last night… Beautiful singer… It was a lovely acoustic concert, really lovely. There was cello and double bass accompanying her voice and guitar playing… Just wonderful…

planning to book a Shiatsu massage soon… It’s time to put my birthday voucher to good use :)

Here is my wish for you and every other child, woman, and man on the face of the earth: Spend one week saying only kind, caring things to yourself. Say thank you at least ten times an hour, direct five toward yourself and five to the world at large. Compliment yourself (and others) each time an effort is made. Notice all the wonderful qualities and characteristics about yourself and those around you. One week. You will never go back. And your whole life will be a glorious meditation. Cheri Huber

in fact I dislike shopping intensely. However, today I went shopping to buy myself, yes me some new clothes. Tops, skirts and underwear, both practical and not were on my wanted list ;)... My fave buy was a very unpractical coat, most unlike me, a knee-length black velvety number, it’s so nice. I came out of the shop and put it on straight away. It won’t really keep me very warm but to be honest I don’t care, I love it. :)

The Easter holidays in North Yorkshire are earlier than most regions. I’m hoping to have a relaxing break and do the things that will be good for my mind, body and spirit…

It totally lifts my spirits when I am low… Today I was in a poor space but when I reluctantly went for a walk in the woods, by the river, and in the snow, I felt my spirits lighten and lift. Sometimes I find it hard to do the things that I know might help me, but I believe I am getting better… :)

only had one cup of coffee in the last 3 weeks… Being a big coffee fan this is a big step forward for me and I have to say that it hasn’t been difficult at all… :)

that I am being better to myself in all these things… Still a long way to go but it’s a start…

feels crucial to my existence; in terms of making it a better one that is…
