Taxing...

Spent the day preparing my taxes to take my CPA. It didn't go as effortlessly as I had hoped ---yeah, yeah, it I had done more work in advance and not waited till I came back from Vancouver and then got sick and wasn't up to doing the stuff...yada yada
Taxing.

However, all went well. And I got home just as the rain began so I could be inside and warm. My first day with most of my voice back I sound a little hoarse so I have kept talking to a minimum. I did notice how I began to talk again--especially to Sammy--but I went right back to old habits of talking to myself. As an only child, I got used to talking to myself as I do things. I talk a lot to different things. I talk to the world around me--nature, traffic, things around the house. of course, a more lofty approach to that would be to say that in my innate omniscience, I always knew that all life has energy and we are all One, so why not talk to my car and name it? I think inanimate objects respond better when you talk to them. Although I guess you can't really call a car or a computer inanimate...

Complete ADD seque--did you know they still make Ovaltine?? I saw a commercial for it on TV tonight. My mom used to like Ovaltine and tried to get me to drink it. But you couldn't fool me--hot chocolate, Nesquick or Hershey's was always better.

Tomorrow, I go into work to get caught up a bit before I begin teaching the Foundational class. I love teaching that class because it really does change one's life. And I get to learn over and over. I am conserving energy and voice to be ready for this busy week.

This viral bout has served me well. I have been in observation of some old patterns and also got to see some things differently. There will be more insights I am sure especially as I try to use what wisdom I gleaned. I do admit some trepidation about returning to work after having been away sooooo long. I dont' want to over-do. Sammy will sure be glad for us to be back. he is certain that the chairs have gone askew and he needs to round them up again on our return.

Here's to hoping that everyone out there is feeling well or getting better. Many folks I have emailed lately had been hit by some sort of crud bug, too. It's hard to ignore that without going into race consciousness. And maybe it is not about germs being spread but about a collective period of rest and renewal done under the guise of "something's going around."

Well, till next time.

In Llight,
