Well this morning I woke up still feeling flat and tired.I had to go out to run some errands and when I got back was so pooped.I managed to finish the business book "Tribes".Worth a read peeps!Thanks to Dills for buying me this book.I then relaxed for a while and it was so cool to rcv a call from Dills and immediately hearing his chirpy voice over his infected chest was infectious and it made me feel better just a lil more.
I had to get out of bed again to go for my threading apt.(you cannot cancel this apt as it is SO difficult to get a slot)and then I was oh so looking forward to meeting with my "More to Life" support partner "Gill". We have not seen each other since the mastery classes so I was real excited and I had a feeling after seeing her I was going to feel even more so better and true enough mentally I feel so energised now as I type this. It was more so a special afternoon spent with her over tea as today was her husbands 1st death anniversary.I could see the pain in her eyes however she was her bubbly self and had me in stitches as she always does. This lady is an amazing person who oozes with this positive energy and has a humor of note.She is so knowledgeable as well and I always leave our meetings feeling so good after all the giggles and I feel I leave her company a wiser person.
She so sweetly had the tea tray prepared before my arrival and two tarts to accompany the tea.(almond and milk)We sat in the sunny porch area which is a cute lounge set up.Her home is surrounded by greenery and today there was this breeze flowing through the house.Her chimes were going off which hang from the window and the leaves were rustling. It was such a beautiful sound and there were these rays of sunshine pouring in.It was so MAGICAL. We had a good chinwag discussing all sorts of topics and I got to see the art she painted at summer school.Gill is into all sorts of hobbies including rubber stamping!!!I used to love that when younger.We chatted for ages and then I had to ask Gill how she is coping with the one year and she was so positive in her answer and I could see that she genuinely is at peace with the fact that he is gone. I left there feeling so happy for her and inspired as she told me that yesterday she started painting again on perspex which she has not done since her hubby's death and she did this in his shed and she said she felt he was there encouraging her and she was so thrilled and on a high once she got the brushes going.Next month I have offered to take her out to watch a movie-this came about as when we were exchanging notes about book club I mentioned to her that mum had given me the "Potato peel pie society" book and her face lit up saying it has taken her club by storm and she enjoyed it immensely despite the sadness in there as well and she mentioned that a movie might be coming out at some stage based on the book!Anyhoo so I thought hey I should offer to take Gill out to a movie and she was thrilled!!!Made me think of when I used to take Aunty Joan to the movies at Gateway-I sure miss our movie dates.I am now of course home and typing this entry and relieved to be able to sit on my couch again after it was taken over by clean washing dumped on it for a while!!!!!!My couch has forgiven me and now I am snug on it and about to read my Potato pie book!
