can we just call this the Prayer and Healing thread for now?

[FirstLight]

nothing fancy, no disclaimers, just needed a place to ask for love and healing for me and the family. and I am sure there's others who need love and light too...
~~

Both kids have cycled thru a tummy bug in the past 36 hrs... meaning I have lost two nights sleep, and my house is messed up beyond recognition. Food stamps are late this month, so we are making due, good thing they aren't that hungry! ...feels like the New year has not even officially started for real yet, since they don't go back to school till tomorrow. and I wanted to be really moving AHEAD with my own stuff and trying to make some MONEY for a change...and now I am just thrashed, depressed everytime I look at the housework, and demoralized as far as doing anything progressive with creative work...

guh. can I please have a do-over now?

2. Sending light and love and healing

You already know that helping those who are ill and taking care of ourselves is way more important that a tidy house, but I do understand that it can make us feel worse when we feel like we are going backwards instead of moving forward. It's just a moment in time though, and you will move through it soon.

3. thanks both of you

I made some coffee, started another load of laundry, made a list and put checks next to the things the kids can do, plan to crank up the tunes and try to dance through it, because sitting here crying doesn't help...maybe I can nap around 4? ...and I'll just make oatmeal for dinner!

4. Sounds like an excellent plan of action!

I'm inspired by this!
I have achy joints and a messy house, music will help me get though it too!

5. Positive wishes and throwing energy your way. Sometimes it seems hard. I know.

There is small disruption in the air. For many people. Projects on hold here also. Priorities shift but only for a short while. Things will get back to normal. Maybe even better than normal!

7. good to know

that i am not the only one feeling this 'drag'....

step-by-step

13. Have heard this a lot from quite a few people. Especially the feelings of getting off track due

to unplanned events, etc.... getting behind in their projects, work, etc.....so it is in the "air".

6. Sending good thoughts and energy your way, FL!

I know it's been a hard road for you lately; may you soon receive many wonderful blessings!

8. Dear FL, sending you and your kiddies a blanket of soothing, warming energy. Asking the Universe to

provide what you need at this time so that you can focus on taking care of your children and yourself. Also, asking the Universe to give you a huge boost of creative energy and a heightened sense of self worth, knowing that you are loved. And the housework...it can wait until you're feeling better.

12. you guys all rock, you know that?

I did manage to get the kitchen mostly cleaned up and half of christmas in the box...tree not done yet, floors still need help, ...but whatever I'll run a clorox washcloth over the bathroom once more and hope that hold for a few days... the laundry, well the pile is clean, so we can just dig for what we need. had to lay down and take a nap and get rid of the sleep-deprivation headache...

I hate that I have these ideas of how organized I *want* to be...and somehow life just gets the best of me! lol

thanks for the healing energies, i think Devin's fever is gone and hope to send him to school anyway tomorrow...
