Back to work

I had been psyching up to go back to work Monday over the weekend. I felt like I had a plan somewhat set up and could resume work for the week to bring in some needed income. It wasn't until Sunday night that I realized Monday was a holiday. You would think I'd be more attentive to holidays. I'm not. I did go back to work on Tuesday with a feeling of normalcy. Spring wanted to make sure I was not feeling pressured. I wanted to get some routine going again and be with people who didn't know. It felt good. It felt so good that I forgot to write anything Tuesday. So I took a moment at the end of work today to catch up.

I did a sweat lodge last night poured by a really good friend. It was a great experience. It was attended by 12 friends and family that helped make it an party. I am not saying that I believe in spirits or energies beyond my skin. But I do not disbelieve either. At face value, it was physically cleansing to sweat. It was inspiring theater to perform a ceremony. It was an opportunity to speak kind words about those I am grateful for to those I am with. I remain open to whatever else it may bring. A heartfelt connection to others is always a good thing.

You may notice that I leave a lot of names out of my blogs. Those that I speak of know how much I appreciate them. I appreciate everyone in my life and this just feels right to me.

My concerns now are to get my "stuff" together in time to leave this weekend and start the fast. I expect to take my laptop and continue to post during the fast, so I won't be going into an information black hole for a period. Stay tuned :-).
