Wheel Work, Week 8

Health: I have gotten my teeth dealt with. Liquid diet for most of the week, but only a few twinges since Saturday. It was not easy, but the benefits cover many more areas than just my mouth. Next: meds/pain control/surgery. 3/5

Communication: I have done well these past weeks about communicating with my boss and family and roomies. Not perfect, but definitely better than before. 4/5 

Balance: I am managing, for the most part, to keep the right things in perspective. I feel like I perhaps do too much work and not enough enjoyment of what I work for, so I am trying to adjust that moving forward. 3/5

Resources: Broke for the first time in what feels like a long time, and while I have the energy and most of the time to do what I need to, the funds shortfall can be harder to deal with. People owe me for lessons taught and I have to be firmer about being paid upfront. I am worth being paid for what I allow and enable in others. 2/5

Creativity: The February Fibbles have been harder to keep up than I would have thought, but it has helped me feel more in touch with ,my creative side and my creative drives. The organisational aspects have been taking priority, but I feel the relief of being able to make and do as I am inspired much more strongly. 5/5

Environment: I have spent most of my time and energy this week on house work and maintenance, and it has paid off massive dividends. I am growing to really enjoy this house. 4/5

Contribution:I have done a lot of work in most areas of my life this week, and feel connected and mostly in control. It is a really good feeling and one I absolutely desire to maintain. 4/5

Legacy: A couple of key conversations have made me feel like I am having a good effect on my world, and I feel like I am getting through to people about the important things. There is more work to do, but I feel very good about the direction things are taking. 4/5

Overview: 29/40

Happiness : Puppies, Part 1 1/4/2018

(I do sometimes feel like nothing I write is meant to be "short, sweet and to the point. I am aware that this is a style all its own, but that it will not be to everyone's tastes.) I started my day off before 6 am, waking in the dark to the faint sounds of roommates heading out for their very early call. I was warm and safe and didn't hurt much, and my younger dog was snuggled in against the back of my leg between my knee and my hip. Let me tell you about my dogs, as they are a key ingredient in my current state of mind. Woodgie came to me in July of 2013. I met him when he was two weeks old and fell hard in love. The lovely lady who whelped him, along with 8 littermates of his unintentional litter (and another 8 purebred Rhodesian Ridgebacks on the same day) had hoped I would take to one of the purebred puppies as she was always on the lookout for custodial show homes for her very lovely dogs, so she was ladling my arms full of this puppy and that puppy. "This is...

WELCOME

I AM SURE that every New Year sees a plethora of new blogs that last maybe a few days or weeks before sputtering out, like the flame of inspiration does on so many candles at each opening phase change. This one may prove just like all the others... except it is a goal for me to train myself to finish the things I start. Retrain those neural pathways that allow me to quit before I've well done. This is hard work, and the real key is, I need to start anew, in order to prove that I can maintain a course. So for an outline: I am aiming to write regularly, document my challenges and issues and how I am dealing with them, be it by chipping away at them, knocking them down, or taking a break and just not looking at them. The purpose of the writing is to establish healthier writing habits, to track efforts and results so I can target the incentives for success, and to help hold myself accountable for whatever effects I may achieve. This journal is meant to give me a space of emotional ...

Wheel Work, Week 4

 Jan 22-28, 2018 Health : I have been getting almost enough sleep, and have managed my various challenges well. My teeth are healing well, and I have to eat slower to chew things more carefully and I feel that will soon have an effect on weight, because I am doing what you are supposed to do and taking my time to eat. I also cannot eat hard crunchy or sticky chewy foods kind of at all any more, and that's good because pretty much none of them add any nutritive value to my diet. I have not gotten as much movement and exercise as I would like, so this is an area I will concentrate on in the near future, to build up my stamina and feel like I am making forward progress on my fitness and health. 3/5 Communication:  I feel like I dropped a couple of balls this week, but that I followed up on others, that were not easy ones to catch. I did communicate to my boss that I would not be able to work one of the days, and that was good, but I also failed to confirm pick up times u...
