What a day of running around. I am quite enjoying the freedom to do as I want - yet strangely there is still some amount of "constraint" in time right? Have to do this and have to do that and need to meet this "deadline" or be at that place at a certain time. Still though there are still such structures and constraints/restraints - undoubtedly, it is still better than a month ago; without a doubt better than 5 months ago. So, let me be thankful for this ... enjoying what I have been privileged to be given.
Seen the doctor today for the Acid Reflux. Listened to his lecture on what I should and should not do. Apparently having taken some very good ginger powder I originally bought for my mom may have been the cause (or at least a contributing factor). It tasted great - and I really liked making drinks from that. Perhaps I took too much too soon. Just goes to show, too good of anything - even something that is good for you - may be harmful. Life's message: be BALANCED (moderation).
1 more box of Reserve went out today. Packed it, filled it with care and love, and mailed it out. Trust the recipient will receive the package by tomorrow and that the results from using the Reserve will be great.
Had a quick lunch of porridge at Texas Chicken and ran into some unexpected friends there. Familiar sight in an unexpected place. Brief moment of catching up and chatting was a good respite in the midst of running here and there and doing stuff. Lesson: stop all activities from time to time - moment to moment - and look around. You may see some familiar faces. A time for renewal and for thankfulness. Rest and Relax. That's important.
Off to meet with yet another friend. While waiting, had the time and the opportunity to walk about and do some shopping. Been a very long time since I just walked around looking without looking for anything specific. Shopping sessions are usually with a shopping list - go in, hunt down what you want, and then leave. Just walking around and looking at this and that was good. Picking up what I like and felt a connection was even better.
Followed up with the meeting - and the sharing - and the learning. Lesson reinforced in that meeting: learning to accept others for who they are and growing in the direction of observation without judgment. Oh forgot to mention, also had the lesson on "how to enjoy a pipe." :)
After that meeting was a rush to another planned event - to meet and share with a bunch of counsellors whom I had worked with previously (in what is now my "past life"). Was just a brief visit with them - to do some planning to make arrangements to share with them some of my knowledge and experience. And as I always say - don't be misled by one might sound like such a noble thing or that I am being particularly magnanimous. In sharing of oneself, there is always a "self-gain" as well. In teaching, there is also learning. And so there is no difference in this. It was a pleasure to look at these your faces and acknowledge their passion to help others, their desire to better themselves (via learning), and the potential they have in growing to be ever better in what they do and what they seek for themselves in their lives. I am happy to be associated with them.
More interesting things after that meeting with the counsellors. But given that it is now 4:33 AM, I think I shall keep that for another time. Also to let the experience of the events that followed to sink in my soul - and let the higher-self "speak" internally to further illuminate the path ahead (having learned what I learned).
Peace-Out
