I didn’t get to post a Sunday Thoughts blog post yesterday, I had one half-typed, but the motivation left me. So, I’m back with a Monday one today, and hopefully I’ll actually finish this one.
It’s been a great week (apart from the weather at times), but sure we are well used to the weather. Storm Bram was set to hit last Tuesday, so I cancelled Jono’s physio appointment, just in case. It didn’t amount to anything though, and in fact the day before was worse, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Luckily, I was able to reschedule the appointment for Wednesday, although that meant that I was rushing my healing session with Anna from Oxyzone Sligo. That was incredible by the way, and I’m still quite shook at the change it’s made to me. I’ve had a couple of great nights of sleep, and I’ve got as much energy as I used to get from a B12 injection, which is nothing short of amazing! You can read all about the session here. The only couple of strange things I noticed afterwards was a rash on my right arm, and palpitations the next day – although that could well have been the chocolate trifle that I had for lunch! Don’t judge me – it was going out of date, and I hate to waste food 😉 – well that’s my excuse anyway!
I took myself off exploring on Saturday. I really don’t like the Christmas madness, it’s all so commercialised and quite stressful. I was up bright and early, looking at the beautiful Christmas lights in the towns and villages that I drove through. They are all so pretty, and it’s lovely to see them. I went to Devour in Kinlough for breakfast, this is a lovely place and well worth a visit. My next stop was the Christmas Tree Festival in Bundoran, it was the perfect way for me to spend the morning.
On the way home I stopped off at the Sligo Farmers Market, because there were two very special visitors; Benji and Yeats from the Sathya Sai Sanctuary Trust for Nature. I love donkeys, they are such calming animals, and I enjoyed feeding them carrots, and chatting to them.
My final stop was to Angel and Gift World in Sligo. Marleen had invited me along to check out their gifting station and she gave me the most beautiful gift box. She said it was a thank you for everything I do to promote Sligo. I was so touched by this kind gesture, it really made my day. You can read more about that here.
When I was with Anna I was talking about this invisible wall that I feel is in front of me so many times. It feels like there’s a barrier that stops me from doing things that I want to do. I think on reflection that it’s a fear of rejection. I have plenty of confidence if I have to do something for work, but when it comes to a project that I want to work on, I have zero confidence, and I have so many ideas that I get frustrated at my lack of get up and go to put it simply. I would really love to work on that, and get over my fears.
I went to visit my mum and dad’s grave today and I put some flowers there for them. That’s another miracle, I didn’t have the easiest relationship with my parents, again I mentioned it briefly to Anna, and she spoke about forgiveness, which I thought I had done, but maybe I hadn’t.The visit to the grave was cathartic, and when I arrived there was a little robin flying from grave to grave just watching me. I felt like mum and dad were around. Maybe they were. You can’t change the past, but you can learn from it.
Anyway, that’s my catch-up for now. Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a good week.
