Saturday once more

Yes, my life is still a blur, except I do read my emails and take care of business with relief. Things are getting done and it's a weight off my shoulders. My time is used wisely to phone all the right people, write letters, and follow up. The action plan.

Being done with the goddess party and other committments clears an opening and affords me time to take care of things I've been juggling up in the air. I feel as I have space and know that's all in my head - that has always existed. My life is joyous ease, vital, and alive.

Thursday: such an early morning 7am meeting had me surfacing my energies, being present, giving and alive moment by moment. Working at finding joy and smiles when my whole body said "crash, sleep, go back to bed" and I got to give that up moment by moment. Went home early with an early night, so wonderful. Ms Davodi came by to observe the kids, welcomed and acknowledged her for being dedicated to finish her internship no matter what (new grueling and unforgiving boss). Christine observed the class again, wrote her notes, and tucked herself in the corner. Kids are such a celebration in their accomplishments - shared that with them. Talked to David about getting his butt in to school (thanked Manny for being such a great friend in pulling him out of bed). There's a meeting coming up around David.

Thursday is the celebration of my only free day of the week.

Friday: just zoomed through the last day, needed to have 1 minute no talk time to settle the kids (it seems as though this is a usual Friday routine, will consider how I can switch it and change the culture of Friday my being the toughy and let them take that discipline on for themselves). Spoke to Sarah and acknowledged her for her ability to focus with high work ethic and requested she be the model for her peers, same with Michael who is adored, worshiped as the jock and who stands to make the difference in the best possible way. Had an enrolment conversation with another single teacher and she's going to sign up with Phx singles adventure and exploration. Way cool.

Friday was intense: being the Greeter at Aunt Chiladas - happily introducing and welcoming others to the social group (yes arrived late, drove up and down Glendale looking for it, and met many friendly folk helping me) then left after 45 minutes to swing dance at the Sheraton. Lost for an hour on the highway going the opposite direction, George the bellboy was terrific in getting me there. What I got out of the evening is the generosity of people who love to step in and help with what they know, and my willingness to trust them, oh and a GPS would be soooo great. It's kinda that fight against having a cell phone, then having it and loving every moment of freedom because of it.

After swing dancing, Mike and I left to listen to Shae at O'Connors - a very passionate, moving singer. Lots of fun.

Today, Saturday is an easy, slow, catch up one. Mike and I are heading out to movies - as in a for real date night. Most our time together is wrapped around large groups, swing, meet up, so having each other to ourselves is a treat.

I receive a Peter e-zine and he reminds us that when we make our conversations about someone else, for their benefit, so they can get something for their lives, our communication flows. When it's no longer about me, and all about "them" life is a breeze, awakening, fulfilled, and vibrant. Who I am is gift and I get to give that away.
