7 year journal

Dear friends,
when I was a child I had little diaries with locks as presents and always tried to keep one but always thought my life wasn't interesting enough so didn't get past the first few days. I bought a children's diary at the op shop and started keeping it a year ago. now I have gotten onto my second year and have 5 more to go in it. it is such fun writing a little daily entry at bedtime and reading last year. can't wait to have 7 years of it and see all the changes. Did you ever keep a diary as a child? Have you ever kept a two year diary or a little diary with more than one year for each day?

Affirmations

Dear friends,
affirmations are very popular. I can't stand doing them. I don't like the repetition. do you like affirmations or not? Why or why not? do you find they work for you?

Changes in friendships

Dear friends,
It is a major time for changes in my friendships. some are getting closer while others are moving farther away. I used to think friendships stayed the same when i was younger whereas now I am older I see how they ebb and flow. do you notice changes in your friendships?

Spiritual name

Dear friends,
the other day a dear online friend of mine told me about spiritual names. Here is an article about it...http://www.3ho.org/spiritual-names/
I realised straight away that my spiritual name is JOY. I have been living with JOY for over 9 years now since my breakdown.
What is your spiritual name or what would you choose for a spiritual name if you chose one?

Coffee with friends

Dear friends,
I love having coffee with friends in our homes in the afternoons. I love sitting around chatting for hours about what we have been doing. usually I only have one friend at a time as I like to give them my undivided attention. Do you like seeing friends for coffee. when? How many at a time? Why?

Massages and relaxation

Dear friends,
My masseuse N. was asking me if I zone out when I am being massaged as i don't like our talking through the first half of the massage when i am on my front. I realise I have gotten into the habit of problem solving through my massage and I can do that anytime and I need to relax and focus more on the massage and relaxing. Do you talk, listen to music, zone out, during your massages?

Walking

Dear friends,
I have walked most days for over 30 years and suddenly since Christmas i have stopped my daily walks. I did a very short walk yesterday. i am so perplexed by this. I used to love clearing my mind, talking to God, doing walking meditation and now i have stopped. It seems to have something to do with my doing yoga now and clearing my mind with that. Then I wonder does it matter if I don't walk at the moment. I miss the beach. I miss the gardens. all quite strange. Any suggestions of what to do gladly welcome
