What I Did Today
It was a great day. I had to prompt what I needed since last night to Li. I wanted to sit at my favourite place. It was an easy entry to the place. While the two ladies played in the park, I headed over to my spot of calm. I planned ahead and bought two portions of food for the birds as well.
Sat there for a long time and enjoyed the ducks and swans. Fed them well and I even managed to persuade a family to not throw in bread. I wish the council would jut put a notice saying don’t feed bread to these birds. It fucks up their digestive system. Then there were the two children’s playing areas that Little-R enjoyed a lot. It was great to see Li and Little-R so happy.
What I Felt
I felt good today. Those benches are the best place for me to relax. I just wish it was a bit closer to home – but no matter. all good. Li suggested to daily walk here and take the bus back. It would be an hour’s walk and a bus ride back home. If I get my license it would be even more amazing. I really wish I get my license this time. I hope God will favour me this time.
What I’m Learning About Myself
I really love nature and the outdoors. The wind, the water, the grass, the little flowers and the birds. It was great. I also realised that I wouldn’t enjoy these as much without Li and Little-R by my side. I realised I need to share joy to feel joy. I may feel calm, but I have this need to sharing it and a desire that my loved ones feel the same calm and joy.
One Thing I’ll Do Tomorrow (micro-promise)
Tomorrow its all about moving the body again and eating mindfully. Eating mindfully I can manage – the body movement part I’m worried about. However I did a lot of walking today without consciously aiming for it. May be I can do the same tomorrow.
