I'm ready for fall. I am not a summer heat person. Give me the cool weather where I can comfortably wear a sweatshirt and long pants on a long hike. Let all the bugs and creepy crawlies go back into hibernation, especially the mosquitos and the rather large spider in my breezeway. I want the leaves to fall off the trees so I can see a long way into the forest. I want to go camping in the cool weather with a nice fire. Love and Light.

I want fall to get here fast and last a long time. Fall is my favorite. Summer is my least favorite. Most of my friends who love the summertime do not understand my seasonal depression. Most people don't. The majority of this culture understands those who get depressed in wintertime, that's what they think seasonal depression is. Myself, it is the summer and the heat and the brightness. I revel in thunderstormy days and retreat into my air conditioned cave when that yellow ball of fire is scorching everything outside. I'm ready for fall. Love and Light

Notice the theme of this list? Most of the list are the very basic necessities for me to survive. I had a hard time coming up with anything else to be grateful for. Also, if you have been reading my other posts, every single one of my previous posts started with number one being "My Adorable Dog". Well, that adorable dog died in April of 2015. I could say that that is why there was a big gap and I did not do this list for so long, that would be a lie. I got out of the habit of this list being daily a long time ago, before my dog passed. I wouldn't say I was in a full-blown depression, but I was headed that way. Now? I don't know, I probably am in a full-blown depression. This list is one tool to pull myself out. We'll see. Love and Light.

I was thinking the other day about halos, and auras. In old paintings and mosaics, the halo is depicted as a disc vertically behind the head, shining out, like light. When did the halo become a golden ring floating horizontally above the head? It never looked right to me, even as a kid in cartoons. I would ask what it was in the cartoon and my grandmother would tell me its a halo, and show me and old picture where it was the vertical disk. The two were not the same and I puzzled in silence. Now I believe that halo is really aura, that when one shines their Light given to them by Spirit, people can see that shining aura around them, maybe back then it's a different word for aura. The floating golden right above the head seems more materialistic than Spiritual. Love and Light.

I am ready for fall. There are some weird bugs that come out toward the end of summer here in Georgia. And after 20 years in South Florida, I am ready for fall to arrive. I did not want to go through summer again. And I realize that I had been allowing the weather to affect me. The familiar depression I was feeling in Florida has come up in me, not wanting to go outside in the sweltering heat, dreading the hot car (so I just won't go to the grocery store or the bank), not wanting to take the dog for long walks. My dog and I have not been on a hike since Memorial Day and I haven't even taken him for a long walk around the neighborhood. Not only is it hot and sticky, I also seem to walk through fine spider webs wherever I go. . . . . so, this does not sound like being grateful at all. This sounds like a whiney rant. And it is NOT the weather causing this. It is my own decision to not see the gorgeous blue sky, to enjoy the beautiful cool breeze this morning and last night, to enjoy the thunderstorms and rain. I am always my choice. Love and Light.

There is a part of me that sabotages my own wants and needs. I used to fight against this part. Try to get take care of my wants and needs faster than that "other me" could sabotage them. I tried to ignore and deny that that "other me" existed. Neither of these tactics worked and the end result (regardless if everything was neat and tidy in my life or if my life was in shambles), the end result was me being depressed, hating myself and beating myself up. I have learned that this is not an "other me" it is not a part that is "outside of myself" no matter how much I try to put that part there. This is a part within me. A part that decided a long time ago that my own needs and wants were not important. A part that behaved in a way to make sure that my needs and wants were not fulfilled. A part that knew at the time in my life as a small child making that decision, it was the best way for me to survive. Now, as an adult, that decision no longer serves me and that part of me is now sabotaging my health and wellbeing. I now have much compassion and love for that part within myself. I, as an adult, am now able to care about and make important my want and needs for that part of me that is unable to do so. I am now able to love unconditionally for that part of me that is unable to love. I flow my love to and through that sabotaging part, showing that part of me, showing within me and teaching myself what unconditional love is. Teaching myself what making my needs and wants important feels like. Love and Light.

I had difficulty coming up with 10 this morning. And I'm in a very good mood which is strange. Usually my difficulty comes from being in a dark place, and not so today. I slept really well. Woke up happy and content to start the day. I am fitting in well at my new job. Today, things change around for me at work. I had been covering for an admin on vacation, and now she is back and will take back all the responsibilities I had been doing, so I will be learning new stuff this week. Love and Light.

Yes, I made up that word (although, I have a sneaky suspicion that I've heard my Mom say it). Basically, I have lots I want to get done. Somethings I need to get done. I'm trying to get back to a routine and a schedule so that all my needs are taken care of. So, knowing and deciding what to work on next, and then feeling tired from a full day of work. All I can say is that I'm alive. I'm here. What I choose to do next is what will happen. Love and Light.

Not just what he wanted to get done, but that culture of respect and integrity and caring. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, it matters who the people I'm working with are and the values that they have. Love and Light.
