I did not have a very good September 2018. My poor Jack fell ill, got worse, and had to be euthanised. We humans are a bit shocked by its suddenness, but our pretty girl seems the same as ever.
| Virtue | Aug | Sep | Notes |
WisdomI learn and grow every day. | 🙂 | 😐 | I feel foolish. I didn’t read much, and I didn’t do much. My only consolation is sometimes life is just like that, and this too will pass. I started preparing for Jack’s death. |
Energy: WellnessI enjoy exercising my lean, healthy 59 kg body several times a week. I walk more steps each day. | 😮 69.1 kg | 😐 ??? kg | Didn’t get much sleep, dropped out of yoga and went off my food. My jeans are loose but I have no idea what I weigh. Since Jack left us I’ve been taking the pretty girl for short walks to stop her moping but we don’t have a routine yet. |
Energy: PresencePlan a more energetic wardrobe | 😐 | 🙁 | My new haircut makes me feel old, fat and frumpy and I hate it. I’m bemused by the fact that what I came out with is nothing like the pictures I took in. Weirdly I feel judged – as if I got the cut the stylist thought I deserved. Another good reason Time for a radical command presence rethink – maybe another pixie, but definitely a new hairdresser. |
Friendship: FriendsI love meeting new people, and as I am friendly and outgoing, I make friends easily. | 🙂 | 😐 | I cancelled some lunches and dinners – Sorry friends. |
Friendship: ContributionI share my knowledge, time, and money with those who need it. | 🙂 | 😐 | Managed to get a birthday gift in the post, but I fear it arrived late. Overdosed on romances (and k-drama) and thought about the nature of Love. |
Prosperity: LeisureI am brave and adventurous not afraid to try new things. | 🙂 | 😐 | After short story #4, I lost momentum, but I’m planning to get back into writing. |
Prosperity: HouseholdI live in a beautiful house, with a tranquil garden. Happy and healthy creatures and find my garden a haven. | 😐 | 😐 | I’m slowly starting to catch up on the laundry and housework. We even did some decluttering. Wrote a debt reduction plan. |
And that’s September 2018. I gave myself a bunch of elephant stickers just for surviving the days – it seemed like an enormous achievement.
Anyway, onward and upward. Your September 2018 was better than mine?
