I learned that I need to check on what we have in the fridge and in the pantry before I buy groceries. We have 4 unopened jars of pickles, at least 3 bottles of Caesar dressing, and enough chicken stock to support the buoyancy of an aircraft carrier. I could go on. *sheesh*

I learned that when I take care to do certain things throughout the day, I really love myself later. For instance, when I make the bed with precision, I love myself later when I slide into smooth sheets under fluffy covers. When I wash and fold my own clothes, I love myself later when I reach into the drawer and pull out fresh, soft pajamas that smell like fabric softener. When I purposefully arrange the soap in my shower, I love myself later when right there and ready is a fragrant, new bar I was recently given as a gift to enjoy.

I learned from writing the previous paragraph that I don’t often have the forethought to, or take enough careful, deliberate action to, care for myself. I want to do that better.

I also learned from writing that paragraph that I have spent most of the day comparing Today Life with Month-Ago Life and marveling at the differences. I’m flabbergasted.

Today’s meditation helped me remember that we store bad energy from past events, yucky people, and self sabotage in our joints, in our organs, down to even in our cells, if we don’t otherwise observe that energy, feel our feels, and let that stuff go.

I learned that reorganization of my utensil drawer, pantry, and tupperware cabinet must happen immediately for my own sanity and the health and safety of others.

It’s hard to be sick. It’s REALLY hard to watch someone you love be sick.

We learn every day, don’t we?
