Day 1 5/26
Food: Mangos, bananas, blended strawberries and tomatoes, romaine lettuce. Not enough ripe fruit in the house today, so I didn't eat enough.
Movement: Walking and Feldenkrais Lesson #3 Rolling to sit.
Love and Joy: Dancing with my cute baby. Reading my 5 year-old's kindergarten portfolio and seeing how much she has grown this year. Today is the kids' last day of school and summer fun begins.
Day 2 5/27 My dear husband's 35th birthday.
Food: Mangos, banana/ sweet cherry smoothie, cherub tomatoes, avocado and romaine, cooked food from my husband's birthday dinner (not happy about that one... but it gave me an opportunity to practice self-acceptance and compassion)
Movement: Walked with the children to the park and chased the baby around for awhile.
Healing: Was feeling a lot of shame and sadness early in the day. Was later able to pinpoint what had triggered that and name my needs around that, but I still could have used some more... something. Was feeling stressed. But, last night I was able to offer my daughter some empathy when she got really upset and scared at bedtime. She was really receptive to it, and calmed down. It was so nice to be able to help her. She hugged me really tight and told me she loved me, and then went right to sleep.
Love and joy: Got my kids a little kiddie pool that they have been asking for. They were so happy! Felt lots of love for my husband who is having a mini midlife crisis on his birthday. LOL!

Oh, what self-awareness you have. Too cool!
Happy Birthday to hubby! I feel midlife crises shouldn't really start until we're 50 (because we all are going to live to at least 100). ;-)
Hi Kim,
Thanks for the compliment, and the birthday wishes for my husband.
Marjorie
