Perfect!!

As I surmised Thursday and Friday was hard hot slog, so much so that I have decided that in future I shall split the work over 3 days - when I get tired I get clumsy - I noticed on Friday by mid afternoon I kept bumping into everything and by the time I left I was convinced I had missed something - got home around 7.30ish to find 20 missed calls from F and a text {D didn't bring the phone up with him} and an email asking D to leave pool water supply on and for us to put out the extra air con units - email in response with apologies and a promise to ensure I always have phone with me when working - his next email was to say that La Era looked " perfect" ahhh I am a sucker for praise!! As an experiment over the 2 days I ensured that I spent 10 mins in meditation/intention - that I could do all well with plenty of energy and no aches and pains/giving thanks for the work and gratitude for having such a beautiful place to live and work and guess what - yeah OK I was tired by Friday evening BUT the usual achy back etc from all the bending was missing - so a nightcap at the Cave was our treat - a very large Baileys with muchos hielo y tapas pescado and watch the world go by........ah the joys of living in Spain
Bloody 'ell as I am writing this D appears and tells me it is raining -it evaporates so quickly that I will still need to water some of the plants........
2 new blogs I have added to my list one Kaffir Girl is written by a Pakistani lady -Atheist Girls written by a couple of Southern girls - worth a visit!!
Christianity teaches that you shall reap what you sow {scientifically what goes around comes around LOL} anyway looks like the ole Catholic church is dong some more reaping.........link here
The Muslims don't need to "wage a war"" on the Christians they are "Doing for themselves"
Haha Val so where do I get a little guy from then??
Oh Angie I hope you didn't take offense/or were hurt :( - it's only in past few years I have really been aware of this part of me and in retrospect I see many times when a switch seemed to trigger in me and I could no longer lend energy to the "victim mode" - I did it to D once - he told me he suffered asthma attacks occasionally - after a few months I became aware that with him they were a form of emotional blackmail albeit unconscious on his part and eventually I told him in no uncertain terms that he could quit the E.B. as I wasn't gonna play any more and you know to this day he has never had another attack..........poor Sa has also been on the receiving end of my " tough love" - talking of Sa - strange to suddenly be cut off from her again, as her new place has no phone or broadband - something more to be learnt here then as I find myself realising how much I want to share stuff with her on a daily basis, guess I will just have to rely on the fact that what I think will be so we are still connected but on a different level... it will be interesting to see just how much contact if any when she gets out here at the end of the month - another 2 are now joining the party Rose and son Sam so 4 "ladies" n 5 bratz yep that right 9 of the buggers - kids are all n the floor then including ours...........
While still on the theme of tough love - Eli be strong, know that I "think" of you every day - I really do know what it is to seemingly "stand against" one's own mother and it is very painful - probably one of the hardest lessons and part of our path I guess coz not everyone has to go through it - you cannot allow her or anyone for that matter to emotionally blackmail you into doing what doesn't feel right to YOU, my mother "loved me" when I was dressed as she wanted, doing as she wanted etc etc - constantly telling me how to live a "right n proper life" - I was becoming schizophrenic - leading a double life - I was mid to late 30's when I finally broke free, at the time it seemed like a bereavement to me - so desperate I was to have my mother's approval/love - quite an intense emotional month or 2 before I finally realised I was free and to be grateful and I needed no "approval" from anyone else, though I guess I still seek it now and then LOL. Part of me still is a little sad that to this day she will have no contact with me - it is but a passing thought........
Well I must be awa' as I have an email from a Canadian ladie now living in the Netherlands who has contacted me through TUT {thanks Paul!!} about retreats.........all part of my creation........beginning to come together..........
I am still crocheting while keeping cool in the afternoons - having discovered a whole lot of odds n ends of last years woolly yarns I got the notion to have another hat fest then thought ha lots of hats to take when I go to Scotland in the Autumn :) A picture will appear at some point.......
Brightest Blessings and remember - keep an eye on those thoughts :) xx
