On the plus side, it was a weekend of connection ~ I connected with many friends who felt 'led' to contact me. Truly a blessing to me! Thank you. On the flip side, it was a weekend of pushing some physical boundaries and 'reaping' the consequences.
Our lawns needed mowing as the grass was so thick from the recent rain. MOAHS and I decided that we would mow before any storms hit. With my hands on my hips, I firmly stated that I would use the hand-mower as he had a tendency to just keep going and then fall over in exhaustion. He could then us the ride-on mower and do the majority of the yard safely. That told him, didn't it!?! After half an hour pushing our lawnmower around the yard, I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach. Gah! I went to the tanks and let cold water rush over my face and head to try and cool me down. I sipped cool water for approximately twenty minutes then felt ready to do the next part of the yard. After three more rounds of twenty minutes mowing, ten minutes resting (and finishing my job), I was able to retreat to the entertainment area. I ached and heaved as the world swam before my eyes. This wasn't good.
MOAHS returned from his lawnmowing adventure (learning that one should never tussle with bougainvillea bushes), took one look at me and sent me to have a shower and a lie down. Merciful Goddess! To lie down under a fan was pure bliss. During my rest, my body flared with the auto-immune condition that plagues my physical body. Double Gah! So, I know that the next week will be one where I have to look after myself very carefully!
We did manage to plant two poinsettia bushes and another croton on the weekend. Hopefully, this will fill a 'void' in our garden. As hubby watered the vegie patch yesterday, I seeded lawns and 'bare spots'. Sending love and light and gentle rain to all of these!
Today, before I wrote this, I was researching the New Moon and Chinese New Year cycle. I came across some information stating the solar flares of the last week have been the biggest. This usually means feeling lethargic, eye problems, headaches, migraines, exhaustion and experiencing weird dreams. Ta-dah! That resonated so strongly for me.
As the cycles of the year move into the year of the Water Dragon, I've taken the time to sit and really think about what I would like in nine different areas of my life. On the 23rd, during the night, I will offer these to the the dieties of my choice with some simple words of thanks and honour.
Number 1 on the list? No more manic mowing!
Namaste
