Somehow I lost my sidebar on the front page of the blog and after an hour of trying to figure it out I lost all the settings and the sidebar totally disappeared from the rest of the pages.  I’m no expert to this technical stuff and when it begins talking lingo I don’t understand my head gets all muddled up and I quickly lose focus.  Hopefully, I will get some time later this afternoon to figure it out or get some help to get it back up.

I have my six month follow-up with the oncologist today.  It’s been a bit nerve-racking this weekend thinking about it though I feel very good about what the outcome will be.  Though it’s always good when it’s done and over with.

To distract myself I sorted out the stuff from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival that I purchased and after some trading managed to get some final pieces to complete sets.  Just showing one of my favorite sets from this round.

Have a great day!

Lesson 38

 

Snapshot_0252

A great reminder to include play in our lives.  For me, part of my play and relaxation is taking pictures in Second Life.   Though I like that this lesson sends me a subtle hint with getting some art supplies as I have been wanting to get back into painting and have not made the time.

Lesson 38: Play!

Remember “recess” and “play dates’ when you were a kid? As children, we recognize the value of letting everything go and simply enjoying ourselves. But too often, by the time we hit adulthood, our work-to-play ratio is completely out of balance.

Playing is essential. Not only is it fun, but it also renews and refreshes us, helping us better focus on the more serious aspects of our lives.

Your assignment this week is to play. And if you’re one of those people who grudgingly participates in leisure activities and then spends the whole time thinking about what you “should” be doing, I invite you to engage your whole body, mind, and spirit in the playful activity you choose.

Your Self-Love Assignment

You are hereby ordered to schedule an activity that has no usefulness other than its enjoyment to you. Go bowling with friends, or perhaps get some art supplies and spend an afternoon expressing your creative side.

Playing could also mean picking up a hobby you gave up in honor of being productive in the world. Is there an old instrument somewhere on the shelf of your garage? When’s the last time you rode a bicycle, played jump rope or hopscotch, or put on your favorite music and sang out loud? This is the week to let your playful side out. Notice how your fun-loving attitude translates into other aspects of your life.
