Moving gently into the new

In 2009 my mom was gifted with a Louise Hay desk calendar - at the beginning of each month there was a monthly affirmation and then, every day, there was an affirmation related to the monthly theme. It was simple and beautiful and - although we did not remember to change the date every day - whenever we checked it, it helped set the tone for the day. A thought to be kept in the back of one's mind, a saying that brought things to the surface, or a reflection of one's own feelings on some matter.

At the end of 2009 we were a bit gloomy as it meant that the calendar would no longer apply... but we recycled it - ignored the dates that were off by a day and went through the calendar again for 2010. In 2011, I found the app for the calendar and since then I've downloaded it at the end of each year. I'd email the affirmations to my mom whenever I checked it (sometimes daily, sometimes not) and we'd sometimes talk about it.  

Today's affirmation is:

I'm always amazed by how well the daily affirmation can reflect my own thoughts and feelings.

peace,

Random thoughts...

"Life consists of what a person is thinking about all day." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why do buildings in the Caribbean have air conditioning? Surely there must be a better way to cool buildings? As it is right now inside my workplace is FREEZING and we've got really poor air quality due to the lack of proper air circulation. I was not born in a cold place... I am not made for temperatures below twenty degrees Celsius...  If I step outside of my workplace it's somewhat humid.. a bit warm... it's raining today.

 

This is of course because of climate change. I've never known it to have so much rain in a dry season in all my years of life in T&T. Climate change - more people need to be aware of and acknowledge it.

 

Why do persons leave important things to the last minute? There's a Major Work Event happening and there's so much to be done... let's all run around like chickens with our heads cut off...

 

Why is it that when I say 'I'm vegetarian' people think that 'She eats fish'? I don't eat fish. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian. Fish is not included... EVER. Perhaps I shall just start telling the world the whole phrase: 'I'm a lacto-ovo-vegetarian'... I can see that this may lead to a lot of explaining on my part.

 

Why is my daily calendar stuck on April 18th! O_o have I been so busy at work that I haven't changed it?? :s

 

Why do drink makers think that 5% juice is acceptable?

 

Why is it not yet weekend?
