February is Simply Love Yourself Month!
I like my simple basically low tech life. I like repurposing old stuff and giving it a new life with purpose. I like being a minimalist - I love it, in fact. I like my expressive eyes. I like my hair. I like my strength of character and my work ethic. I like how hard I work at being better than I was yesterday. I am practicing being kind and gentle with myself.
I am thinking about Finances. Finances are so touchy. We all are doing a delicate dance to take care of our lives with what we have. Unexpected expenses can upset our balance and cause us financial stress. Hopefully we can get right back on track.
I am also considering my online presence and interactions. I have always been very open and available. I originally wanted to share the idea of living a simple, conscious life, with others. I also wanted to show others that it's possible to live differently, have adventures and live with purpose even if you are a low income person on disability. I thought it might help someone to see my mistakes and successes.
While thinking about loving simply myself I also notice my home. I have much more safety now. Yet there's another one big-ish unfinished problem with this trailer. You see it has been raining all night and all day today as well. I knew I had one leak inside a wall that I haven't figured out yet.. but tonight I found a larger leak. Darn. I also found some mold.
How long will I work with this trailer? What life and home do I want as I age? I want to get back on the road, yet I don't like wandering aimlessly. I touched base with an old friend this morning. She reminded me that just having an easy way to get up and go somewhere different anytime, is important. She changed locations and vehicles and seems rather happy. (That's an example of loving yourself)
Loving yourself is being honest about your wants and needs. It's knowing what jazzes your soul and bringing it into your home to live with each day.
