My Stay At Home Healing Routine, so far

I’m settling seamlessly into my new Monday-Friday Home Alone Healing routine. My days are actually pretty full and, so far, they’re flying by. Here’s how I fill them:

make and sip Flor-Essence tea
supervise and/or make packed lunches and breakfast for Lucy and Bayla
juice and guzzle: ginger, beet, celery, spinach, carrot & lemon
down a slew of supplements
bark orders at Lucy and Bayla and/or enjoy pre-school time with Lucy and Bayla
walk Lucy and Bayla to school
walk to the Gratitude Statue and back for my gratitude and affirmation meditations (5k)
enjoy peanut butter and toast and tea
catch up on email, blogging, blog reading, the news, do a little housework, maybe prepare a decent dinner
do a 30 minute excercise tape
read, dally, nap etc
jog to the Gratitude Statue (unless the pathways are snowed over)
dinner, family time
enjoy an episode or two of “Arrested Development”, “The Office” or “The Simpsons” (with popcorn, if possible)
sleep.

This coming week will be post-chemo, of course, so who knows what my routine will be. But I’m hoping my health stays fabulous and I’m able to keep enjoying this nurturing groove.

You're doing 2 5K's a day to the Gratitude statue and back? I am going to stop whining right now about my training.

The round trip to the statue is 5k and I move pretty slowly some days. The route used to be my brisk morning jog/nordic walking ritual and the gratitude was kind of secondary. These days I spend almost as much time standing at the Statue reflecting, thanking and intending as I do walking/jogging!

In fact, the statue has taken on so much meaning for me that for the very first time in my 44 years I actually have a burning desire to travel. I've decided that for our 5 year surviver celebration, the four of us will travel to Appledoon Netherlands and (hopefully) stay walking distance from the original “Man with Two Hats” monument. I do hope that happens!

You can link to both statues and some of the story here:

I'm pumped!
