Thoughts on the Past and How I Want to Feel

 September 11, 2021,

I saw this on my news feed this morning and it spoke to me. Not only did it have to do with remembering 9/11 but also the Delta Virus.  I wish I could stop imagining the worst and start imagining heaven on earth but it's something I have to work at. Some days are better than others but some times I can't, and my mind will swirl around with too much negativity.  I think we all do it unless - maybe some people are able to.  I just knew that I couldn't focus on the past "anniversary".  I'm sorry it all happened, I'm sorry for the lives lost but as my coach has taught us, "How do you want to feel?"  Being a sensitive empath, it hurts to watch the news and feel other's pains.

Our groceries were delivered around 11 this morning and after putting them away, I did some tapping with a friend who I've been working with for a few years to help her with her clarity and anxiousness.  It always helps me because I "borrow benefits", as they teach in EFT classes. When I was doing tarot, angel and psychic readings on the psychic chat site for many years, whenever I worked with a client I felt better.  I miss those days.  It's always so special when I get guidance from my guides and angels out of the blue. I think, "wow, where did that idea come from?" Then I give thanks.

I wish I could meditate without going to sleep but it is what it is, and I ended up taking a nice nap. I hope more guidance was downloaded while I slept.  

We decided on having stir fry for dinner and I like prepping food ahead of time and cooking it later.    Here's my prepped stash. 
Yellow squash, zucchini, onions, red peppers, mushrooms, garlic, spinach cooked in a little oil and butter. I season it with garlic powder and a little s&p.  When it cooks down I add a little water and a spoonful of better than bouillon chicken, then cover it with cheese.   We eat it with roasted garlic quinoa.  

I was thinking of adding some pesto to the stir fry when it was finished and maybe a little light soy sauce.  

So that's been my day so far.  We are loving the lovely cool, 53 degree mornings but the heat will be back for a little while.  Fall is coming and I will enjoy my beautiful fall shirts my husband decorated for me.

A Much Needed Pick-Me UP Day 6

I was going to get my blog written earlier but it didn't happen. I waited for a food delivery that was late.  Last time this happened, it was two hours late. They couldn't find a driver so I cancelled my order.  Three hours later it got delivered, so I contacted the store and ended up getting a $100 worth of food free.   I wondered if  this was going to be a repeat.  This time it was only ten minutes late.  So after we wiped stuff down and put the food away both of us flopped into our recliners and chilled for a while.  

My stomach started grumbling so I ended up chopping up a lot of veggies, garlic, mushrooms and stir frying them.  We ate it with brown rice and cheese.  So good! After lunch I got a bit groggy so I sat back and closed my eyes.  You can imagine what happened next.  Yep zzz.  

"I have to write my blog," I told myself when I woke up.  But I wasn't in the mood.  What do you write about when you're not in the mood? Anyone else?  Do you force yourself, skip a day or?  I'd be curious to know.

Ok, well I blogged or something like that. Here's a lively, fun, inspirational video that often helps me when I get the blah's like this.

Lunch

Stir fry vegetables with cheese is one of our favorite meals and It is so healthy.  

I chop zucchini squash, mushrooms, onions, red pepper and put them in a non stick skillet with olive oil.   Sometimes I put in cabbage or eggplant.  Or even yellow summer squash.  It all depends on what I have and what sounds good at the time.  I saute these vegetables for about ten minutes, then I add chopped garlic and some garlic powder and other spices.  While the vegetables are finishing cooking I open a can of chicken stock (you can of course use vegetable stock) and a bottle of low sodium soy sauce.  I drizzle the soy sauce around once or twice and add about the same amount of broth.  Then I throw in a big handful of cheese. We like the taco blend cheese or mexican blend.

I serve this with either quinoa or brown rice. I've even eaten it over whole wheat pasta.  I haven't tried pesto but I bet that would be good too.

Yes one can add tomato sauce or alfredo too.

What would you add to this dish?
