Debbie's Birthday

Yesterday was Debbie's birthday.  We didn't do much.  She wanted to celebrate it at the bowling alley but we couldn't go because Chloe is sick.  She went with her friends and Eli and I think they had a good time.  I'm hoping Chloe gets better by next weekend so we can get together with Mark's mom and dad and celebrate Mom's birthday and Debbie's together.  We can't let Mom be around sick people because her immune system is compromised since her chemo and radiation.  I was sad the other day, Wednesday, because Mom called, she wanted to come over and hang out with Chloe, she hasn't ever wanted to do that before and I had to tell her that Chloe was sick.  But now I'm thinking that when Chloe is better Mom is going to start doing that and I think that is pretty awesome.
I'm getting really excited about my chickens and spring planting.  I have so many ideas going around in my head I can hardly stand it.  I think I need to relax and breathe deeply.  Take everything in stride and not get myself sick.  I want to learn to live in harmony.  Harmony with God first.  Harmony with family second.  Harmony with nature and life.  Find my rythem.  Be content and happy all the time.  Happiness is health for the soul, mind and body.
I still have area's in my home which need order, and as I put things in order they will begin to reflect my harmony, rythem and personality.  I am making a distinction between fighting for what you want and claiming what you want.  When I fight, I am angry, miserable and dysfunctional.  When I simply claim my space and make things the way I want them, I am in control, independant and fulfilled.  Anyway that's a thought to investigate and look back at after awhile of practicing what I'm thinking.  Making demands on someone to help me fulfil my dreams, takes them away from fulfilling their own dreams.  Demanding from myself, to produce my own dreams, gives energy to support someone else in the fulfillment of their own dreams.  When I'm in order I'm energized.  When I'm out of order I'm vulnerable to depression, self-doubt and bitching. (pointing the finger) 
The first thing for me is to maintain the ground I've already claimed and stop being so lazy.
Here's what I've claimed so far.
My kitchen, keeping it clean and functional, providing healthy food for my family whether I cook or not.  No unhealthy alternatives according to my level of education about what is good and what isn't.  That may be totally different from yours but that is ok because education is ongoing and never ending.  So I need to maintain this and not be lazy.
Routine; I'm currently working on claiming my routine.  One which is functional and healthy and will allow for the happiness and harmony of my family, especially Chloe and give me more time.  For example if I waste 2-3 hours in the mornings then I have to squeeze a days worth of chores into only a few hours.  I totally need someone to kick me in the butt.  If I could get my morning routine down to all done by 10am that would be totally awesome.  Anyway I'm working on it. 

It is Sunday and 17 days to baby chicks.
