just nattering ..................

Went down to the gym in the building today and did it ever feel good.  Don't know why I have been dissing my workouts since I came out here as I had always been a regular gym user.  Perhaps my little body just needed a break from that routine as I set up new ones for myself.  In any event, I know that I will be getting back into it on a regular basis again so that is good.

Went to a group today that was suggested to me when I ended up with an extreme anxiety episode coupled with depression.  It is something set up for people to be able to share in a non-judgmental space and is so very helpful for people struggling with mood disorders.  I realized when I first went that I was no where near the depressed states that so many of the other participants were in but I have kept it up as I thought I just should.  But today made me realize that my time with those people is done.

I am an empath and therefore very susceptible to the energy of others and my heart just kept reaching out to every one of them as they shared their lives with the group.  I felt so sorry for them and thanked the Gods that I am able to move beyond that state and get on with my life.  I was almost embarassed when it came time for me to share as I have so much shifting in my own life and am excited about the possibilities around the corner.

I am also a group facilitator so find it hard not to be jumping in and giving my input, when there is another person who is learning to be a facilitator and she is so excited to be doing so.  She is beaming and learning to accept herself, flaws and all, in this environment.  She has been coming to the group sessions for years now and is now qualified to be a "peer support worker".  It made me feel so very good watching her expand this past few weeks and I congratulated her, as did everyone else as she is coming out of her own shell and growing weekly.  So, while I will not be going regularly, I think I will still sit in every so often as I do know that my sharings act as inspiration for others and it also makes me grateful for my state at present.

I got notice regarding my application for the Canada Pension Plan, as I am officially an old dudette...smile and the amount was surprising.  Since I had not contributed for years,  I didn't think it would be much but it is almost 3 times what I had figured so YEAH ME!  Always nice to ensure a definite amount of money coming in as every little bit helps.  Also going to be sitting down with my financial person to see about shifting money to a Registered Retirement Income Fund, thus ensuring more moolah filtering in regularly.

Each day lately, I find myself giving thanks and feeling positive vibrations coursing through my body.  It appears that it is indeed true that sometimes we have to hit a hard place in our journey, in order for the good to start to surface. 

Let the games begin...........

And you have an awesome evening.
