Boxes and Bags and Big Hugs!


It's a holiday weekend here in the states. I have an advanced training which is quite long and complicated that will complete at the of 2010. I attend the training during the day, come home, walk the dogs and then pack boxes. Now that I have started the packing process I'm on a bit of a roll. Last night the pooches and I were out for a walk and I was making a list in my head as to what should be packed and thinking about a solid goal I could reach by the end of the evening when I had an urge sweep over me. I knew it must be sometime in the witching hours as that is the only time I get cravings now. I stepped back to examine my urge and realized that what I really wanted was a few minutes of down time. I told myself I could have all the down time I needed. I could spend the evening doing anything I wanted or nothing at all. I instantly felt better, the urge disappeared and I ended up packing 10 boxes! I'm going to be gentle with myself through this process.
