I was doing great. I was on a roll. Then I went back to work and I lost my mo-jo. I only work part time, but I was full time for two weeks before resuming my part time schedule. And that was enough for me to get completely off track from my 29 Gifts, blogging, and all things for myself. In the book, 29 Gifts, she explains that you could just pick up where you left off if you miss a day. It was too hard for her to start over when she missed one day so she just moved on with her next gift and let that day go. I, however, have let too many days go between my gifts. I am pretty sure I have to start over. So tomorrow will be Gift 1, Day 1 and I will try the process again.
Hopefully the universe will forgive me.
I know I am very lucky that I am able to work part time. It's hard to do without a lot of the things we want because we don't have as much money, but I will only have one chance to be present for my two children while they are small. And that is worth the smaller salary to me.
Although, I have to admit, it was VERY hard to sign my new contract last week and visualize my salary doubled to the amount I would make if I were full time. We could remodel the kitchen. I could have that back patio converted into a 3-season porch. We could go to Europe!
But all of those things will have to wait. My babies will only be small for such a short time. And that is more important to me than money and all the nice things that come with money.
But I'm still going to buy my lottery ticket later today and pray for the best! And I will think of an appropriate gift for tomorrow. Day 1, the sequel.
