and i'm doing ok! sure there are some sad moments, there are some times of day that are still hard (although they are getting easier) and there are some things that ben and i shared that i will miss for a long time to come...
but i am doing the things i want to do and if i'm honest, things that i have wanted to do but put on hold, for a long time...(read as my fault, not blaming him)...
so monday nights are now dedicated to a 2 hour meditation class - lastnight was my first one and i loved it! the teacher was amazing - so calm and such a lovely voice and some very funny and down to earth ways of teaching buddhism!
so now have monday nights sorted, just need to sort out the other nights! no seriously, i'm not going to fill up all of my available time - as the weeks have passed i have come (slowly, and i'm not all the way there yet) to enjoy my own time/company again...
my study looks amazing - new filing cabinet (i put it together myself and now have a cut on my right hand which stings like buggery), moved the chinese cabinet to another space and it now proudly hosts a zen sand tray/garden from my lovely friend pissoir...
see her and I hadn't talked for ages, she missed my birthday and it had been over 3 weeks since ben and I split and i still hadn't heard from her, so i dropped her an email and we ended up talking for over an hour last week - nice to re-connect with her and when i was telling her i'd been looking for a zen sand garden she was obviously listening, coz my buzzer went this morning and i wasn't expecting a package, so imagine my surprise when a massive envelope turns up...
thank you pissoir - it's a fantastic gift, and like your friendship, means a lot to me :-)
also did a coaching session by phone today - my first one - and it went well! used some part of the GROW model and had a great session...
got some amazing feedback today from the wife of one of my clients - he also sent me a testimonial which will shortly appear on the website...it's so nice to get positive feedback about the work i am doing...this is one of the reasons why i love what i do right now, and as i said to her 'i really believe this is what i was put on the earth to do' - she agreed and said that she wanted to make sure i knew i was making a difference....thank you!
so things are starting to turn - i'm looking forward to this friday night - theatre with some girlfriends, catching up with friends on the weekend, a busy rest of the week and then next weekend some time in canberra with my folks...
with each day i find things easier and find that i spend more time happy than sad....
i am very fortunate as i have MANY amazingly supportive friends - without them and my folks, i don't quite know how i would have gotten thru this time....so to each of you, my friends, and my mum and dad, a big and heartfelt thank you...
