Organizing is fun

I'm currently in the process of sorting through all of my clothes and other stuff that were sent from California. Throwing out all of the old crap that I have somehow held onto for years has been really fun! I am currently figuring out where everything will go in my room, as I will probably be here for at least a few more months, possibly through the end of the year. The recovery is going slower than I had hoped, but we did go to Chicago last weekend to see my sister (her and her husband just purchased a condo there). Getting out of town was fun and so freeing.

Other than that, just playing a ton of lexulous (scrabble on facebook) and watching lots of movies. I'm a new fan of the probiotic yoghurt thing, so we will probably go to one of the places here after dinner tonight. Mom and I are trying out a new recipe for sambar - I'll let you know how it goes!

TTYL,
Amy

Positivity and Updates

I'm on this new positivity kick lately, after reading "The Secret" yesterday afternoon. In case you are not familiar with this phenomenon, which was first written about over 100 years ago, it has a lot to offer to the world today. The Secret is also known as 'The Law of Attraction' and using positive thoughts and the process of visualization to summon positive outcomes.

From the website www.thesecret.tv:

The Secret teaches us that we create our lives, with every thought every minute of every day. Living The Secret offers tools and ideas to help you live The Secret and create the life of your dreams

So far it seems to be helping with keeping a positive outlook. At first it was really hard to focus on and banish negative thoughts, but I used the recommendation of summoning feelings of gratitude, if nothing else. I will post later in terms of results - but so far so good!

I never updated regarding the move. We are still waiting for the pod with our stuff to arrive. The tracking details show that it is in Houston, I just don't the delivery date to us. The cats are currently being boarded right now nearby, and I visit them when possible. Hasan flew with them from California to Houston after he packed the pod and had it sent off. He is in the UK right now visiting his little sister.

On the book front, I just finished a series on King Henry and Eleanor by Sharon Kay Penman. I'm currently reading a book by Sandra Gulland on Louise, the commoner wife of Louis the 16th.

I've also been catching up on Hindi movies lately, and getting back into the swing of things with Navision accounting. We do 30 minute walks once or twice a day for exercise - I can't wait to be back in the gym! Overall things are going well..I went up on the meds, but am hoping that that also translates in to a full recovery.

TTFN,
Amy
