Day 9 and 10

Day 9
After writing my experiences of gift giving, I was sure that I would deliberately give a gift and with consciousness. Yet, the day passed uneventful for my Sunday as I continue to do and yet nothing gets done--particularly achieving a clean house with everything in its place. And then I saw THAT was the gift I could give myself today... just being okay with exactly the way things were. Of course, it helps not to have a roommate who has something to say about it!
Day 10
Yes, gift giving--deliberate and conscious is really challenge. When you just think about how fast each day goes--like a whirl. It makes me want to pause more and be conscious in every step. Okay, I will! I am going to consciously go through my life noticing things. Tonight I picked up Sasha for the boss of my temporary job. I could not say no as my boss is going out of town. I could have said no yet there was no reason. Sasha is this tempermental spoilt poodle mix who is only 1 year old. As soon as I got her and her crate into my house all hell let loose. I did not mention that I have two rescue dogs who are old and set in their ways. A beagle mix and a lab were not pleased that I had a new friend to distract them from their coveted attention from their master. Barking and chasing soon began! Okay, okay, okay... settle down! I thought I could let Sasha roam my home as I let my older dogs do. Big mistake as at 4 a.m. I got to see her little poops. Okay back in the crate as I long for some sleep. Yep, dog sitting my boss's pouch is definitely my gift of day 10!
