We are energy creatures!
What a neat word, energy creatures! We live in a world full of energy and we ourselves are also part of that world.
Earlier today, during a work project, I really felt how this energy clearly can change and how quickly it can happen. For a few days we have been sitting 10 people in a large office and there has been a very positive energy, despite a boring project. We've been working on it and somehow made the boring feel okay. Now, as the project draws to a close, we are suddenly told that we will not be reimbursed for the last day. Because we have worked so well, the tasks will end earlier than expected. When this news reached us in the office, it was as if the air had completely gone out of the room. You could almost feel the energy. Everyone started to work more slowly, the positive spirit just disappeared and no one felt motivated to do a good job anymore. The damage was already done when the employer found out how we, who were working, were taking it all. Despite attempts by the employer to repair the damage, it made no difference to the energy in the room.
There are plenty of examples of how energy can change rapidly. You've probably felt when someone has come along and just gobbled up your energy or when someone else makes you stressed just by being in the same room as you. You've probably also experienced how different environments affect you in different ways. Everything around us is energy and we are really just small, but pretty complex energy beings!
Thought of the day:
How are you affected by and how do you affect the energy around you?

Is it a flower?
Last Friday, my children and I picked Daddy D up at the train station. We see him walking at a distance and see that he is carrying something.
- Is it a flower? says V.
- No, I don't think so, I reply.
- You didn't ask him to buy a flower, Mum, so it's probably something else, says O.
It was something else he came carrying. It was not a flower.
I am going offline
It's almost the weekend again. I'm going offline. All weekend. It will be so nice! The computer will not be used and the phone will be on flight mode. I wonder if I can do that?
Thought of the day:
Do you ever go offline?

It's almost comical!
I wasn't surprised this morning when I woke up and realised I had caught a bad cold! It's almost comical! I have had and have a huge stress load from various sources and the sum of these has broken down my immune system and after a few bad nights sleep, the cold breaks out. When I don't give my body the opportunity to rest and recover it immediately punishes me, bam! And I am grateful! Grateful because I am so sensitive and because I know how my body works.

Candles and fluffy sweaters
It has been raining and the sky has been grey for many, many days now. It affects me and it affects others. Fortunately, I can find one pleasure in the autumn weather and that is to light candles, lots of candles, to make it as cosy as it can get when there is autumn debris outside. And just before bedtime, it's almost a must to curl up on the couch wearing a fluffy sweater with a warm cup of tea on my lap.
