My headache has gone away. YAY!! I love acupuncture....
nice and quiet, relaxing me time. That's seems to be what I needed to have that headache finally let go. Now I am just waiting to emerge from the "hangover"
Today was a pretty good day...busy.
Smiles this week:
hubby being awake and asking about my day every night this week
Actually feeling like I was accomplishing something at work instead of spinning my wheel
people liking my new hair cut and color
Planning a kids party- love it!!
trying Moxie for the first time- not too bad...not my favorite but the three sips were pretty good...and now I can say I've tried it
figuring out a christmas present for my dad--that never happens this early!
warm sheets and a down comforter...
a day off tomorrow...that's the biggest reason for me to smile this week!

Here are my answers to your questions:1. You are having a dinner party for 10 people - who would have [living or dead]?
My niece and four nephews, my great grandmother, my mom, my grandfather, my uncle jim, my uncle red2. Have you ever had something bad happen that turned out to be a blessing in disguise?
I talked about this earlier in the week- but yes, there have been many things that have happened at the time that seemed really bad, that I ended up learning something or being able to help someone else as a result.3. What do you consider your greatest achievement to date?
Nothing in particular comes to mind- graduating from college was a huge accomplishment, staying married for 10 years has been quite an accomplishment!4. What is the best part of your day?
Coming home to my hubby and my kitties to my own house. The feeling of truly being home, that place where you can just be yourself, without worrying about anything else....
I tag the people who read my blog...anyone who wants to play
1. What made you start blogging?
2. If you could go anywhere in the world- where would you go and why?
3. Is there anything you have wanted to try, but haven't had the means to do it yet?
4. Where is the one place on earth that you feel most at peace?
Hugs to you all!!

zoning out
Acupuncture today...fabulous,..
I got there, he made me smile, led me into a room, asked me how things were going. He didn't buy my "everything's fine" line. Made me open up a bit and talk about the craziness that has been work and life in general lately. He has a very soothing voice, which is odd to think about this man who is sticking needles in me. He seems genuinely concerned about me, about us having a baby, so nice, kinda like a therapists office, but less..I don't know..intrusive. He puts on my favorite cd that he has, turns the lights off, with his usual, call me if you need anything and I close my eyes. Concentrating on my breathing, takes five minutes to shut my brain off enough. I can feel the breath, from my toes all the way up through my arms out my fingers, reverse it, comes in through my fingertips and all the way down to my toes. I concentrate of feeling the energy hitting each needle, coursing through my body. Relaxing, feeling the music, picturing a clearing in the woods, with a river, sitting and absorbing the energy from the forest that surrounds me in my head, relaxed, almost transported there. I can picture this place in my head with such clarity. I can feel the energy of the earth, the breath of the trees, the beat of the heart that is that place. Still taking deep breaths, concentrate on nothing- which is no easy task by the way- thoughts threaten to intrude on this sacred place- push them back- close the door in my head, this is my time, not time to think about work, or family or school or even my dear hubby. This is the ultimate me time- the time for my breath to heal whatever is ailing me- the time for my energy to carry away the headache and the aches and pains from the wet damp weather. I feel those pains, the worries and the stress escaping through my fingers and toes with every breath. I hear the music, a breeze rustling those trees in my head. I am at peace, laying there on the table- in that forest clearing in my head, the world has finally stopped for a few minutes, the pace has slowed and there is nothing except for the knowledge that my breath can carry away the worries- the energy is focused and coursing through my body and I can feel it- I can feel the chakras line up and the energy balancing and feeding each one. I hear him open the door and gradually pull myself out of the forest, saying goodbye and thanking the space for bringing me peace, aware of the energy as he pulls out each needle, still feeling it in my body. Take your time getting up he says in his peaceful voice. Sit up, put on my shoes and it's time to go back to reality. I relish the moments, the peace, the awareness that I have because of acupuncture. I am a convert...and I will continue to go every opportunity I have, because the gift of peace is priceless.
So that's how I feel about acupuncture and I am grateful that I allowed myself the learning experience and took the leap to go and do it for the first time...
I am terribly behind on commenting- it has been a bunch of late nights....promise I will catch up- know that I am reading everything you post...
