Whew, what a weekend. Three of my buildings are turning over next week, December 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I have been working tirelessly with my team to get them ready for the owner walk throughs for the last several months. The last month has been particularly stressful, and a really good reminder to me to stay present. This weekend everyone left for the long Thanksgiving weekend. That left me to be here myself to shoulder all of the work. By Wednesday I was quite frazzled and did not want to hear everyone's frivolity as they made plans for a 4 day weekend, and looking forward to a good respite from the job. I was sleep deprived and more than a little triggered. The first lovely thing that happened is that Dan volunteered to come in with me. With that support, I slept well for the first time Wednesday night. We had a very restful Thanksgiving, by ourselves. This is the first one by ourselves ever. We are thankful for everyone we ever spent this day with, and sent good thoughts to Pete in Thailand.
Dan and I did manual labor to get the buildings ready, it is just what happens toward the end of the job. Saturday morning he let me sleep in, and I had a wonderful restorative morning. So here it is Sunday afternoon. I have cleaners at the buildings, and I will go back in a little while to check on them and stay to lock up. I did my best to stay present. I realized this weekend once again what it means to be a priestess. From this place I can do or not do whatever is here. I was again reminded that whatever I need arises in my everyday experiences, that is what my life is for. There is still a way to go before the buildings are completely ready. But I am not alone in this, I never have been.
Much gratitude and love to Dan, and to all my helpers, seen and unseen.
