Wow, I'm enjoying this thread! How often do we get to blow our own trumpets?! Not often!
Yesterday the smartest thing I did was invite an nhs professional to a systemic meeting for a child I'm working with. So often these children have many different people trying to help them but working individually and in an unco-ordinated way. What's more, she agreed to come!
Dang, I'm good!
LOL! I don't think I've ever said that in my life!

Wrote a chapter of family history, repaired a frame, cleaned the shed, made yogurt and beef jerkey, exercised, drank lots of water, did laundry, took out 2 trees that are next to my house that are rooting my foundation, cleaned the gutters, cleaned and organized my closet, went to bed early last night for a change. Had a pretty good day.
Lord, I love thee For the music of the waters, For the wild wind's melody, For the arch of heaven's splendor, For the secrets of the sea. For the wonders of the night-time, For the glory of the day, For the blessed joy of living, Lord I love thee. For the pearly flush of rose leaves, For the flower scented air, For the trembling hush of dawning, For all the beauty of everywhere, For the joy of friendly faces, For the graces of each day, For the hope of winning heaven, Lord I love thee.

Stayed indoors! Severe weather warnings and tornado warnings in Sacramento, CA! It has been raining, hailing, lightening and thunder, on June 1st:) Today Sacramento made a new record for the lowest, high temperature on June 1 ever. Only a high of 62 degrees today!

I "bucked-up" and just got some things done. Went out in the cold and delivered some signs, wrote some emails, even straightened up the office a bit. Last, and surely not least, DH and I went for a walk even though it was cold and dark out.

Today today today --- I was in the hardware store and it hit me, look at adapters for handheld shower heads!
We received a dual shower-head as a wedding gift. One of the heads was this "rain sunflower" shaped one. You know, the big round disk that gives the gentle rain-like shower. It is cool looking, but does nothing for our shower pleasure! We like firm flow one best, but it is mounted with a suction cup on the wall. Every so often it comes un-suctioned and falls noisily into the tub; usually after we have fallen asleep for the night. So, I found an adapter and installed it for the handheld and took the rain-style head off. for me.

I haven't been able to sleep well lately, so today I listened to my body and just stayed in bed. I fell back asleep a few times and now it's time to go to work and I'm feeling better from being able to catch up on some much needed sleep
I dreamed I was assigned to do an assessment on my grandson- I dreamed all kinds of scenarios about how to get around how unethical that really would be- but I wanted to do the assessment because he is so bright and wonderful and I love him so much. I was really glad to finally wake up this morning with clarity about boundaries! It is funny how our work accompanies us, even when we don't want it to. I suppose that is why I like "pounding it off" on my beach walks.

I did not sleep well lastnight. I was up at least 3-4 times so when morning came, I layed around in bed for a couple of hours trying to talk myself into getting up and going for a walk. Finally I did just that! I was bored with my usual walk so I walked the opposite direction and there was a very steep hill, I did not think I would make it up the hill, but I did! I made it up the hill one direction and then again coming back. I walked all over through the botanical garden too! I ended up walking 2 1/2 miles and loved it!
Dang, I am very good at making a commitment and sticking to it-even when I'm extra tired!

We are the clan that takes care of everyone else. Every day we make some very tough decisions that impact a lot of people. Then we spend way too much time "shoulding" on ourselves; let's get rid of " I should have"...
There are moments in the day when I do something - either for someone else or for myself, that I look back on and say "That was pretty darn smart" or "DANG, I'm good!" It isn't always a big thing. And I know it made a positive difference.
Today, I went into a meeting with a woman holding a worry that I was going to be faced with a situation that I was not going to be able to help with at all, and that she was going to be more frustrated and disappointed than when we started. It all ended up with her looking forward to our next meeting, she feels knows that I am here to empower her and help make things easy, and she is excited to share some seeds with me for my garden I feel pretty good about it too!!
What did I do? Make sure that I listened to what she had to say, acknowledge her perspective and feelings, and not judge her actions.
Dang I'm good!! Say it with me now --- "Dang! I'm good!"
Tell me what you did today that acknowledged your skill and power?
