Dear Diary,
I woke up at 5:30 AM. I had slept good but still felt tired from going to sleep so late. Tracey got up to make tea and sent me his gratitudes. They were:
Good morning beautiful
I am grateful for early morning breath awareness. I am grateful for wonderful sleep. I am grateful for morning stars. I am grateful for a new bed. I am grateful for a beautiful night. I am grateful for a blissful connection. I am infinitely grateful for you Victoria. I am grateful for the Universe orchestrating everything. I am grateful for Victoria’s voice. I am grateful🥰♾️💚🙏.
I send my gratitudes to him. They were:
Good morning sparkly eyes! Thank you for sharing your gratitudes with me every morning. I really enjoy reading them.
I am grateful for dragon flies. I am grateful for presence. I am grateful for campfires. I am grateful for stars. I am grateful for heart connections. I am grateful for coaching clients. I am grateful for your smile. I am grateful for the way you look at me. I am grateful for kindness.
Tracey brought me my tea. We watched the sunrise through the RV window and I wrote my blog and posted it. Tracey went for a walk and I took an hour long morning nap. When Tracey returned from his walk, I woke up and he gave me an awesome back massage. I have a couple of areas on my back that get sore. I get a pinch in my upper back on the left side just below my neck and on the right side of my lower back my hip gets out of place where it connects to the spine. When that happens, my right knee starts aching. I prayed for guidance on how to heal those areas of my body and I know I will receive the answers I seek.
After Tracey gave me that amazing massage. We sat on the couch together and talked. Then I checked the time and saw that it was getting close to when I needed to leave to go talk with a lady that wanted to meet me. I looked up her address and saw that it was out in the middle of nowhere and was going to take me 40 minutes to get there. In that case,, it was time to leave now. I jumped up, hugged Tracey goodbye and hearted (headed) out.
It was a beautiful drive out to the middle-of-nowhere and I enjoyed meeting the lady. Her cousin was there too and I also enjoyed meeting her. We sat in her beautiful cabin and visited for about an hour. When I left, I stopped by my mechanics shop on the way home to check on the RV. He said that he got it running. He pulled the gas tank, cleaned it and put on new filters. He had ordered a new catalytic converter and it would be arriving that afternoon. The RV should be ready to go sometime on Monday. That was great news!
I drove home and when I pulled up, I saw that one of Christopher’s cousins truck was there. Christopher was sitting outside talking to him. I greeted them both and went in the house to start sorting things. I went into Angel’s room and began sorting books. I put them all in a big bag and put them in the back of the pickup. There was another pile of stuff I was donating that was in the corner of the kitchen. I loaded all of it in the back of the pickup. I briefly chatted with Christopher and his cousin while I put fresh water in the duck pools. Christopher’s cousin left and I hugged him goodbye. I watered all of my potted plants and let the water out of Angels pool. Then I went into the house and made a gallon and a half of pineapple/apple juice. Christopher came inside and talked to me while I was juicing. He told me that he went grocery shopping that morning at his usual store, which is Brookshire Brothers in Caldwell. He randomly checked down the sports drink aisle to see if they had coconut water and the did. They had just started carrying it. He’s been having me get his coconut water for him when I go to Walmart. He won’t go to Walmart because his ex-girlfriend works there. With me leaving he was concerned about how he was going to get his coconut water. Last week he drove to H-E-B in Brenham to get it but he doesn’t like to go that far away from his land on a regular basis. Now his usual grocery store had it and he was very happy about that. I was happy for him and told him that everything was working out perfectly for him.
I washed the juicer and cleaned up the kitchen. Then I drove to Milano to drop off my donation items at the fire department. Every spring and fall, they have a big garage sale put on by the ladies auxiliary to benefit the volunteer fire department. I dropped everything off and drove to Tracey’s. He wasn’t there when I arrived. So I went inside and started writing my blog. He came in shortly after and had been out on a run. He was hot and sweaty, so we went swimming in the pond. I did a full body relaxation session and stretched. Then I held onto to Tracey while he walked around the pond and we watched the dragon flies.
We got out and walked back to Tracey’s. My adult daughter called and asked if she could keep Angel another night. I gladly said yes, I think it’s wonderful they are spending time together. I laid my head in Tracey’s lap on the couch and we talked. Then I fell asleep and had a great afternoon nap. When I woke up, I still had my head on Tracey’s lap. He said that he had fallen asleep too. He got up and made tea. Then I left for play practice.
On the way to play practice, I stopped at Walmart and stocked up on produce. I was the last one to arrive for play practice. I quickly put on my makeup and got into costume. Then we did a run through of the play. It’s such a fun play. I feel grateful to be a part of it. There is a lot of playful bantering that happens between the cast. We all have a great time together. The guy who plays Charlie Brown and I really get going with our witty remarks to each other. I love fun interactions with people. It’s so fulfilling.
After practice, I drove to Tracey’s. He was in bed when I arrived. We talked for a while. Then we watched part of the movie “The Burbs” on my phone. It’s such a great comedy movie made in 1989. We laughed and enjoyed having some TV time. I turned off the movie and we laid cuddling. We had a wonderful conversation about accepting each other as we are, following our inner guidance and living by faith. I have no idea what time it was when we fell asleep.
Thank you for reading my blog and being a part of my life. I appreciate you.
Love, Victoria
