Feeling loosey-goosey after a massage. Laura is a gentle soul with thumbs like chisels- in a good way.
I have no idea why I hold more tension in the right side of my body than in the left side. The same pressure that feels like a knife on the right feels like nothing on the left. Go figure.
I am in the mood for release! Releasing tension from my body, stuff from the house. I started listening to "Shed" Julie Morgenstern's latest ("Organizing From the Inside Out"). She suggests to name a theme for your life. Theme your past. Theme your future. She writes that it is typical to feel the need to reinvent one's self after transitions.
My big transition this past year was empty nest (or mostly empty) and commitment to self. Younger son, Sasha, will be moving home this Saturday to live after transferring to a local college. HMMMM. Just when I was getting used to the new routine...
Mothering in a different way. Not that I was a June Cleaver before Sasha left for Wash Col. He has bemoaned the fact that he hasn't had a TV mom for years. Sasha loves giving me grief for not being his personal chef. In fact, one of his favorite activities is giving me a hard time about ANYTHING. He loves it!
It will be interesting to see if I hold even more tension in my very lower back after Sasha comes home.
I love him and I know he loves me.
And so it is. Karen
