Day's Ratings:

Happy and grateful BUT also overwhelmed and a bit scared.
Emotional Expression:
Ran the gamut.
Felt relieved and proud to have gotten an idea written and out in the world.
Didn't laugh much but felt calm in between the overwhelm.
Just realized I meant to tone today to zap the stress but did not.
Did however put on my charkra balancing submliminals before taking afternoon nap.
Remembered what was happening last year and felt so Blessed and grateful to be alive.

Very strong for most of the morning. Had to take hold and walk myself through thought patterns causing the overwhelm to climb back to powerful attitude and mindset.

Lost forever:
Writing yesterday's End of Day Journal. I WAS working all night on finishing the Challenge Announcement post but still.
Main Highlights:
Today was marked by taking a scary public stand for taking specific, consistent action every day.
It was also the second straight day that my adoptive parent cat stayed with me all day and night, leaving just a couple times and not for long.
I spent last even and most of the first nine hours completing then editing my first Challenge Announcement page.
Then I spent most of the early afternoon and late night wondering what the hell I'd done.
I'm just barely past crawling out of an almost total shutdown after my sister passed the morning of Thanksgiving Day, 2016.
Yes, I shut down for almost a year.
I stopped writing all my fiction, completing the editing and publishing of one or two new books, then completely stopped. Even decided not to renew my pen name's domain.
After a major health crisis and diagnosis right after my birthday that resulted in a hospital stay in March/April of last year, a Win day involved:
- walking a couple times to back and forth from my bedroom to the kitchen door
- eating 2-3 salads
- being able to read for 45 minutes, then more further down in the year
- getting out of the seeming eternal mental fog long enough to think three sequential clear thoughts
- being able to spend longer than a half an hour to learn how to use new membership site software I bought
- replying to 1 or 2 emails
- when I didn't burst out crying for no reason
Yes the recovery was long. Longer than necessary.
It's been much better.
And today, amidst the overwhelm and wondering if I can even publish two quality posts a day, much less lead and encourage anyone who joins in to do the same, I felt grateful to be alive.
Because last year, this very day and period, that was not a given.
Welcome, Suzanne!
Today I also celebrated the arrival and activity of my sister, @sasukhram on Steemit.
She's amazing. She writes well, is a critical thinker and feels deeply about so many things.
She homeschools, runs her own business and is always learning and mastering new skills.
She also wrote her two first posts on her first day. Maybe I can get her to write min? ;)
Please drop by, give her a shout-out and follow her. You can thank me later. ;)
Still shy sharing my galactic toning sound healing
I have to do some toning today... yes, we've eased in to the next day.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to upload my toning to Steemit yet but I will try to upload an audio of some kind later today.
Challenge Announcement:
Between now and Sunday when the two posts and ten comments a day Challenge starts, I'll have to split my time between getting those sliding membership site To Do's and prepping for the Challenge done.
Here's where you can read up on the 7-Day Build Your Steemit Profits Weekly Accountability Challenge.
Cat Update:
My beautiful new cat companion seems to be taking a long break from outside activity.
He is so gentle. He's now been in my bedroom exclusively except for one or two veryyy short periods. Short meaning like less than ten minutes at the most.
He is extremely tame. But very wary of other cats. Not sure if he was with someone then found himself out on his own, fending for himself. But at his young age (four, maybe five months), he has a formidable growl for any cat that gets within a few feet when he's eating.
His new fav spot is a chair that he's basically now monopolizing. And he spent most of the last twenty four hours fast asleep. Will upload a pic soon.
Ok, that's the bones of... yesterday..
I'm going to catch up on a bit of news while I have a very late dinner.
Yesterday was my 19th day here on Steemit. 19 is one of the most powerful numbers.
It occurred to me a couple times yesterday that although I hadn't planned it, publishing a scary Challenge Announcement on the 19th was neither a coincidence nor a bad 'choice'.
Yesterday also marked the 25th anniversary of getting married. Amazing.
Yes, I'm really going now. I hope you enjoyed your day yesterday.
Much more importantly though, make sure you enjoy today. The very first Friday in March, 2018.
Breathe consciously every time you remember. Connect with and breathe in to your heart area. Relax. Let the world get on with itself for a few minutes.
Just be with you. Celebrate that you're still here. Kicking and breathing and expressing who you are as best as you can in each moment. Just breathe. And allow... you. Out.
Talk again later today,
Angela
