Birthday reflection

It’s my birthday this weekend and I feel like reflecting a little on the first half of the year. I sense that things have turned a corner for me in the last two weeks, and that the rest of the year is going to be gentler, somehow. I’ve been frantically busy but happy with new challenges at work, and still have other career opportunities on the horizon. Stangely, I picked up a book of 2010 horoscopes in Exclusive Books the other day and it forecast the last week as the busiest and most stressful of my year! While I’m feeling good about work, I want to address salary issues and get my finances in better order. I’ve risen to the challenge of continuing with my second degree, and have passed more subjects part-time. So I’m feeling great about that, and motivated to carry on.

I’m happy about my growing social circle – for the first time since I moved back to Cape Town I suddenly feel that I have an established and large group of friends again. I’m looking forward to my party tomorrow night.

Things with R are generally good – but I need to be aware of taking my tiredness and scratchiness out on him. I’m concerned about him – career and health-wise – and I want to support him as much as possible for the next little while.

I am missing my sister overseas and would like to go home for a holiday to see my parents before the end of the year if possible, just to connect and see how they really are. The phone doesn’t always do the trick. Death and illness in the extended family has been a sad theme in recent months, and I’m sending all of my energy and love to my mom’s cousin in KZN, battling with cancer.

My health has been good, and my immune system feels particularly strong at the moment. I think my cutting back on alcohol has helped my system enormously. I’ve lost a little weight without any effort and I’m feeling comfortable in my body again. I need to work on my fitness in the next part of the year. Once the days start lengthening again I hope to have more time to run after work in the evenings.

I’ve also been more in tune with myself spiritually this month, and remembered how much more powerful I am when I’m operating using my intuition and powers of visualisation.

So overall I’m feeling more balanced than I have in a long time, and I’m happy and excited about the year ahead.

Have a good weekend – I hope to be back with a Friday High Five next week.
