10 things I love day 18

I love that I am able to take the time for my sick little son. That I have friends who help us with groceries so that we can stay in.
I love the sun that is coming low through the window, giving a glow to the whole house.
I love that my brain is less and less foggy.
I love that the last days, when I was supposed to drink only smoothies, I got actually for 4 days in a row a free meal from friends visiting or where I was working in the garden, and I did not say no. I am going now through my three completely "green and smooth" days (today the second) and that is also fine.
I love that I got yesterday a(-nother) great idea for making my work at the website easier.
I love that I took the time to play with my son for more than two hours this morning without interrupting and wanting to do something else.
I love how my son loves me. So tender and sweet.
I love it that tonight he crawled up to me the whole night to sleep totally next to my body.
I love that in times like this, when he is sick and he does not want to (or can) eat much, I still have the breast to soothe and feed him.
I love my hair.

I love that today I invented a new green smoothie recipe.. with lemon jus (one lemon). 1 celery stick, a few slices cucumber, a bit of parsley, spinach of course, cocos juice and one spoon honey.. oh ja! and three soaked macadamias and one spoon cashew pasta and a bit of ginger! Yummy! Funny it seems simple but when I make the list of ingredients it's quite long.
I love that yesterday I managed to find an immediate solution to all the small issues that could've stopped me from getting to the garden. The whole day was a list of such little things, like, you know, someone planned them! I managed to get through the day without getting too frustrated and kinda like going through the window if through the door is not possible.
I love that I am looking forward to today although nothing special is supposed to happen.
I love that my son loved to draw. I love that when he first could stand he turned the carrot he was eating, he hold it like a pencil, and starting "drawing" on the wall. Talk about genes:-) My grandmother used to dew, my mother used to draw and paint, I am doing all kind of drawing and painting and now my son:-)
..and well.. he is also drawing on the floor..:-) I also love that, that I allow him to do things outside the borders of what "must".
I love the wild roses skin oil that I got as a present for my birthday.
I love my style. It's not a particular one, it's more what is easy to have on with all the work I have to do, it must be easy to put on, light to wear, with no complications, and healthy materials.
I love that since I moved almost 5 month ago I have for the first time aloud flowers and plants in my experience in our very small apartment. In the same day I received beautiful flowers and bought two (edible) plants:-)
I love that I want to allow in my life only loving experiences. Ii s not yet always possible but it is what I want and am consciously following.
I love it when people love whist I do. I got yesterday compliments for my work in the garden, the day before for the website I am making and today for pictures I made. Nice.

The weirdest thing happened! I woke up yesterday and had a million things to do and people to come at my place, and thought I did my list as usual.. Just now when I opened my list noticed that I did not do it yesterday!!!!?? It happened a few times in the last weeks.. It 's like I go in a parallel reality where i do things and when I come back into this one, I realize that in this one I did not do them!!??? So.. hm.. this is:

10 things I love day 16

I love that I do not go into meltdown about the things I thought I did but did not do. It gives me space, because yesterday was a crazy day and I managed to do everything I had planned otherwise.. I had a very productive talk about the website I am making and that after I had a friend with her child to visit, and we had a very nice long talk. It's been ages since we two had a nice talk like that.. if ever.. And the children (who are the same age) played very beautifully together. Great evening.
I love that when my son woke me up very early in the morning wanting to eat grapes (we did not have) and then settling for apple, I did not want to stay in bed. It is nice once in a while to get up early. Today it's also a busy day and it's great to have an easy start.
I love the energy I get from the green smoothies. I could say it every day cause it's AMAZING:-)
I love the flowers I got for my birthday, with a lot of orange and some weird flowers I never saw before.
I love that I am looking forward to a lot of work I still have to do for the website. I do it for free but it is for something I am passionate about so that feels very good.
I love that I get excitement chills when I get a great idea:-)
I love that I always know what my son wants even if he does not say a word. That comes from so much time spent together and I love that! I am so grateful that although I am single I could spend so much time with him and not send him to the creche.
I love that today I am going to work in the garden for a few hours. Working with the earth gives me a special energy in my hands:-)
I love that I feel that things are slowly coming together for me financially. I do not see it yet - ir see how that is possible, but I feel it coming and that feels wonderful.
I love Steve Jobs:-) He did great things for the computer world, and especially for people like me, who like to play with a great interface. And he is a great example of an entrepreneur. I listened to some of his interviews on the youtube and I am reading his biography. Great man I did not know anything about just a month ago.. I just love it when I discover great people:-)

I love that yesterday I put together, in one big breath, a whole website. Between reading to my son, making smoothies and a raw soup f, making something to eat for my son, and much more other things, I made a great, organized, beautiful website. I love that.
I love that I gave myself a healing session as present for my birthday, which is today.
I love that today, with my birthday, I am in the middle of the 30 days love and I also started with the 3 days green smoothies challenge. And I am 42, together that makes 3x2, all kind of 3s:-)
I love that I woke up grateful. I am grateful for my son, for my life and for my house, just to name a few. Such a great feeling to have if it's my birthday.
I love that today was a soft sunny day. Beautiful skies with transparent fast clouds.
I love that in the middle of a hectic day I kept thinking about my list for today and managed to do it although it is almost night.
I love that a lot of friends had called today to congratulate me. Friends that were always there and knew about this day but did not called before.
I love how light I feel today.
I love how someone who saw me a month ago told me that I seem today 10 years younger than last time.
I love that I am 42 and that i do not feel for a bit that I would want to change it or hide it. I love my life.

I love that I can readily accept that there are infinite realities besides this one. And that I accept the idea that I am here on Earth to perfect my skills in living here on Earth, rather than trying to get to know other realities before I am able to handle this one. I used to live in a hurry because I had this nagging feeling that I was missing on other parallel realities. I realize now that, besides on Earth in this reality, there is no time.These other worlds will always be there, just the same as now, and when I am ready, I will be there.
I love that I understand this self better and better and accept my limitations, as I believe that (paradoxically) understanding and accepting are the first steps in the direction of change.
I love that I made yesterday my first raw soup. I kinda "cheated" a bit as I used raw sour milk (self made) but It was an totally organic raw soup, quite delicious:-)
I love that I steadily can accept what is. It is not that I wouldn't want to change some things if I could, but I embrace the AA prayer: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference." Yesterday I felt unsafe and unprotected and could just look at it, as it was just a feeling.
I love communication:-) I love communicating:-)
I love beautiful landscapes. I also love to see pictures of beautiful landscapes. I see sometimes a picture and I can get lost in it, just feeling like I am there. When I was 10 years old I found a picture of a snowy landscape from somewhere in Austria, I used to stare at it for hours. The snow looked just like shiny merengue and I could hear it under my feet.
I love the cozy warmth of my house.
I love that I was always able to understand my child, even when he was in the "belly house". I understand what he wants and where his actions are coming from. Now he is also talking a lot but I realized that it is actually not necessary between us:-)
I love that I am making a website for a breastfeeding group where I -religiously!:-)- go every month. It is a way to give back the warmth that I found there.
I love that I have a lot of talents. I can make great pictures, I am good with computers, i make beautiful art, I can write, I am a great mother, I dance, and so many others. I do not say that arrogantly, I say that because I am really grateful for all these talents. Just as well I could've been born without them, or in an environment that would not permit me to develop. I love doing so many things well

I love it when out of the blue I have a conversation with someone and it goes so deep that all the layers of my being are touched. Today it happened.
I love that today my son wanted to wear something on his head because I also had something similar. It maybe looked a bit silly on me, but I loved it that we were both in style:-) It was also freezing today so it was necessary.
I love it when I get original ideas about what I could do and I get such feelings of gratitude.
I love it when my son falls asleep in my arms. He slept perfectly for one and a half hours in my arms while I was drinking tea and talking with another mother. Beautiful.
I love it when I discover a book that talks to me. The last great one I borrowed a month ago and gave back today was "the science of parenting" of Margot Sunderland.
I love it when I meet somebody on the street which I haven't seen in years. And especially if I meet them three days in a row in totally different places:-)
I love the great clearness of today. The Light was like made of porcelain.
I love it that right from the beginning I decided to speak Dutch with my son in place of my (Romanian) mother tongue. It is a great school for both of us and my son is great in Dutch.
I love it that I have curtains that keep the cold outside.
I love it that I am organized.I am really good in structure.

I love that I discover every day something about how I can live a healthier, cleaner life.
I love that my son is sleeping much better, and thus so am I.
I love the way I am feeling today. Leaner, with a great body that sustains what I want to do.
I love all the small commodities of today's life, that are mostly taken for granted: a running water toilet, a tap where cold (quite clean) and warm water is coming from at a switch, an integrated system that keeps us warm, a big window that you can open, a wooden floor, electricity..
.. and I love the other things we almost all the time take for granted: the ground I am walking on, the plants that feed me and my son and are so beautiful to see, the trees, the beautiful colors of the sky, the Sun with it's light and warmth. I love the Moon for it's romantic light and for going around our planet putting things in perpetual movement.
I love most of the inventions of Man.
I love films. I love to get myself immersed in another life and live it intensely for a few hours.
I love the sound of fresh spinach leaves when I wash them.
I love that I am craving less and less sugar. I have an organic chocolate bar in my fridge for ages and I so not feel like touching it .
I love that I can now explain things to my son, for example that there are things you can play with but not drink from:-)

Today I want to say only what I love about myself, because I have quite a challenging day from that point of view.
I love that…… let me think……

I love that I persist in making my art and loving it.
I love that I actually cannot do anything but making art.
I love that I keep doing the things I consider right with and for my child, in spite of the general view, and even if it makes life more difficult for me. And it is not about "sacrificing" myself, but about the fact that I am strong(er) and can have much more than (for example) my child can have. It is, for me, seeing from his point of view and combining that with all the child psychology I read and have read, with knowing what effect my actions would/could have on him and his future.
I love that I am adaptive and flexible. And that in the same time (lately) I know where I should listen to me and not give myself away.
I love colors and beauty. I love using colors and beauty.
I love my body. I love it from the inside. With the outside I find it a bit tricky at the moment but I am getting there..:-)
I love my hair. A few years ago somebody with the eye for that told me I have curly hair and gave me a haircut to let it show. All my life until that moment I thought that I had straight, soft hair. Since that moment I let the curls run free and I love the power of my hair.
I love my smile. It comes from so deep within and if I smile my whole body smiles.
I love that I am sincere. I am sincere in my dance, I am sincere with my friends, I am sincere with my son. I also see the different levels of sincerity and I always try to go as deep as it gets. People do not always know where the sincerity comes from and most are sincere from a very superficial level. I try to see that in me and go to the center.
I love that I am learning to be softer with myself and give myself some space to understand when I am doing stuff for others., which used to be all the time.. Not doings things for me brought me to a place where there was no space for me in the world. Now I am getting back my space. I am doing more and more things FOR ME. Because my life is mine.

I love fruit I love fruit I love fruit:-) And spinach:-)
I love Money and Money loves me:-)
I love how our green toy cow has magnet on it's "hands". At the moment it hangs on the tall black lamp.
I love that I can feel so much love.
I love that I can appreciate the ground I am walking on.
I love that I wear a lot of colors.
I love that I have a lot of hope. In spite of..
I love my friends. It is changing a lot at the moment, I am going through a transition period but some friends are forever friends. I love that. Old friends whom I did not see in years, we just meet and we start talking like all this time we were just in close contact. With some of them our children take over:-)
I love architecture. Well, I do:-) Not all of it, though. I will have to come back on that as it is also changing at the moment.
I love hugging and kissing my sweet lovely little boy.

I love that today I learned a lot about permaculture and that I got to work and talk with wonderful people at the workshop about the "forest garden". I also heard today that I could work with a small group in a garden quite nearby. Yay for that.
I love that my son got to spend time with our best friend today and that he so loves it.
I love my nights with my son. We share the bed (family bed) and to feel and hear him the whole time, to hold him if he is upset by a dream and to listen to the words that he says (very clearly) in his sleep, all bliss.
I love that yesterday I had time to clean the house thoroughly. I still love the order, even if it lasts for.. well, minutes, when my son is around:-)
I love the soup I made.
I love the 1.5l liter green juice I made yesterday. I got to drink it yesterday and today at the workshop and I feel totally refreshed by it. Other people liked it, too, including my son. Extra bonus.
I love my "painter shoes". They are low brown shoes with a lot of colors thrown over them. Everybody asks me if I made them:-) I love that, too, because it means that not only they match me but they represent my art a bit.
I love, I know I said it already, but i just LOVE the way I feel since I drink a lot of green smoothies in the morning.
I love to play with my son.
I love this weather. It is cold, sunny and dry and maybe it should be colder this time of the year, but I think, we may compensate a bit for this very cold summer we had.
