New year, rediscovered dreams.

bloodsong1I went hunting for something to read two nights ago, as I was seriously wound up from Cuteness' diagnosis. I wanted something light-hearted and cheerful and not a romance novel I've memorized from reading it a dozen times (which is every romance novel I have). I finally decided to crack open Simple Abundance again and see if anything spoke to me.
I can now see the value of a Gratitude Journal, which felt patronizing to me two years ago. I also see the value of the Daily Dialogue, which does not always come out in here, thanks to "Maybe You Should Have Stayed Home". I still have my Comfort Drawer, which I haven't used in months. My toy box isn't a box so much as it is my collection of farming sims and my art bag. I've done a lot of decluttering and paring back in two years, there is still more to do, especially in my room. I've continued to use the Golden Mirror meditation and it has proven invaluable.
Must remember to ask SNB if he would object to sleeping under a starry canopy. If so, I can give it to Cuteness. She'll appreciate it.
I'm continuing to read Simple Abundance like a book, not a daily devotional. It's easier to pick out what speaks to me and ignore what feels patronizing that way (currently about 50/50). I'm glad to see what I found useful in those dark months of 2010 is still true. Maybe I'll find something new this time around.
Even if it's something as simple *snicker* as drinking my morning coffee out of my pretty tea cups.
