Today I began decluttering my clothes closet. I moved my winter coats back down to the main floor and hung them in the coat closet by the front door. I packed up a couple of jackets and some clothes I know longer wear. I also grabbed the clean clothes from Dennis' laundry basket and put them in a box to donate. I'm not done with going through all my clothes. This may take a few days.

I'm still in a lot of pain and having problems walking and doing stairs. It's been six weeks!


Today's Daily Affirmations
* I am in awe of how much joy and abundance is coming into my life.
* My decisions are rooted in wisdom.
* I believe in a better future.
* Everything comes to me at exactly the right time.
* I make each day count.
* Life is always worth living.
* I unlock my inner strength.
* It’s possible for me to live a joyful life.

Today's Journal 

I decided to get back to decluttering. I did Day 7 of the 30-Day Organizing Bootcamp. 
I took everything out of the cupboard. Washed the shelf and the sides. Then I put white sticky shelf liner down, organized all the cleaning supplies, got rid of a few items, and then put it all back again. 



Afterwards, I noticed that there was a voice message on the landline phone that I had not listened to yet. Apparently the message was left at 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning. It was from Kirkpatrick monuments letting me know that the headstone has been engraved and installed at the cemetery. 

Oh my God. I had no idea. If I had listened to the message yesterday morning I would have definitely gone to see it yesterday and I know that John and Lise would have liked to have come with me to see it as well. 

I designed the front of this headstone and Dennis had hoped that he would live long enough to see it in person. I hope somehow he can. 🙏 

I called Wendy and asked her to come with me and Tickles. We went for a walk first and then we ended up at the headstone. It turned out beautiful. I know Dennis isn't actually buried there yet but it still was emotional to see our names on a stone in the cemetery.




Today's Daily Affirmations
* I am becoming more attentive to my emotions.
* I am learning a lot from my emotions.
* I am free from all self-judgments.
* I observe everything with curiosity.
* I accept the opportunity to rediscover myself.
* I maintain unwavering faith in the beauty of life’s journey.
* I allow my breath to flow naturally.
* I am undergoing a process of healing and renewal.

8:00 am - appointment with dental hygienist to have my teeth cleaned. The last time I was 10 months ago, on December 14, 2023. 

Earlier this year I missed a dental appointment because it fell on the same day that Dennis had an immunotherapy treatment and I had to cancel it and somehow never rescheduled it. 

Today, the dental bill came to $192.85 but my portion of it only cost me $21.00. The new government dental plan for low incomers covered the rest. Thank goodness.


Today's Daily Affirmations
* I have the opportunity to fully relax.
* I am perfectly capable of pushing through adversity.
* My days are filled with love and happiness.
* I am grateful for the support and love in my life.
* I can seamlessly transition into a new phase of my life.
* I am in a tranquil state.
* I let go of the need to control everything.
