Esther's dream is such a lovely story, isn't it? 
Hope you've been having a wonderful day too!
Day 18:
APPRECIATION
I like how aligned I was when I accidentally ordered the "wrong" sized item, and it turned out to be the perfect size!
I appreciate that I had the revelation for ways to eat more healthfully. It feels like a bit of a breakthrough! It feels like discovery and expansion. It makes me feel more empowered; more in control; with more of a choice. I like feeling like I have healthy options to choose from : ) I like feeling like I'm caring for myself well, and treating myself with love and respect when I choose healthy options.
(And of course I also love showing myself love and respect by allowing the joy of some treats occasionally too )
I appreciate he was so sweet that he gave me his spare mouse for my computer.
I love how he always wants to help and has solutions and ideas I didn't know existed! I love how talking to him is so stimulating and expanding for me. I love how he knows so so so much! I love that I can ask him anything and he probably knows the answer!
I so appreciate his in-depthness in all matters. I so appreciate his curiosity; his desire to know stuff; to learn stuff; to understand stuff. I love that we can be playful and silly together too I'm so happy he's part of my life 
I appreciate that I took the time for some quiet quality time together today. Just some time to "be" together rather than to "do". It felt important to take a breath, slow down, and allow this togetherness without expecting much from it other than "being together". It felt like a growth in awareness; it felt expansive; it felt deliberate and therefore empowering.
I liked our chat together. I liked the revelation that I like to be allowed to be in an uninterrupted state of focus at times - and that I don't need to feel guilty about this! It's ok to focus and not always desire to give your attention to others precisely when they want it if it's not an appropriate time for me. This doesn't make me unloving, unfriendly or mean. And selfishness doesn't really come into it either because THEIR demands for attention are serving them, and my demands for personal-time are serving me, so we're all equal on the "tending to ourselves" scale! I'm allowed to have boundaries. And I can tend to my loved ones at a later time and still give them the love, focus, attention and help they deserve when it is more appropriate for me. That way everyone can feel good, respected and tended to
I liked the revelation that he already allows himself uninterrupted focus - and feels zero guilt about it - and I don't see him as "mean". I understand he just like to focus, and I know he'll be available to me at a later time - and I love and accept him as he is. So perhaps people can be understanding of me that way too
I am where I am and that's ok
Hope you've been having a wonderful day too!
