Goodness me, it's twenty twenty three!
November already - madness!
I have learnt a few lessons this year, been through some friendships and relationship-type-ish experiences. I have had to detach myself from some people who were draining my energy and exhausting my kindness. I have also had a person I really liked, detach from myself due to my own inconsistent, passive aggressive and unclear communication. I realised I can't just react with my flippant comments and expect people to stick around.
HG is very good for reflecting and helping me see how my behaviour might affect others; my reactions and learned passive aggressiveness. It isn't hard to talk about or hear, but important to at least attempt to continue to work on oneself.
Other people I considered friends have shown a side of themselves which doesn't align with my own beliefs and values in fully supporting others in expressing, exploring and ffs just BEING. Three people now who consider themselves "Christians" have edged over into what appears to be a brain-washing, misinformed view; sometimes involving conspiracies etc. It scares me and makes me sad, as well as losing faith in my ability to choose who to trust.
Another thing I am baffled by is how many people still tell me they wish to have children. Today, we had a lay-in, some awesome s3xy time then went for a peaceful and beautiful hike, went for brunch on our way home and have enjoyed a Saturday afternoon doing basically whatever the hell we like (besides general adulting chores!). It's quiet, the cats are gorgeous and the perfect therapy after a busy week. I wouldn't wanna give that up haha! I guess each to their own but the future of the planet is looking pretty bleak so maybe consider adoption. Just sayin'. I obviously love and respect all my friends and fam who are being fantazmic parents to fun, awesome little minions! But I still don't get it.
Anyhoozle, I am in the swing of things, working at my local leisure centre... I moved from lifeguarding to the Personal Training & teaching classes. It's very fun, if tiring!
I hope that once we have a house, we can set up a gym - oooh HG has started using his work gym - once one week and twice last week! Shhh don't jinx it! :)
It'll be nice to train myself and other people in our own gym - I am manifesting!
Teaching classes is fun and it's nice when people personally thank/praise you and ask what other classes you teach. It's also really rewarding when PT clients tell you about their little wins and improvements! I also ran a park bootycamp this summer and a fitness class for some teachers after school.
I am learning dances (or should be!) for my dancepl3y instructor qualification.
We are still living in the same basement apartment - 9yrs now!
In Canada for 10!
I'll add a few pics and catcha l8r! TTFN
My friend Barbs from South Africa/UK :)
