Oh the sublime joy and satisfaction of a completed To Do list.  The act of ticking off each task meaning you are one step closer to finishing a project, getting work done and being able to sit back and relax guilt free.  It’s no secret on this blog that I love it!  I confess that my To Do list usually has a couple of tasks left over each day so a totally completed list is a great feeling.

Right now, that means we are just waiting on parcels to finish up preparations for Girly’s Naming and I feel like I should be more stressed.  Getting the lovely K to cater the food for me was a great idea.  I’m relaxed and ready to enjoy my day on Saturday.  I decided to delegate and it is paying off.  I gave up control of the food and the ceremony as well and I’m so glad I did.  It hasn’t been easy to stand back and trust others to do something so important to me but I’m truly glad I did.

It has also given me the courage to step out of my comfort zone in other areas.  Today, I found out about a local choir that meets weekly and I contacted the Musical Director for more information.  I will be joining this choir after Easter.  I feel nervous but I can do this.  I’m gaining the confidence to sing in front of friends because I feel like it.  This is a huge step forward me and I’m so happy about it.

I also received a piece of mail today that has set me on a new course.  I used to be a Direct Seller for Phoenix Trading which sell birthday cards and stationary.  I’ve got a deep love of stationary and I had been toying with the idea of taking up selling again.  I learned today that the start up packs have changed and that various new things to help have been introduced.  It felt right so I contacted by old upline and while we were chatted an email popped into her inbox about new traders.  The Universe was clearly leaving hints so I jumped in.  I already have more ideas about how to make it work than I did for the whole time I traded last time.  I feel so good and I feel like I’m hitting reset to a happy time.

Happiness is… Stepping out of my comfort zone and reaping the rewards.
