In My Heart Era

Well, here we are.

Fresh off snow squalls and violent winds.

Mother Nature is off her rocker.

And this is post number 255!

And Easter is only 3 weeks away!

Which means Christmas 2024 is tomorrow!

KIDDING!

But it certainly feels like it could be tomorrow.

Anyhoo, on to this week’s post.

While I wouldn’t consider myself a “swiftie” by any means, I do like using the era language because it is trendy.

I’m in my get a summer bod era.

I’m in my eat ice cream from the tub era.

I’m in my cuddle in a blanket era.

I’m in my hang out with supportive, fun friends era.

I’m in my watching The Golden Girls era.

You get the picture.

Right now though, I feel like I’m in the most important era of my life.

I’m in my heart era.

Each week, when I have my video call with Ryan, he asks me the following question:

“How are matters of the heart?”

It’s not a question that I really gave much thought to before starting my work with Ryan, but now it is a question that I deeply think about constantly.

Where are my matters of the heart at the moment?

Currently, as I type this, the matters of my heart are feeling pretty happy as I sit here watching reruns of Who’s the Boss which make me smile and laugh.

When I look at the state of the world around us, the matters of my heart get sad.

It is an election year and I don’t care what political party you affiliate with, but the state of the Country and our Government is something that makes me sad, mad, and every other emotion in between.

Watching clips from the State of the Union and how people treat the individual in charge of our Country (again regardless of whether you support Biden or not) is embarrassing.

Embarrassing.

The full-time job has had some really busy moments recently and it has made matters of the heart stressful.

And when matters of the heart are stressful, I step back and listen to what my heart needs to become un-stressed.

This is where all my other eras come into play.

My get a summer bod era.

My eat ice cream from the tub era.

My cuddle in a blanket era.

My hang out with supportive, fun friends era.

My watching The Golden Girls era.

How are your matters of the heart?

Step back and ask yourself that question and give it some space to give it deep thought.

If your matters of the heart are not in a good spot, what will you do to help get them to a good spot?

How are your matters of the heart?

If we were on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, this would be the million dollar question.

Sprinkle sunshine always,

JP!
