747 MORE ABOUT EXPANDING VALUES, SHIFTING PRIORITIES AND PERSONAL GROWTH :)

I set a high value on orderliness and organization
Generally when returning from a trip, I unpack, immediately
Yesterday that was not so ...
Why?
Though my value remains constant
My priority shifted to spending time with son
Who also flew home to celebrate his birthday :)

I set a high value on preparedness
Generally when welcoming guests, I prepare refreshments
Yesterday, that was not so
Why?
Though my value remains constant
My priority shifted to flying home, enjoying my son and
Welcoming friends and family—feeling relaxed :)

I set a high value on being the hostess with the mostest
Yesterday, I consciously chose to honor another value
This value nurtures peace of mind
If asked to name this value, I'd say ...
I've come to set a high value on personal growth
With personal growth, I've learned to
Embrace expanded comfort zones that allow me to relax :)

Since I've come to set a high value on peace of mind ...
Yesterday, this orderly, organized person did not unpack, yet felt at ease
Yesterday the hostess with the mostest arrived home from the airport ...
Enjoyed son, welcomed guests, ordered out, and felt at ease
And because my change in attitude offered me reason to relax
My son and guests—feeling warmly welcomed and
Deeply cared for—felt utterly relaxed, as well :)

Today, I'll unpack and re-organize while my son sleeps in
Today, I'll enjoy whatever time my son prioritizes to spend with me
Today, I'll exercise in my hot tub
Today, I'll continue to re-prioritize expanded values that nourish my spirit :)
Today, I've chosen to write a post, exemplifying my connection to Personal Growth
Which expands my values and comfort zones, thus offering my mind reason to relax :)
What I'll not do, today, is give myself or anyone else a hard time :)
