Day 4 – The gift of water

Today’s affirmation:

Today I give with peace and abundance.

I woke up properly sunburnt, still a little punchy from all the sun and sea yesterday and very dehydrated. The skin on my nose is taut and I’m not looking forward to when it starts to strip. I spent most of my morning, thinking about the day’s events, writing about it…tearing up a bit about it too. Yes I’m a punk. I did however, remember to make my affirmation right after my morning prayers.

My morning spent writing and thinking was pretty fruitful despite forgetting to eat. By the time lunchtime rolled around my tummy was protesting something fierce. My sister invited Lucy and I to lunch today…so I was gonna get another curry fix for the weekend. Yes, I’ve already prepared my mind to work extra hard in the gym this week.

Trudy came to get me after 12, we had to drop off the pots from yesterday, go to the Salvation Army and drop off some clothes and shoes, then go pick up Lucy. I could tell she wasnt feeling well, the moment I sat in the car. I thought to myself, what’s the gift here? Offer to drive? No. Then what?

As we were passing a grocery for our first errand, I thought…hmmm it’s hot out, we are both dehydrated…why not get some coconut water? Now, I don’t have money to spend on coconut water, which is very expensive for an island with miles and miles of coconut trees growing freely. But I blessed the money I was about to spend and got two bottles.

Our Salvation Army errand was interesting as well. It was the last day and farewell for this Jamaican guy who is moving on to St Kitts tomorrow to go to the Salvation Army there to continue his work. He stopped his preparations to accommodate Trudy and I. He was such a warm guy.

When we picked up Lucy, she had 3 lovely Julie Mangoes each for Trudy and I.

I already know what tomorrow’s gift will be.
