Weekly Journaling Prompts

And Kitten Updates

Krispy learning from Mama Cheesecake

Happy Monday!

The kittens are growing up so quickly, and each Monday brings me closer to the end of this never ending school year and to the beginning of my next chapter with kittens. We have decided on our second kitten. We will be adopting the badger baby: Frances. Name changes are coming. I was sort of adamant about Arnold and Gerald from Hey Arnold! but Abbott and Costello fit these babies better. An official name announcement will be coming in June.

This past week I have felt so burnt out and unmotivated to get my posts up on IG. Thankfully, the algorithm is so messed up that no one plans on seeing anything anyone posts anymore 🫠 Seeing the kittens two days in a row and then having bonding time at happy hour with some friends definitely helped my heart recover from some of the torment of working.

1. When you hit a depressive episode or a dopamine crash (they feel very similar), what is something you do that help you get back into the flow of life?

Frances comes home on 6/18. I am absolutely smitten!

2. What is holding you back from taking the steps you need to take for that thing you want?

3. What personality trait(s) do you use as your thorn(s), shield(s) for keeping people out?

Staaahhhhp!

4. Where do you feel most at peace? Where do you feel anxious and detached from yourself?

   

   This is Romeo, resident lover boy and jealous-of-the-kittens boy. Not dad!

   5. How do your natal transits affect your life? If you go back and look at the dates of the slower moving planets, what patterns do you see in your Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn returns?

6. What does forgiveness mean to you? What does it feel like? Have you ever experienced it? If not, is it something you desire to experience?

Fluffy out here being the cutest angel.

7. What have you sacrificed for others? How have you felt within that sacrifice? Is there any lingering resentment? How can you piece yourself back together from this sacrifice?

Thank you for putting up with the kitten spam. I wish I could say I am sorry, but alas, I am not. Kittens bring me such joy. How are YOU doing? How was this week for you?

Wishing you well this week! May your life offer what you need in this moment.

With love,
