Seeing what is right there ...
Permalink  
 

Recently I was turning a problem over in my mind.  It was an unavoidable problem, but it brought up a pretty big challenge that in my past I would have gotten so stressed about it would make me sick.  Now I am not making myself sick.  I turn it over in my mind, look at all the options, the outcome doesn't seem to promising but there is nothing I can do.  Find the best path through that will cause the least damage.  Do my best and move on.  It is so nice not to suffer the upset stomachs, headaches, skin problems and everything else stress used to cause me.  I am going to come out the other side, I am not going to die, nothing horrible is going to happen, there is nothing that says I have to be perfect.  Things are just what they are.

I decide to set it aside for a while and then I look to the right and was shown exactly how small my problems truly are.  Plus the added bonus of a new place to visit on my bucket list.  Seems these things are put into my life at the perfect time - all I have to do is be open to them and listen to the message.

Well, there is always room for improvement.  I guess I should not assume there is going to be a problem, just leave the possibility and plans just in case.  I obviously need to leave the possibility of success in there as well and I seemed to be missing that in this round.  It was an absolutely fantastic time, great success, finished early so now I have an afternoon and full morning of sight seeing planned. 

From my favorite morning activity, reading Mr Sponsorpants blog, of course it is all about timing and strange how it works out.  This was yesterday's post:

Just for today,

(well, maybe just for this morning, let's not get carried away)

I can decide only to address what is actually happening,

rather than

what I think is going to happen.

And in so doing, I can start the day

not with an impending sense of dread,

but with the promise of (at the very least)

a positive outlook

and a lack of

manufactured

mental

drama.
