And the Adventure Continues...

...or perhaps I just keep learning!

I am learning to accept that life just keeps happening, regardless of what I say that I want. The only control that I have in these situations is over what I think about what is going on...what it boils down to is the only problems that I have are simply between my own two ears! Perception, perception, perception.

And since I do have a life and since things just keep on showing up, the only thing that I can do is learn to accept What Is and then change my own mind about it. The amazing thing is that when I do this...things tend to change and change quickly.

One of the issues that I have going on right now is making time for all the things that I have on my to-do list. For a while, I was waiting for my kids to help me (yeah, right!). Then, I started waiting for my schedule to shift or calm down to support me in doing what I need to do at home. Not happening either. So, the only thing left to me is to change how I am looking at this issue and tackle things differently. My irritation is driving this new desire for something different and for now, I am going to use this as my tool to focus my intentions. :)

But I really think that I better keep a stash of chocolate available for a really bad day! :) I plan to give myself permission to say my favorite swear word as needed, for stress relief! :)

Living in openness and surrendering to What Is is challenging sometimes. It pushes me to my edges. When you play with your edges, sometimes you fall. Falling is okay. I guess this is just one of those times. And that is okay. I am finding my balance, finding my way.

Life is Good and Very Good.

Be Well.
