Just like everyone else, my life is not always easy. I’m sure that comes as no surprise to most of you, but sometimes in the middle of a good run, I forget. Although you usually only see the lighter side of things on my blog, that doesn’t mean on some days my life doesn’t feel a bit craptastic. Fortunately, that feeling doesn’t last very long, but in the meantime my shoulders scrunch up to my ears and my life is quite literally a pain in the neck.
Today, however; having spent yesterday in the chaos of crappery, I have chosen to make sure that my ship stays on course or least that I remember the earth is round and I won’t sail off the end of it, like Christopher Columbus thought he might do. A friend’s blog entry was a gentle reminder that big menacing waves can sometimes pound the side of my boat and throw me off course, but not to panic, thinking life will always be rough or that there isn’t opportunity to learn from the storm.
Today’s Mantra:
Today, I will try to remember that work is just work and my life is my life. Today, I will try to live in this moment and not relive the crappery of yesterday. Today, I will rejoice in the simple things of home and nest and will try to keep my shoulders from creeping up to my ears.
Namaste
Namaste! I am so happy I found your blog! I’m adding it to my reader right now. Thanks for making such an incredibly fun time in Nirvana (ha ha; I can never resist)—it wouldn’t have been the same without you, and not just ’cause you kept us in booze. 😉
You have been on my mind because I want to search out your book to read at the beach! So nice to hear from you!
