Current mood:thoughtful
Today I was musing on changes. About two years ago, I had purchased a book entitled "Say Yes to Change!" Mostly it was about letting yourself be open enough, to have dreams and desires, and then taking steps in the right directions, to get those changes jump started. And ... that's pretty much what I did.... I started with steps; they were small, but they were forward thinking. Even packing up things I wasn't using at the time, was small steps. It let the Universe know that I was ready, preparing for steps, and life-changes. And yes, my life sure did change! (It took some time for it all to fall into place, though!) Tonight, as I was reading in another book, I found this quote:
"A Newborn chick doesn't know it's alive
until its world begins to crumble.
What seems like the collapse of your universe
may be just an exciting beginning."
And I thought, yes! That's exactly how it felt at times. Things were crumbling, not seeming as if it were going to be the way I was hoping. But ... persevere! When things seem to be falling apart, spinning out of control, or totally crumbling, it may be a part of the changes you've been wanting to make! Don't lose hope!
Rocking Chair - Feb 28, 2008
Current mood:breezy
I was trying to think up an interesting topic for a blog today .... and there just doesn't seem much to share. I spent the day at work doing nothing of interest, just opening freight .... what seemed like three weeks worth of freight! I'm the kind who loves a challenge, but I wonder at times what I got myself into! Guess all that tedious work numbed my brain from thinking of something bright to share. But here's a thought for today:
Worry is like a rocking chair.
You may feel like you're doing something,
but it won't get you anywhere.
Sometimes, we seem to worry about things - and no matter how much we worry, we can't change the outcome. Like me, sometimes I find myself waking up in the middle of the night, worried about something at work. (yeah, sick huh?) and it doesn't matter what I'm worrying about it, it won't change a thing. Sometimes there are worries that are OK ... when a friend is sick (Get Well Soon Cathy!!) or when a friend is blue (hugz Rob!) and of course, we worry about our families, and that everything will be OK with them.
But if worry is getting in the way of you living your life, then its time to put your worries on a shelf. Take each one down for a specific amount of time, do a little worrying, then set it back on the shelf. It's not always easy. But if you spend your evening doing a lot of worrying, are you missing out on some important piece of life with your family?? Is what you're worrying about worth it? Some of you will answer "Yes!" for some of your worries. And that's understandable. Just be more aware of what your mind is worrying about, and let some of it go if you can.
