Early to bed, early to rise. To pouring down rain that is. I mean pouring. I woke to the rain and didn’t want to get out of bed. Monday morning, rain, too much to do – what was my motivation? I looked over at the door to where the Smiley face was hanging and had to smile myself.
Loca stood nose to window for most of the morning while I waited for a break in the action to get them outside. It came quickly, and just as quickly was gone. In the meantime, I made my cay tea and ate a bowl of oatmeal.
Today a list of things to do, but first I started with an acceptance that some things are what they are and I cannot will them, think them, reconsider them into something else. If I accept at face value that these things have happened, then I can go forward. It’s the holding onto the “ifs” that keep me from progress. I accept that.
In the face of all the things that could have happened differently over the course of 2007 – things happened the way they did – and I accept that and am finished with them.
Doors close, others open – such is the way of the world, Grasshopper.
