Now that the day is closing down, there are a few more from the 18th to share. Not so much anything specific. Just the sense.
There are times when things happen – but not right, misunderstandings occur, plans disintegrate, work goes for naught, you don’t like where you’re at, ad infinitum. Trying moments for sure. Designated to test, elicit a response and create an outcome.
Had some of those the 16th, into the 17th and then on into today. Frustrating to say the least. Not in the best position to be tested. Wasn’t part of my plan. The mettle was deficient. But I stayed put. And even though I hadn’t studied, I took them.
Not so much by answering the challenges they posed, by trying something different, planning in and all around it, trying to figure the root cause or engaging in some form of life’s trials dissection.
No, this time, I just stayed put. In the moment. And let things happen.
Time moved. But I tempered the usual frenzy within and staid still.
I sensed movement. More time was allowed to pass.
I remained still. Quiet. Things changed a little more. Stress lessened.
More time? Issues dissipated. Mood altered. New outlook.
Still more time?
Whoa.. Where am I? How did this happen?
Wait!
This is great!
So much to be learned from simply letting go.
And letting life’s best partner take care of things.
It all started with the gift of today.
And just when you think it cannot get better?
It does.
...my temporary assignment.
