Gratitude # 44

[From my local paper, via Eugenia Last] SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A change of location will enable you greater mobility for travel, learning and applying what you know to something that can be quite lucrative. A lifestyle change will do more than just alter your direction — it will bring you clarity and peace of mind. 3 stars

How convenient — I happen to be working on lifestyles changes that I was hoping would alter my direction and bring me clarity and peace of mind. I realized today that I’ve been doing it all wrong. “Baby steps” means just that: baby steps! I have this ridiculous notion that I must find a quick fix that will transform everything overnight. Of course, reviewing what Marla Cilley says through her FlyLady persona, it didn’t get this way overnight, and it won’t get fixed overnight either. (I paraphased that as best as I could.) I am grateful to realize that I need to just slow down, pick out one little thing at a time, and go from there.

Might I also add that I am extremely grateful that I somehow managed to survive today. Last night, our sweet little bumble bee determined that it was the wakeful time of the day. It’s no wonder they deprive prisoners of sleep to torture secrets out of them. I thank coffee and tea for giving me the caffeine necessary to function as a coherent member of society today.

  1. I know. I’m impatient, too. I want this life I think I’m supposed to have already. Nothing is going the way it is supposed to. And I don’t think I’m ever going to have what I want most in this world, relationship wise. I don’t think it’s ever going to be what I want even if he does figure it out. Sad trying to get over it.

    Time. It’ll take time.
