Day 2 - 255 -- Trying to Get it all In Order

I woke earlier than usual today and seemed to hit the ground running <smile>. I had my list of things that needed to be done this weekend and began with this. By early afternoon all that I'd expected to knock off the list had been done. So -- I took a deep breath and jumped in to a couple decisions -- smaller ones so only jumped into the shallow end there. A couple huge actions have been hanging over my head for a while but those will require jumping into the middle of the ocean -- even the deep end of the pool analogy won't cover these. My self talk today seemed to settle on the need to get it together so that I can move past these decisions and keep moving forward.

It often seems simple to ignore the difficult parts of life -- just pretend they aren't there and convince yourself you are moving forward, when really you are just in a type of denial. The illusion of moving forward is really just you going in a big circle. It always comes back around to that stumbling block. Now, circular motion doesn't have to be counter-productive, but unless you begin to address some of the things impeding your path, you can't truly move up the spiral of those circles of life. So, maybe by addressing the difficulty in small decisions -- and seeing there may be a link with the larger boulders in the road -- can move the journey up to the next  level of the spiral. It's worth a try.

The selection for today addresses the need to move forward and continue down the road. While the lyrics provide advice, the rhythm is relaxing, making the advice less harsh and perhaps opening one's mind a bit. Enjoy!
