Day 6 - 297 -- Tackling Difficult Tasks

Today was a busy day. The sun was less intense than previous days with major cloud appearing into the night. I got two major tasks begun today. The yard tree care that needed attention after Dorian and another task got through step one or even one-and-one-half. Two people encountered were very helpful and one may be instrumental in completing both activities! Too cool. So -- good news on those fronts. Now to tackle the next two biggies -- much of which is out of my hands at present. So we wait.

Change brings anxiety and each of these four tasks will bring change. Anxiety can be part of working through a change. Much as I'd like to be a flexible, go-with-the-flow person, I do like routine -- learned that from the cats in my life maybe <smile>. It feels safe and secure to know what will occur next. It does offer a false sense of control, though. Weather, health, flat tire or power outage and all the 'plans' (routines) run through your fingers. Time flies by as we are stuck in a routine that may not get us to the many things we want to do that need that time -- or we may be just in long-term avoidance mode. Either way, it takes effort to move out of comfort and complacency and into active mode.

Lyrics of a song cover the ideas of time passing by and how we may miss time to do important things. I love the melody and harmony of this song. Enjoy!
