Good Morning Everyone!
Permalink  

Just sat here reading some post this morning... Wow, someone else asked for support and I read the replies to them and it supported me!  What a great way to start this day!

Things are going well on my end for the most part.  Nothing is happening outside of the space of the imaginary whoola hoop around my waist that I need to pay much attention to.  (If its further from me than the hoop can reach, its not my business) Now inside my head, at the core of my heart... now that is a different story.  I wish I could figure out how to detach with love from my own brain!  LOL  

Projecting, reflecting, anticipating... waiting.  Gosh, being me is like a full time job sometimes.  I think I should be getting a benefit package with dental insurance that also includes a 401k plan, for all the work I do in my head!  LOL

I am thankful that I only have to get through One Day At A Time, and most of what I struggle with does not require a decision from me today.  I just to need to simply turn MY life and MY will over to the care of God, as I understand Him... and get on to the next thing of importance to me.  I don't need to stay stuck in that stuff which isn't any of my business anyways!  Today I am grateful that I at least realize when I am slipping into my "Mr. Fix It" mode and getting ready to mingle in things that aren't mine to mingle with.  

I have had my coffee, and getting ready to go start a good day of work... and I'm not going to entertain all the insanity that wants to dominate the space between my ears today.  I'm going to Let Go, and Let God....

John

I don't have the benefits package and insurance and 401K either John...what works well for me is quiet time with the literature...ODAAT, C2C and HOPE 4.2.DAY.  Sit read turn off the news and put the newspaper in the trash.  The quiet time is where God exist for me so that is where I should be.    Have a better one.   ((((hugs)))) smile

Thanks for your post, John. I love the concept of the imaginary hula hoop. Truly, please don't skimp on the vacation aspects of the benefit package... especially for the insanity entertainment committee!!! I hope the rest of your day brings all good blessings.
