Life As It Is
Making Life Work For You
... At the end of the day, we must come to terms with changing what we can and accepting what we cannot change. Sometimes the laundry piles up, a sick child demands more of our attention than usual, and we temporarily get behind with our schedule. Accepting this momentary state of affairs and trusting in our ability to get back on track when the time is right, we gracefully accept our life as it is, letting go of perfectionism and embracing life as it stands.

Sometimes the most difficult and yet most critically important thing you can do for you, is to acknowledge where you are in this moment. As imperfect as it may be in your eyes, this moment has its purpose. And you job is not to analyze it to within an inch of it's life. You job is simply to exist within the moment, do what you can and leave the rest. After all, it is just a moment. There's another one coming right up to take it's place.
I spent my entire weekend worrying. All about things I cannot directly alter, worrying about things I've done, worrying about things I will do, worrying about all the unforeseen things that may or may not happen in my life. After a weekend of worrying, I realized something.
All the worrying, did absolutely nothing. I could've spent the weekend doing something a lot more memorable.

I was there with you in spirit, because that's what I did with a large part of my weekend. Trying to get my zen-like acceptance back this morning.
This is a very rusty time of year.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I truly needed it. Read my blog "Fire on the Mountain" to see why.
Again, thank-you!
