Despite great plans to get myself scheduled and settled, it’s ten days into the new year already and well, as they say… ‘the best laid plans…’.
To be fair, I have scheduled myself and made multiple attempts to stick to it. The problem is life and others in my life do not seem to understand or follow my schedule! π€ͺ π€·π½ββοΈ Surprise! Ha! π
Really, it is fine. Although I have set the goal to not let others run my life at the expense of myself, I do accept that I do not live on my own little island nor in my own little space – though I admit that it would be nice on more than one occasion. π¬π¬
So, I write this post from France. I came for a week to catch up with friends and then also do some kid-watching duties for a few days. It has given me a chance to take a little break from the norms of home as I’ve been able to sleep in or wake up peacefully. Plus, it is always warming of the heart to see friends. β€οΈ
On the downside, I have to really find discipline to ensure I get work done since that has picked up lately and also be balanced with the socializing. Each day is an act of adjustment and acceptance that flexibility is an art of breath and flow. ππ½π§π½ββοΈ
On the whole, though, I am at peace. While I may be a bit slow on the writing or getting to the projects I have laid out for myself, the truth is that they are just my own for myself. Thus, I can be flexible. I can adjust. I can and I will and I am.
This is 2023 so far and I am enjoying it fully!
