If I throw a rock into a pond, the water has to react. It can’t NOT react. COVID threw a rock into us. It was a BIG rock. We responded. We couldn’t NOT react. And we reacted appropriately to the force and mass. Now, like water, we can return to calm. Out of that, productivity flows.
Protecting our privacy is good, they say. Still the need for it makes me sad. Nameless, if you will.
Owning a cat reduces your risk of heart attack or stroke, but don’t try to outrun them.
When we run a race, do we start at the finish line? I LOVE the movie, Groundhog Day. In fact it might be my favourite of all time, but the day? What a ridiculous idea. We can’t skip over winter to get to spring. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER NO MATTER WHAT! This is Canada, for goodness sake. Nature has to run the race. We can’t start at finish line. That’s the theme of the movie. Settle in. Take steps over and over. You’ll get there.
I’m more comforted to feel that the Great Power is not separate and apart from me, and that it lies within us all. I find that to be a more tenable position in hard times, because then there’s no questioning or pointing fingers at a force outside of ourselves.
Great post😀
Short but sweet . . . Thanks for dropping by.
Wheeee! Skiing! That used to be a family sport. Now I’m afraid I’ll break something. Hahaha!
Surrender is often a good thing, certainly better than being inflexible and breaking.
Once I heard Oprah Winfrey say that she liked the gospel song, “I Surrender All,” because it helped her cope with difficult situations.
Stay safe!
I think it helps to cope, and also maybe to let life develop in ways that might surprise us being wonderful, even thought it wasn’t what we thought we wanted.
What a beautiful location! Extra reading time can be good. Flexibility is key to enjoying a vacation.
It was absolutely gorgeous. Breathtaking in fact. I enjoyed a lot of amazing skiing, and I took two days off to sit and read and write by the fire. Perfect.
