Much as I enjoy writing this blog, I guess it's not as much a part of my daily routine as I thought. I remembered this morning as I was getting ready for the gym. So here I sit with my frozen grapes, mulling over yesterday.
Yesterday I was divine serenity. Another version of divine acceptance. In the words of the serenity prayer "to accept the things I cannot change".
I am a planner. I like to plan. I like to write to do lists (remember, theory and practice are two different things. Just because I write things down doesn't mean they get done). I like to schedule. I am flexible enough to have leaway in my plans. I plan for contigencies. Disruptions to my plans don't bother me too much.
It's little things that irritate me. I hate repeating myself. It frustrates me to no end. While I try to be flexible. it does bother me when even my contigency plans fall through.
Divine Serenity is making me step back and try to go with the flow.
Yesterday was a bad day for having to repeat myself. Just took big breaths.
Last night, Andy called and said he would be a little late for dinner - he figured it would be about 6. At 6:30 I had dinner ready. At 7 I decided to eat anyway. I put Andy's dinner in the fridge. It's not like we had plans, so I just reminded myself it was no big deal. At 7:30. I decided to go sit out front with a book, and wait for Andy on the front porch. A spur of the moment, go with the flow decision made for a lovely evening. It was cool last night, a light breeze, lots of birds flying around. I got 6 chapters a of a new book read. I only came in because my butt fell asleep. Andy finally made it home at 8:45. But he came home to a dinner waiting for him, and a calm and relaxed wife. Serenity.
