Yesterday I awakened to good news. I woke up. I am grateful for that. Then I read a blog post by Karen Walrond over at http://www.chookooloonks.com/
My house was cleaned top to bottom today. I continue taking steps to emulate aspects of the homes of a couple of friends whose environments are ordered in a way I find comforting and instructive for this period of my life. I need more order in my life in order to move to the next step. Order is necessary. Even for a creative.
I sat in my office today. It doesn’t sound like much but it was a very big deal for me. For the past 5 or 6 years I have been working all over my house but NOT in my office. I also kept my promise to myself and walked today. These are small things but they are my things. And that is the reason they are important.
I am starting a project called “Stuck in your Story.” Don’t these words evoke an ‘aha’ moment. I can’t remember exactly what happened but I heard myself respond to someone with an explanation I have repeated for too long. The image that popped into my head was a lab rat on a treadmill. And I checked myself. I paused to get the message and reminded myself to listen to what I I was saying. For I do not want to be stuck in my story.
Are you stuck in your story? I am genuinely interested in knowing whether you’ve experienced this. Please leave me a thoughtful response in the comment section. Thank you.
