Day 106 November 18, 2010


Are you having a good day?  I hope so.  More likely, something didn’t go as planned today, or something could have been more to your liking. 

Every job I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many, had at least one part that I didn’t like.  The trick is to just accept that.  Yes I did leave jobs that weren’t working out too well and then I stayed at jobs when they did.  But still, nothing was ever perfect

Sounds like life. 

What do you see in this photo I’ve posted today?  An old farm, bleak, worn out, spare?   The people who lived there didn’t do much in the way of landscaping.  They were probably just too busy farming to worry about fussing with flower and trees.  Too busy cutting firewood, hauling water, clearing the fields, and making do, or as my mother used to say, living hand to mouth.  You get the feeling that there wasn’t much time for extras on this farm.

Well, when you have a day like that yourself, when there just isn’t time for extras, just shelve that ‘to do’ list you’ve created.  Just make do.  Eat lightly, without much fuss.  Rest.  Drink lots of liquids.  Just persevere.  Settle into yourself.  Read a good book.  Or listen to music.  Walk in nature, unless it’s nature that’s the challenge, like the kind of day when you lose your house due to a flood. 

Settle as much as you can, wherever you can.  And just make do.
