Meditation Magic

Meditation helped. 

Not surprisingly, the truthiest-truth was something underneath the inconvenience of it all. 

I worked on that truth.

What's left is the inconvenience of it and that's a cleaner decision. 

And, maybe, it won't end up being an ask, but I don't feel as conflicted about it. Either they can keep the work off my plate or they can't. If they can, then the answer is okay. If not, the answer is not at this time. That's my conditional answer. 

No guilt if it's no. 

No upset if it's yes (or just a little upset lol).

No more compromising on my end either. 

Remembering to get quiet and ask a question in that stillness ... it helps. Often, deep down, the REAL answer is there -- even if I decide to act against it in that circumstance, honesty with myself is important. It's an informed decision, not one that's pretending.

Off to Asheville today for 5 days. I'm happy to go and worried about my garden and porch plants. It's more work than what seems reasonable to head out of town. And this is back-to-back trips month. Hawaii is the big prep. I guess it's a good practice run with less consequences working out the kinks of a new garden. The temps are cooler and we are expected to get rain on Saturday. Geez, my little green babies. Don't bolt, wither, or break on me.

Lettuce can't handle the heat -- on the verge of bolting.

Seedlings are still young from direct sow -- wither in the heat.

Tomatoes and peas are heavy -- wind is bending and breaking against the trellises during the rain.

I'll check in if I can -- depends on whether hubby gets up early (he often does in Asheville). 

Have a good one -- later gators.
