Try, Try Again

I'm fighting an uphill battle to keep my week peaceful. I suppose just the idea of "fighting" is part of the problem. Challenges abound. Why?!? Because I'm currently practicing this FS version and the universe is giving me opportunities to get better. That's an Eckhart Tolle theory -- if you ask for more patience, the universe answers by giving you more opportunities to practice patience. Moral of story -- don't ask for patience (my theory).

But I have been asking for this FS version. How can I live it now? Practice is the answer I guess.

Thanksgiving drama, wedding drama, volunteer drama. All wiggling out my creative time and what I want for balance. Trying to keep ME on the calendar this week is proving harder than I thought. Trying to keep my emotional peace is also harder than I thought.

Here's my creative project from yesterday. I managed the destroy phase but got stopped short of create phase. Instead of creating holiday delight, I made a big mess.

I'm up and ready to try again today to balance, find peace, enjoy the day, not preemptively stress about what's on the calendar. 

Can I do it? I don't have tremendous faith, but I press on looking for small victories. I'm getting off the computer to let it do an update and I'm putting on Christmas music and giving the book tree another try. 

Hike and lunch with friends. More holiday cooking. Smoothing out some drama. Maybe a better day -- choice is mine. I can't win the week, but I can look smaller for some good.

Later gators.
