My
idea of a perfect weekend is one with no plans whatsoever. I much prefer to go
with the flow, letting serendipity run its course.
On
the other hand, my natural inclination to do nothing means that I miss out on
experiences that I would probably enjoy.
There
is a space between sloth and overwhelmed by obligations. I would like to
inhabit that space a little more comfortably.
It
would probably help if I didn’t give everything the stink eye. Girls’ Night
Out? Too much trouble. Symphony? Too much trouble. Yoga once a week? Too much
trouble.
This
week I’m making plans & participating in life. I did (modified for decrepit
individuals) yoga on Monday. Dr. M & I are attending a symphony performance
on Sunday. And, well, I’m skipping Girls’ Night Out but it’s because I’m
participating in a church meeting instead.
See?
That wasn’t so bad – I can make
plans. I’ll probably need a week to recuperate, but baby steps people! Baby
steps!
Sometimes we need to be pulled kicking and screaming out of our comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like me! I fully sympathize.
ReplyDeleteah the best laid plans of mice...
ReplyDeleteplans are good to have at a high level, a general thing to be aiming for - but they need the flexibility at the low level to go with the flow
btw - if you were thinking that the first sentence should have ended ...and men, then i think you'll find that the mice have very strong feelings on the issue :)
You got a lot of P's in there!
ReplyDeleteI was told if I am striving to be a mature human, I need balance !
I try not to project ( feelings
get stretched) I enjoy spontaneous
and offset that with contributing
something productive...Heehee.
LOL Izzy - that was totally unintentional!
ReplyDeleteThere is a space between sloth and overwhelmed by obligations. I would like to inhabit that space a little more comfortably. This is ME! Hope your week gives you lots of gratification.
ReplyDeleteI don't like for my dance card to be too full, either. Doing that leaves too little time for knitting. That said, I have to squeeze in Full Moon Movie Night sometime this weekend. Will it be Eddie Murphy or Leonardo DiCaprio? Decisions, decisions.
ReplyDeleteWhile I like Leo quite a bit, I think I'd have to go with Eddie - more my kind of movie :)
