But, I like that you don't get so hung up on worrying about every eventuality. I am trying to be a bit more like that. It seems the more I plan for every potential disaster it just makes it worse. This is something I've had to learn the hard way. I am a worrier. Can't help it but I'm trying to let go some more.Jenhttp://www.whenpigsfly.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-64083064163576070522011-06-07T09:35:53.418-04:002011-06-07T09:35:53.418-04:00Greetings Levian~

But it seems that the more I just let my life play out...the more intuned I feel to the little 'nudges' I get to move forward.<br /><br />"Tomorrow can change in the blink of an eye. I struggle more with trying to envision the future & knowing that it requires at least a modicum of thought."<br /><br />True! Tomorrow can change in the blink of an eye. And true, the future does require at least a modicum of thought. But the steps to getting there (at least they are for me) are always changing so I try to go with them, because I often don't know what's best for myself. I let the path take me.<br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts and feelings on this post.

A setting on a wash...Ha. What is 'normal'?<br />A setting on a wash machine. At least that's AS much of what I know of 'normal'.<br /><br />I love the photo. And I adore what you shared here.<br />I don't know that I consciously made the choice to take the roads I took--some, maybe... Other's got narrowed down for me and it was a good shove and a "TAKE THE DAMN ROAD ALREADY!!". I can guarantee that they weren't all smooth roads. And they weren't necessarily 'fun' roads--chalked full of potholes and speedbumps. I needed to travel the roads I traveled.<br />They brought me to 'here'--which is a really cool place.<br /><br />Living in NOW, TODAY, the present--an acquired practice for me. I learned that one. I was busy living in yesterday and tomorrow. I wasn't real willing to look at what was right in front of me and find some gratitude for it.<br />But I got there (another bumpy road to GET me there, but I got there).<br /><br />I appreciate every smooth piece of the road that I get to walk. I've also learned to appreciate whatever's under my feet today, speedbumps/potholes/detours and all.<br /><br />Doesn't mean I don't want the easier path sometimes.

"Plan for the future." and "Set goals for yourself" may be what the <i>"societal norm"</i> says to do, but I've seen that norm be mistaken on more than one occasion.<br /><br />Heck, I even follow that mantra for the most part, but that certainly doesn't mean it's a fit for everyone. I find that even the best laid plans get interrupted by what life throws in my direction. <br /><br />Maybe it's just a "grass is always greener" type of thing.
