A Day At A Time

From: CW

Well, what gets me up in the morning used to be a work routine that called me. I tend to be overly committed. When I have something that I feel responsible for, I give 125%. That’s not really balanced nor good for the rest of my life. I remember my Dad’s quote when I was a little girl: “Once a job has begun, never leave it is done. Be a labor big or small, Do it right or not at all.” I think this has stayed with me my entire life.

I do not hold myself to a routine however. What is in front of me is what I focus on. My husband makes the bed and does other things for the family. I think what gets me up is to see what the day has in store. It is no longer pre-planned, which gives me a freedom to allow the Universe to enter in. I am searching for that wonderment that will take my journey on this earth to the next place. I don’t know where that is, but I do know what I don’t want: just a job for money. However, one must eat and keep a roof overhead, so there is a bind there. I have always told my children to do what they love and everything else will be provided. I am still discerning what that passion is for me now! I cannot go on aimlessly. I have been in a Dark Night of the Soul for too long now, but I am still uncertain what path to take. I guess I will just keep opening doors.

What gets me up is a long list of ToDo’s. The only real constant is change.

I think we are all where we are because of choices we have made; we can make other choices. Some choices limit future choices. There is always more than one option, though not all desireable or viable, but always more than one. And there are very few non-reversible decisions (except abortion and suicide). We change and grow if we want to. Not to decide is a decision too, a choice.
