This is the 7th in the 31 in 31 business blogging challenge. Hope you are enjoying the ride!
Sometimes I think we just try too hard. We try to do too much. It is challenging to be a human being when you are spending so much time being a human trying.
Sometimes I feel like I am failing because I am always supposed to have to have a plan with a purpose and a motive and a schedule. As much as I want to be successful and focused sometimes it just gets impossible.
So, I think Carpe Diem is overrated sometimes. Instead of seizing this day I let it seize me. I didn’t make any big decisions or try to accomplish anything beyond laundry, this blog and just saying yes and going with the flow as the day presented itself.
I said yes and had coffee and spent more time listening than talking with my husband this morning before he started working.
I said yes and had a lovely afternoon at a coffee shop with someone I just met who may end up becoming a good friend.
I said yes to a man in the coffee shop who asked if he could join us. He didn’t know us but, he didn’t know he didn’t know us. He swears I have a doppelganger named Diane in town that he was friends with. He said she was a Massage Therapist. Yes this is getting surreal.
So, I told him I was one as well and gave him a couple of my cards.
I said yes to trading out massages with another therapist I had never had the chance to trade out with and it was amazing. I am very impressed and honored to get to trade out
with them.
I said yes when they pulled out a bottle of wine, some great cheese and pretzels they brought to share for after our massages.
I am incredibly grateful for this day that seized me. There were times it was a struggle and I
had to remind myself to wait for it, go with the flow, say yes and move forward.
Every moment comes to you pregnant with divine purpose…
Once it leaves your hands and your power to do with it as you please,
It plunges into eternity, to remain forever what you made it.
~ Fulton J. Sheen
