It is…Sunday, February 15, Two-Thousand and Twenty-Fix. Time...Deceiving

Theme – The Great Purge

 I've been looking at the patterns and trends in my life recently. I noticed that a lot of stuff is...I don't know the word I'm searching for - being eliminated, being cleaned and cleared up? This is The Chalet, to the storage unit, to files and folders on devices and the cloud. It's a long, tedious, seemingly unimportant process. But, I have embraced it. For over 20 years my life has been chaotic. It has been hurried and Harried, It has been packed up, moved about, tossed around. It has been stripped bare and overly replenished more times than I can count. Things are just a mess. My life is at a point when I can say "Fuck it" and just do the deed.

Lesson – Do Less, Have More

 This was my very first Principle ever. [It was also the first one to fade into oblivion under the distractions of life.] I found it as part of an ad in/for the magazine Real Simple when it first came out. The picture was a basset hound laying on a sofa. These were the words. It made sense instantly. I have been seeing it recently. Nothing is going quite the way I project and plan - especially working. It's had me a little stressed. It's all been working out along the way but one tends to worry. Anyway, I have been off the road more than I have been on lately, even when I've planned to be on. Yet, it's still all working out in projections. In fact it gets a lil better each month. And, I find I have more time to do other things, including ,and especially, relax.

Observation – Make It So

 I had a conversation this week about procrastination - of sorts. Mostly. I guess. It was just he said he knows something needs to be done and he may even see an opportunity to do it but he tends to wait until the last minute. This causes him problems. This is something with which I am familiar. I just recently struggled with it. I asked him if he tried To-Do lists. Affirmative but they don't help. I've been there, too. It's easy to say you have to just make the choice to do it. Making the choice is more difficult...at least until you re-program yourself [and this could take some time.] I go through cycles. I am currently on an upswing. My first step is making sure that the moment I think of something it goes on the list. This is a large part of it. Usually, I think, "oh yeah I can do that." Then I just tuck the thought away and forget about it. Putting it on a list keeps freshly rotating in my mind. The next step is looking for moments. Not for big tasks but smaller, almost inconsequential things. When I get restless working on something - this blog, for instance - I will ask myself what I can take a moment to do. I find, in doing this, the big things end up happening along the way. For example, today I finished my big cleaning. I had not planned for it, nor I had I really even considered it. Yet, as I piddled through my moments, it found its way. As a bonus - the lists humor my OCD while the moments entertain my ADHD. So, overall, I remain fairly balanced.

The Post

 It is Saturday evening as I sit to start this. It has been an odd week and I am feeling quite off at the moment.

I awoke to a sore lower back. At first, I thought maybe I just slept funny. But it has lingered all day. It's a strange kind of sore. Honestly, I have thought several times today, "that feels like an acid back." It's just tender. Every lil move I feel it. It's not like a pain, just a lil "oooh." feels like the release during a massage.

As it has lingered I have noticed that my head is a lil off as well. I'm just not clear.

It's all good.

I'll take it.

Ever since my death there has been a constant and consistent stress. I've tried to beat it, conquer it, master it. I have always lost and it only ever seems to get stronger. The course of my life for the past 15 months has forced me to slow down and let it go.

You Will be Broken Down to Nothing to be Built Up Stronger

The more I let it all happen, the better I feel and the more balanced the whole of my life has seemed to balance out. Not just time and finances. It's all areas. And I keep getting 'The Call' to slow down even more - worry even less.

I see small improvements.

Finances is a good example.

Finances have always been a foe to me. The whole of my life - no matter what I've been doing, nor how much I've been making - I have struggled with money. [Self-Worth Issues.] I have tried to save and plan. I have dreamed of investing. It has never panned out.

But, despite all of my recent trials and tribulations I am seeing small improvements.

I've got little stashes forming here and there. Nothing significant, but for the first time in my life I am able to stash some aside and actually keep it. Meanwhile, I am getting things I need and/or want - such as the vacuum, or the LED lights...or the staple gun/staples. Nothing big, nor expensive. Just what I need to keep getting the job done [better] and what I want to make myself fell more balanced. All the while, I am keeping up with my current and pending bills and obligations.

I still have a long way to go, but Every Step is a Step in the Right Direction.

Overall I am content with how I see things shifting and developing. It is a slow and steady pace I am on, but it is working. My life is fuller and more abundant than it has been in a long time. I am more relaxed and content.

I feel like there was much more I wanted to say, but it has left me now.

Maybe next time.
