part of the process
A frustrating day for me yesterday.
To recall the details is to repeat the aggravation that resulted in failure.
I’ve been working on a project, or process, that involves learning a new style; reworking what I know into something new. Learning is important; something new is inspiring
I’ve been proceeding on this path for weeks now, learning as I go. My understanding is limited and can only be strengthened by trying to comprehend the little details as I embark on this process.
Yesterday I felt I was stalled, even moving in reverse. The things I thought I had soaked in were not coming back to me no matter how I tried.
Instead, in the confusion of it all, I simply gave up
There comes a time when you begin to believe you are wasting your time. I knew I was not but felt, then, that I was. The learning curve seemed to be moving in the wrong direction.
I thought, then, the best direction was to stop.
I will not let this get me down; I’m not good with failure.
I will go back at it this week with fresh eyes and new intent and try to make progress a better part of the process.

we have to
The balance of the lives we live has been altered. Unsteady as it seems, this is our reality.
We change; we have to.
We have to learn to accept our roles and responsibilities, but don’t always have to live with consequences that are not ours.
We have to find ways of dealing with circumstances that are not, or should not be, our responsibility.
We have to learn to proceed without certainty.

awake or not
Will an hour make a difference?
Awake or not, time ticks away.
Will seconds and minutes amount to much as we proceed with a new day? What will you do with an hour lost in sleep?
Are you restless, still, about all you have done or have yet to do?
The answer is not found in the time but is found within you.
