Reality Check

It must be Fall. Every time I first notice these are blooming, no matter how redundant, I seem to need to blip them, at least once....which has nothing to do with the reality check.

Note to self: When you began the Summer, and cleaning out Mother Comfort's house, you committed yourself to just treating each day as just that day. To resist the temptation to stack stressor upon stressor, and day upon day as if it were a giant project. Instead, to see each day as a little project all its own.

Of late, the temptation to feel like it has gone on and on, has mounted. The reminder I give myself, "you wanted to learn to pace yourself, you wanted to learn to endure and continue to the end, this is a great bit of practice and an answer to prayer". OK, so, if we were to list all the single days and each mountain we've climbed, the list would be very long. The fact that there is a mountain of days left, and projects to match, is simply a reflection of the life we are living.

Whether we like it or not, there will always be a certain amount of redundancy and repetition. A certain amount of discipline will always be required of us, if we want to blaze new trails for ourselves. That's just the way it is.
