So, Dear Universe...
Someone somewhere undoubtedly has a more important question, but my sneezy a$$ self wants to know: What is the lesson in a cold? Is there a lesson? Stillness? A reminder of the fleeting, impermanent state of things? Appreciation for baseline? When I am sick, I tend to feel anxious about what I'm not getting done and of the life I'm not getting. I think things like, "I should be outside," and "how am I going to write my lesson plans?" Pema Chodron says, "This moment is the perfect teacher." What is this moment trying to teach me?
I've also been wondering, will Sabrina and Mark(DWTS) stay together forever? And what is your take on Albert's strappy sandals?
ha-HA! I think those strappy sandals are quite sassy, especially on a genius such as AE. Just look at that squinty smirk; he's almost daring us to make fun of him.
ReplyDeleteI think your cold can teach you the lesson of slowing down. I always manage to catch something whenever I have a bajillion things going on; when I get sick, I know I need to cool it for a while. It's a good time to (at least temporarily) banish those "shoulds" and just let yourself watch some crappy TV or something.
But I do hope you feel better soon. :)
i am quite digging those sassy strappy sandals ;-) hot!
ReplyDeletei feel like i wasted away the weekend and i didn't even have a cold to hold me down ... i was beating myself up, shoulda coulda didn't so thank you for reminding me that it is somehow okay to just see this moment for what it is, without expectation or judgement ...
