Meeting Adjourned

Jon captured our friend peering in our RV window.

There are days when a visit from nature can shift my perspective on the day.  Sometimes, I just have a bad 11:10, instead of saying I had a bad day.  My thinking can really send me into a spiral at times.  Especially when my brain keeps reiterating all of the things I haven't done, and need to do, and then it has the nerve to ask me why I haven't done it yet!  

I tell people I have a whole committee that meets every once in awhile in my brain.  There is the nagging old woman who keeps picking me apart, asking me why I never get things accomplished.  An old man sits on this committee scolding me, telling me that I am never going to meet my goals.  I think there are about five characters that sit at this rectangular table.  If you have watched the Muppets, just think of the two old Hecklers.  Yes, they are there too.

Then, in the midst of my day I am sent a visit from nature.  A Cardinal, a butterfly, a whisper of wind, a cloud forming familiar shapes in the sky.  I am softly reminded of who I am, and that who I am is enough.  I am right where I am suppose to be, I remind myself.  The committee gets bored in my distraction, and soon they begin to grab their donuts, coffee and jackets, and slowly saunter off to another boardroom where someone else has given them space to meet.

I know they will be back, I have accepted the fact.  I am aware of their existence now and this gives me the power to adjourn their meetings.   So hangs the sign on my door MEETING ADJOURNED.
