43 Geeeeeooo the Slooow
Card of the day:
Life has felt so complicated lately—well, for the last couple of years really. Yikes! That long! Looking at Geo and his soft, sweet smile, I realize that a lot of the seeming complications have been because I feel like time is rushingrushingrushing by and I'm not getting enough done!
When I think about that it is immediately clear that never in my life have I felt like I was getting enough done.
(thinks awhile...)
That brought me to a halt!
Okaaaaay...
Point 1. I have lots of ideas about wonderful things to do, probably too many for any one lifetime.
Point 2. I turn these knackerty knotions from "inspirations" into "oughts" - and then I feel even farther behind. For example, the eight unwritten books (and innumerable stories, essays, poetry chapbooks and other stuff) I have in my head—how many of them do I really want to write, and how many would I kinda like to write...someday...maybe, and how many are books others have told me they want me to write?
Point 3. I probably really need to think about all this and remove most of my knackerty knotions from the Ought To Do Mental File into mental files like: the Would Really Love To, the Might Want To Do Someday If There Is Time Allowed, and the Don't Really Want To, But It Was A Cool Idea Files.
(thinking, thinking, thinking...)
Well, gee, thanks a bunch, Geo! I'm feeling better already.

popped on over from awakened heart....
I was once like this (and still have to work on it), it makes for a feeling of anxiety and never ever feeling satisfied.
Have you considered it this way?
