This could turn into a long post, but I'm realizing that I'm not prepared to write about it in full yet, so I'm just going to regurgitate what it is that I feel I can say.
Something big is afoot at the Circle K, Ted. (If you email me the movie reference, I'll give you a gold star!!)
I am the Circle K.
I go through these phases where everything is all a bunch of shit and then for a few months everything is golden. While this sounds like bi-polarism, I think it's more likely a labor of myself. Meaning, when a woman pushes a child out into the world, the baby moves down a bunch and then goes back up a little - 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Eventually, a new person emerges after a lot of work and a lot of back and forth. Tis the same with myself.
I've realized a few things in the last few days:
- I don't have to good at everything. I can try things (or not) just for the fun and experience of it - I don't have to make everything an endeavor.
- It's okay for me to only do one thing well a day. For example, Saturday morning, I held down a deck chair really well. Yesterday, I did laundry to the best of my ability, today I'm spinning well in the morning and will hang out with my best friend this afternoon the very best way I can. For everything else that comes up, good enough is good enough.
- I don't have to be incredibly productive every day of my life.
- It's likely that I need to change my definition of "productive."
- Hanging out with my kids *is* doing something.
Things are moving, things are changing, things are shifting. I'm shedding the scales of unwanted thinking and opening up to the beautiful plumage of acceptance.
Now way? Way!

Bill and Ted! What do I win?
I hate to one up myself, but the quote it actually wrong. Go to this page http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096928/quotes
and about mid way down, you will find the quote by Ted and it actually was "Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K".
So, do I get a second gold star? I love winning contests! Hee-Hee
