Wow… Who knew how easy it would be, to be thrown off balance. I feel like I have lost touch with everything, that a few weeks ago was a pressing priority. Now I am having a hard time remembering what those things were or if they even existed!
Not to make light of this in any way, but my mother, Ruthie, ended up in the hospital for a few days. Things did not look or sound good. As a result, there was the scramble that ensues trying to coordinate things with family, friends, work, doctors, etc. The “what-if” scenarios started stacking on top of each other, and stuff that before, didn’t exist… all of a sudden were the only things that mattered.
Mom is fine and she is home now. I, on the other hand, am trying to remember what it is I am suppose to do, now that the sense of crisis is over. I know these things change us~but how? Is it really that I could have forgotten what I am suppose to do next… Or is it that those things that I was giving so much importance to before… Never were!?!
All I know is the last few days feel disorienting… I feel off balance. Perhaps it is suppose to be this way. Perhaps every once in a while we need to be reminded “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff (and it is all small stuff)” (title of Richard Carlson’s book). I am really good with the occasional cleaning house, making changes or switching focus. Maybe I need to start planning these events more… Cause when the Universe does it for you… It can be a doozie! If you see me this week, and it seems like I am turning in circles! I probably am!
In closing…. Many thanks to the Storm Wisdom Family for holding down the fort while I spun (especially Gisela!)… And my siblings and Fito for being there to step on to the “Tilt-a-Whirl” with me!
