Tattooed Martha - Daily Life 63

I feel like I’ve been a bit all over the place lately. I’m the queen of making lists upon lists, but even with my borderline-OCD list making, I feel like I’m only focusing on the day-to-day and not the bigger picture. I get too caught up in the how. How will I get there? How will I make it happen? How can I make it happen faster? I think I’ve been far too impatient and stubborn to ever grasp the concept of letting the universe take care of the how. I just like to handle things on my own because I feel more satisfied knowing that I got myself there.

Unfortunately I’m at a wall… that wall is the how. I have to finally jump head first into the positive thinking movement that I’m secretly and cynically judging all the time. This is going to be a huge challenge for me to just let go and not worry about the how, but I have no choice. Don’t worry.. I’m not going to go all ‘Namaste’ on you, but I do need to make a slight shift in my attitude and way of thinking if I’m going to get anywhere with this.

Blame the changing seasons for this sudden post on reflection, but I think it’s a nice reminder to constantly evolve and change, much like the seasons do.

Are there any previously-cynical-turned-positive-thinkers out there that have some advice for me?

  1. Have you ever made monkey bread? I made it over the weekend. It turned out fantastic and the wife and my little girls loved it.

    • I haven’t yet, but all the recipes I find look pretty tasty! Of course I’ll have to find a way to incorporate Sailor Jerry Rum into it somehow! 😉

  2. Waiting for the right time or circumstance is a hard lesson to learn for me. Being positive and hopeful sure beats being grumpy and negative. And things might not turn out the way you think they should but they might be even better than what you planned. Lists are good. We can’t remember everything.

  4. Aw, I know how it is ti get reflective as the leaves fall and the world seems a bit grayer. I’ve generally been a positive thinker, so I’m afraid I don’t have much advise for you, though I do find my enthusiasm for any number of things waxing and waning, which can be frustrating to me. The best I can say is that it’s good to talk about these sorts of things, and I’m happy you feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts with all of us! *hugs*
