≅ everywhere i turn, the demands of threaten to overwhelm me ≅
posted: Mon, Mar 1, 2010 09:14:35 AM
i find that most of my fears and concerns do not need my immediate attention, i then focus on the issues that really need to be resolved right away. i find myself in a worry wart mode this morning, worrying about things that are beyond my control, and feeling like there is nothing i can do to move forward. i know all of this is a reaction to life, and part of it comes from the week of enforced layoff from working out. this reading, without a doubt is appropriate for me today, and i will go on with the suggestions to see what i can get resolved as the day goes on.
first off, the time to worry, is over. i am going to walk in FAITH, that if i do the next right thing today, which means allowing the POWER that brought me to recovery and provides for all i need to care for my will and my life. i have options this morning, in fact all day, and i will exercise them.
secondly, i will move into my next task, which is running into town to do the work i have contracted to do, today.
finally, i will let go of my worries, work towards the resolution of the problems i see as most important and within my reach and leave the rest of world to spin as it will.
so it is off to the showers, secure in the knowledge that i can and will be cared for, if i allow it to happen.

will gradually become clear. Who can secure the condition of rest?
Let movement go on, and the condition of rest will gradually arise.
