Shifts in the Wind
Yesterday afternoon was simply gorgeous: bright and blustery and simply lovely looking out the windows, 'specially w/the great pink clouds at sunset. I stayed inside (after nice Pixie puppy walkies mid-day) b'c I had tix to procure on-line (The First Jo-El - this year's holiday show by the Troubies) and had chicken stock simmering on the stove besides.
Today I get more Pixie puppy walkies at Noon, then fetch nearly-LJ-free S from PDX late afternoon for a bit of a visit before she heads back Northward, to home (but not for very much longer - squee/bounce).
I've had various thoughts abrewin' recently, now and again even drafting a heady 'n' bubblicious LJ post in my head. I even tried starting to write it once, but the thoughts aren't articulating well. They're more feelings and states of being rather than articulatable sentences. This is fine 'n' cool. In short, I guess I could say that I'm focusing more in the Here & Now rather than the Big Picture (aka down the line). It's at least in part a matter of control. If'n things're outta my control, then I'm not letting 'em bug me or get me down. There's a fair amount of c'est la vie mixed w/a portion of if'n it ain't meant to be, it won't be.
Even as I write this, I realize how at times - not now, amazingly enough! - it really bothers me to think in these terms. I'm a big fan of being proactive, in working towards whatcha want, in taking steps to reach your goals. What's shifted? Well, I'm taking a break. MY goals've shifted somewhat. And I'm content. THIS matters.
And now: on w/the day...
