mlerulesSince rules won't always be followed, guidelines may have to suffice. Taking turns and being flexible re: scheduling may work better than demanding whatcha want and insisting things Do Not Change from how they're set to go. Schedules shift. Things change. Sh!t happens. Deal w/it. (Again w/the Grace Under Pressure admonition.)
Rolling w/punches 'n' bending like reeds makes more sense than snapping bones and pouting and folding arms across chest b'c we won't get exactly what we want when we want it. The idea's the thing. Ah, yes - growth opportunities abound. Yeah, at least I'm grinning as I grumble. How will it all work out? It's a mystery. But it will.
Wow. I'm actually adopting and believing and living this way right now. The Virgo's astonished. And perhaps a tad appalled. Fark it. Go w/it. See what happens. It's unknown. (Hence the term "mystery.") See if'n it works for you. And if'n it doesn't, see whatcha can do 'bout it 'nother time.
I'm feeling like I wanna be a wallflower, or perhaps a fly on the wall, not so much an initiator, but a spectator. My facilitation has gone into getting things ready, into getting things rolling, into getting things to this point. The ducks're aligned, and now they'll go out and fly on their own.
Now I wanna sit back and enjoy the ride for a while. Not sure if'n this's possible, but I intend to find out.
