This was a stressful day for me so I searched for healing words that come to mind. Today's were: Harmony, Meditation and Nature:
Harmony came forth as a result of a business conflict that has been troubling me. I took action to reach out to a colleague that would help make sense of the situation and we have a meeting with our manufacturers tomorrow. It was important to look past the surface of my own problem through communicating with another who has the power to facilitate the meeting. I can make a more informed decision tomorrow and continue to do my best work today. In the past, I would simmer in misunderstanding and get discouraged.
Meditation on my set of problems was crucial in identifying how to prioritize my plan of action. Meditation, as part of the bigger picture is extremely important every day for me so I don't get overwhelmed by everything on my plate. Answers to my problems usually come to me in the shower after a good night's rest because I spent a few minutes trying to plan my day living with intent. It can be so easy to slip into a pattern of worry without this simple exercise.
Nature. Finding some time to be outdoors every day is critical but we often deny ourselves that pleasure. Even pet-owners in this heat don't want to spend too much time out in the burning Texas sun. Walking our dogs is more of a task than a pleasure but it can potentially be both. I just had to remind myself of that fact after seeing my pets bask on the sunlit balcony.
Considering that I work from home, maybe I don't have to look wantonly at the pool at the end of the day but can occassionally go out there for a few minutesto refresh, meditate, and find a little bit of harmony. (At least I don't have to pick up puppy pooh :-)
In keeping good and beautiful face we have to first keep a good mind and be at peace with ourselves.Thanks for the lovely words.

I don't know how to use this site but I noticed you posted something on a site about Rocky Stewart.... I was his nanny as well for some time. I was wondering if you still kept in touch with Bre and Vanessa??
