motivation…

fear and anxiety
are not good motivators
however
all too often
we are engulfed by our fears
or our anxieties
to the point where they do
motivate us
to do things
we wouldn’t do
in our right minds

if fear is you major motivator
how do you know
that the decisions you make
are the best for you
they may seem right at the time
but in the end will only serve
to cause you much more
anxiety
than had you made your decision
from a place of calm

learning to relax
is not easy
but necessity.

an auspicious morning

Early this afternoon I have an appointment with a sort of reverse head hunter…a person who helps people that are looking for new work hone their skills and connect with companies looking for suitable employees – I’m both anticipating this meeting and a little scared of the task at hand…

I had a restless night and this morning I got up to discover that someone had used all the cream in my house (*ahem*) so I had to put my pants on and head to the grocery store.

On my way back from the store some urge had me stop at a thrift store near my home….I don’t often frequent thrift stores (I do like antique stores though) but for some reason I wandered in to one this morning.  You will imagine my surprise at discovering one of my beloved Belle Fiore plates! A sandwich plate that I was able to purchase for $3.00 – by far the best deal I’ve ever received when buying what is now considered an antique.

I think it’s a sign that there is room in my life for positive change…and right now I’m eating a soft boiled egg (in the egg cup that my Aunt Marigold sent me) with “little soldiers” of toast all neatly arranged on my new (and freshly/lovingly) washed plate and thinking of my family.
