I am typing this Bliss Blog entry on my new gadget, a.k.a. Tablet, which is an itsy bitsy computer a fraction of the size of my lap top. I am hunkered down at my friends Kim and Eric Berg’s home. She is my ‘web angel’ who designs my website and he is the computer tech who keeps everything running. My laptop is soon to be sent to the Geek Squad hospital for surgery. It may take up to three weeks to return home. In the mean time, since my work revolves around a fully operational computer, this new addition will keep me going. Amazing how attached we are to technology.\u00a0Eric is copying over copious amounts of files, so I will have access to articles and photos. Time to clean out excess apparently, since it is taking a long time to complete. In the meantime, I am waiting as patiently as possible.<\/p>\n
So it is in my daily life, as I am called on for things to occur at their own chosen speed, not mine. The Serenity Prayer in action. Some things are simply beyond my control,\u00a0 which is not easy for this recovering workaholic to accept. I want events to unfold seamlessly and speedily. What I have learned is that I can’t always have both. I am willing to surrender to the process and the flow.<\/p>\n
What is a bonus about this experience was that I got to catch up with my friends, play with the\u00a0Kinya, the dog\u00a0and Oreo, the cat, listen to the croaking of the pond frogs who live behind their house, admire Kim’s garden that was planted inside movers’ pallets, join them at their dinner table with grilled veggies, sit on the front porch with their daughter, Arielle, who is a newly minted yoga teacher, as we enjoyed ice cream sandwiches. I gazed skyward, breathing in the late Spring-feels-like-Summer breeze, appreciating the feather clouds, painting the blue. Slowing down seemed the thing to do, since often, I still move more quickly than would benefit me.<\/p>\n
My new buddy is having a sleepover at Eric and Kim’s place, since it was still taking in the new data. I will come back to pick it up tomorrow. I hope it is well behaved and doesn’t snore.<\/p>\n
