restless at midnight

it's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep. 

~dale carnegie

 

patsy cline's lyrics often ring in my head and echo a familiar message that i ask myself way too many times...'worry, why do i let myself worry?'  

common sense has told me it is a waste of energy.  i know from past experience that it offers no positive results.  

how long did it take for me to figure this out?  well... to be honest, for me to fully embrace the art of letting go is not something i have completely glommed on to...

but i am at least aware of the concept.  that is a HUGE step forward.

today i am hanging an exhibit at the box art gallery in mpls...(2nd flr of the thrivent financial bldg).  

i am fortunate to have many wonderful friends come to my rescue and help me with the hang.

i woke in my typical type A fashion. early. like 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. early.  my mind already the faded pulsation and echo from the incessant plotting and planning.  

then i reminded myself to take a big breath.  turn it off!  

i promised myself today was going to be different.  today i was going to have fun and today those who were with me were going to have fun too!  

no micro planning allowed.

'be the river...going with the flow'

that said, i guess i'll spend all the time i now have preparing for my interview.  not that don't pack enough in a day eh?

more to come...

but the Lord directs his steps."
