Running onEmpty - by, Ellen Sue Stern
Wherever you go, there you are. - Al-Anon
We can worry all the way there, plotting and scheming. Or we can move with a sure heart. Either, we end up in the same place.
Often I live by a schedule, and if I'm really overcommited, I even break it up into fifteen-minute increments. Then I follow it religously. Every minute is accounted for; I break into sweat if I fall behind, terrified I won't make the finsih line.
But once in a while, even when I'm at my busiest, I throw caution to the wind and toss the Holy Schedule aside. I take the long way home around the lakes. Or spontaneously meet a friend for lunch. I always end up with twice the energy.
Affirmation: Everything that happens leads me somewhere
