Beth's Ponderings
Last month, I was
chatting with a good friend and I expressed how UNBELIEVABLE it has been that I
was doing so much this year - the garden labyrinth, biking, and other big
projects - and how some of the projects came together so quickly and easily. My friend replied that it wasn’t
unbelievable, as I was always capable of doing all these activities all along,
I just needed to make the decision and take action.
Now, I totally
agree that nothing happens in our lives unless we decide to do it, and then do
whatever actions we need to do to make it become a reality. However, in my case, that wasn’t exactly true.
In the past, I have
had numerous ideas and plans, and I have even gotten to the point of starting
them, and in some select cases, I had progressed quite far along in the
process, and despite lots of determination, I was never able to follow through
to complete the projects or tasks.
I wasn’t scared to
finish, nor had I just lost interest in what I was doing (which can be standard
responses), rather I did not have the health to actually finish the project. No matter how much I wanted to accomplish
whatever it was, I was held back by circumstances I couldn’t control.
Now, yes, I have
managed in the past few years to complete some desires and dreams, but they
were low-energy ones, so it didn’t matter if I felt healthy or not, I was still
able to plug away and see some results.
This year, though, has been different. Projects and dreams were not only started, but, more importantly, are now being finished! By the time you read this, I will have self-published a 40-page chapbook of the original “View From My Window” columns, as well as two 50-card wisdom decks of proverbs! If you would like more information, or to purchase, please contact me (contact info below). And I have more projects that will hopefully be completed soon.
