i have been feeling like i am simply hovering from one pile to another lately like a hummingbird from flower to flower. starting one thing for 30 seconds and then zipping to something else leaving both unfinished and sprawled all over the place. and then my frustrations mount. but today i got several little reminders from the universe. first of all, a friend sent me an email and gently reminded me to give myself a break and remember 'we can only do what we can do.' (thx andie!) and then when i finally got out for a run today and hit the wrong playlist, realizing it was an interval set, rather than focusing on the fact that i am not where i'd like to be right now with my runs/training - i'd just go with it. start from where i am, build up slowly. at first i resisted, but as i emptied my mind a bit and took the time to listen to that little voice in my heart that whispers truth - and just ran - i 'got' the bigger picture on oh so many levels. my friend's email spoke to me once more. the house is a mess right now, the laundry never seems to dwindle these days, kai's room is piled high on his carpet, there are piles of 'little projects' all over my desk at home and at work. but then a sweet student of mine unexpectedly slipped me this note as she ran out of my room today.
