It's All In My Head...

I read something today that basically said that I will never be finished with my "to do" list..."All is well, and you will never get it done. " is what it actually said. And I felt this sense of calm come over me - a sense of relief. I almost ALWAYS have a sense that I haven't finished everything I am "supposed" to be doing. The laundry is still overflowing in the bins, my mural is stenciled on the wall, waiting to get painted, my holiday cards - not even begun! And all these things weigh on my mind as "failures" each and every day...for real.

Check this out: "You will never be in a place where all of the things that you are wanting will be satisfied right now, or then you could be complete -- and you never can be." Whoa. That lets me off the hook! I can never be complete...hmmmm. That's a trip. A lot to think about. So all is well right here, right now. I am going to take that in. If I'm truly able to internalize this concept, it could change my whole life.

What if I just looked at the unfinished things on my list as part of life; every day I will have some things on my 'finished' list, some things on my 'currently doing' list and some stuff on my 'unfinished' list? And what if I made a decision not to judge that - just let it be part of what IS, and what will always BE?

Abraham-Hicks (where the quotes are coming from) says that life is supposed to be fun. Here's the best part: "Everything is unfolding perfectly. All is really well. Have fun. Have fun. Have fun!" I'm gonna try!!! :)
