Relative Something

Just a peek of something that isn’t snow to go with our January warm spell, but one that represents the chaos that I’m feeling as the many needles of things calling for my attention seem scattered all over the place. I just have to figure out a way to perceive them as belonging just the way they lie. I have to overcome my urge to see them all become arranged in some sort of order and discover the peace of allowing normal to be observed in the usual chaos of things.

I want to become better able to associate the times when things seem to be getting stressful as okay, just as they are. Sure, things are incredibly busy and seem chaotic, but if I frame my perceptions of chaos as normal, maybe my reaction and management of events can be more balanced and calm. I wouldn’t mind learning to perceive days that get overly busy as individual moments that aren’t as stressful as they seem to be when taken all at once. I think that would be a good skill to master.
