It may be summer, but it certainly isn't slow. The political season is starting up and I am certainly in the mix. So many things are going through my head right now about it...helping other candidates, the county fair, the state fair, and most importantly, taking out my petitions for re-election. I have been encouraged by all the positive comments I have received and look forward to the election in the Spring. At the same time, questions rise about the next one. Politicians are always looking one election ahead. To me, I do well to think about the present and let the future take care of itself. Actually, that is a concept that I am definitely working on. "Real time" is not always easy for me. I like to have matters planned. I like to know what's on people's minds. I like knowing that I'm on the same page when that page counts! Not knowing drives me crazy, but I am trying to work on that. I am slowly, but surely realizing that not everyone likes to wear their feelings on their sleeves like I do. Hahaha! Maybe one of these years I'll become accepting of that! So...I will only deal with one election at a time. That will keep me busy!
I always find the not planning very hard. How does one overcome that? I ask about what time? Who is going to be there? What are we going to eat? I even get upset when I have planned something and then something else comes up even if it is nice guesture. It takes me a few minutes to reflect and then I realize I am being silly and have to apologize. Is that jsust because things didn't go my way or the way i thought they were going to go. So as I read this blog it reminds me the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. :) I will be working on myself as well. One day at a time is a good motto for me now.
