Within sight but not within reach...
Have you ever felt that what you're trying to achieve is within sight and when you stretch for it you discover (sadly) that just becaus it was within sight it does not mean it's within reach?That's how I feel right now.
There are all these deadlines towering over me right now, and just when I think I'm going to get it all under control something happens and I don't. I can almost feel how things are slipping away, deadlines are being missed, friendships are being neglected, my cat's fur needs brushing and my apartment is a mess.
If I were an organized human, I would probably make a list and prioritize things - but I'm not. Lists only stress me out more, since they remind me of all the things I'm trying to forget- I find my mind has been doing a decent job of prioritizing over the years - if i remember it, it's important.
The wedding plans are moving along (slowly), I have a dress (still need shoes and a veil) he has a tux (still needs shirt, buttons, cufflinks and that thingeemajig they put around their waist), invitations have arrived (but need to be addressed and sent out), design decisions have been made (but are awaiting updated quote). I have a feeling we'll be getting married sooner rather than later. I am quite OK with that.
Work is picking up. That's an understatement - work is an absolute disaster.
The ASTD certification is looming in the near horizon, and I just can't find the inspiration I need to sit down and start writing - when (if ever) will it arrive? The package must be postmarked by March 2nd, so I'm seriously running out of time.
D. goes off to Miami this weekend, a friend of mine is coming to visit. I need to sit, laugh and de-stress.
In the meantime, the world is falling to pieces, sixty four miners are trapped in a coal mine in the North of Mexico, a mosque was blown to bits, people are dead in the Phillipines and aviary flu keeps on moving along the globe.
Sometimes, all we need to do is focus on the little things: inhale, exhale, love and live.
namaste,

Breathing is good, especially when feeling as overwhelmed as you must right now.... Your wedding, I'm sure, will be perfect. And no, roses don't make the bride (I didn't have a single flower of any type at my wedding, unless you count the silk ones in the bouquets I made for myself and my "best woman"). Will you be posting photos prior to the big day? :)
