It's funny to see how the themes in our life play out. I posted today (April 5, 2011) what I thought was my first entry for this blog that I started in October, but found this incomplete post from October 11, 2010....
I suppose I should start by clarifying that I've started "blogging" for my own personal sanity and not to share my insanity with the world. I'm not looking for followerers or comments, or posts, but just a space where my mind and spirit can connect. If in the process, I connect with others, that's ok, but this is more for me than anyone else.
So I'm taking a page from my mom's playbook. She calls it "daily mastery of the ordinary." I'd love to blame it on adult ADD, but I think I just lack discipline. I struggle with maintaining a daily routine that allows me to feel like my life is in "order". I've decided to focus on five daily commitments so that I might feel more "on track".
I'm also looking at ways to align my daily life with the life I believe I want.
I went on to identify a core value, actions I could take around that value, and my personal mentors. The funny part is that I didn't list my "five daily commitments" nor do I remember what they were. I'm guessing at least one of them had to do with getting more sleep and perhaps another was focused on prayer/meditation, but this is a wonderfully ironic example of the challenges I've faced in recent years, and perhaps my whole life, when it comes to staying on track.
Again, taking it step by step, my five daily commitments might be whittled back to three but I'm excited to explore this within the context of "precious things".
