Day 384
Getting Dressed To Shoes Hair and Makeup
Sunday, March 18, 2012
MARILYN’S WAY  Renew Your Spirit.  Yesterday I got up earlier than usual.  Today I am being affected by it.  For some reason I am feeling “Out Of Sync.”  I guess I could analyze it to death.  I have a feeling it would only make things worse.  The decision I made is that I took the morning off, drank my coffee and just rested.  I am still being affected by the time change.  I don’t like being in this transition stage but who does?

What I believe is happening is that by next month, I will be ready for some flinging again.  Remember we have to maintain and in order for this to happen we must declutter.  Many of us have those boxes that we put things in six months ago with the intention if we do not use any of it within this time period, it must be blessed to the world.  That is where I am at.  Can I wait until April to do this?  I really want to jump in now against my better judgement.  Of course this is old behavior and that is what it is.  It is because I don’t want to deal with what happened in the last 24 hours.

What has changed from yesterday to today?  Remember for those in my groups I made the comment that my washing machine sounds like it is drunk?  Well, it is DEAD today.  How is this going to affect my flying?  It is going to have a significant factor on it until I can get another washing machine.  I want to go into sheer panic because the closet place to wash clothes is 35 miles away.  Guess what!  This is just a part of life that happens to us all.  Am I going to let this situation keep me from shining my sink, swish and swiping, making my bed, emptying the dishwasher?  What about getting dressed to shoes hair and makeup?  Do I want to loath into “Why Me?”  Sure I do!  I allowed myself to do this for a period of time today and now I am done with it.  I have had my moment.  What’s next?  To continue doing what I CAN do.  Added to my list is shopping for a new wash machine.  This is when the basic routines come to into play.  I have got my basic routine honed down now.  One step I won’t be able to do is a “Load Of Laundry” a day until I get mine replaced.  I will use that time to search on the internet to educate myself on what features I want and the price range.  Now, isn’t that better than loathing in self pity?  We all know we need to do our laundry.  To solve this, how about thinking, “Why Not Today?”  For all of you that have a washing machine that works, why not give it a blessing!
Keep FLYing!

  1. my wash machine was waiting repairs last week. With the time change, it totally threw me off. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who gets off track this way. I was starting to think I needed to go to the laundromat to get the laundry done. Maybe that would have been the wise thing to do. This week I'm playing catch-up. Piles of clean laundry everywhere because I let my'all-or-nothing' attitude get in the way of my FLYing!! Thanks for the blog!! 🙂
