Create your day!
Create your day! Have a glorious and abundant life! It doesn’t always work!
It is not often that I get a chance to see so clearly how I missed to create my day.It was during one of our kayak holidays into the wilderness.
John mentioned that at some point he would kayak to the shops to buy more beer and that I could make a shopping list. Now there were two words in that sentence that make me see red on my holiday. The words were ‘shopping’ and ‘list’. On my holiday I refuse to think about shopping and making lists is hard even if my life depends on it. All year long I drag food from shops. Before we go I do one last big shop and that is it for 4 weeks.
So my mind closed and there was no way I was going to make John’s trip a creation of abundance.
I could have had fruit, fresh vegetables, yoghurt and food galore and instead John came home with a miserable harvest of 2 loaves of bread and one lettuce.
So, did I create my day? Yes I did, but not a wonderful and abundant one.
Hindsight showed closed down brain, missed opportunity and inflexibility. Doesn’t sound like me and yet there is no denying it.
