Sunday surrender......

Yesterday I mowed and mulched the last of the leaves......or as good as it is gonna get;-) had a guy come that cleaned my gutters for a great price, decorated the porch for Christmas......all the while feeling pretty good......until later in the day.....I started to feel some crud threaten to overcome me......sigh.......have had a class full of sick kiddos on repeat all year, but this week a ton.....so I crawled in bed with some soup and vitamins and tea......went to be super early.....feel better some this morning......and all of it will take my surrender.....I can feel the stress rising up about my having conferences Monday and Tuesday......minimal sick time left already for the year.....Thanksgiving this week......all of it.....and just like I said in my video yesterday....all of that is futile......I have no intention on focusing on the stress of all of that, and growing that futilely in my life.....whatever will be this week will be......and there is nothing to be done about it but to ride it out.....so on the other side I will throw every trick I know to lessening whatever this is, and getting better quickly.....and for today I will lie in my bed.....and listen to my body and surrender......not fighting it all....when I hopped on in that video yesterday I meant it.....what we focus on is what grows in our lives.......the quality of our thoughts and internal dialogue becomes the house we live in, and the life we live on the outside.....no matter our circumstance or challenge......I feel like many people wait for good stuff to happen so they can be happy.....and maybe I was guilty of doing that sometimes too in my old life.....but the truth is.....NO MATTER what is going on around us......we get to DECIDE......we get to decide how we feel and what experience we have, way more than most folks realize......so instead of focusing on the fallout of me potentially getting sick.....I am just embracing today and the opportunity to rest and relax........maybe catch a movie or two......and rest and relax......lying back and not fighting just trusting.....hope your Sunday is what you want it to be.....and if it isn't hope that is OK too;-)
