A Slow “Puttering About” Day

Good Morning, God!

I have talked Kit into going out for a Moon Watching Dinner! We will be going to the Shack and eating on the lanai that overlooks the Marina and watching the moon rise. This is something I WANT to do every month. But I rarely get the timing right AND negotiate far enough ahead with Kit.

It has to be BEFORE the full moon, but not too far ahead. Often, I fail to check the dates and am SURPRISED by the full moon. I must say, God, that I LOVE the moon. Such a good idea. And, yes, You caught me thinking about how Mars has TWO moons and being a bit envious. It is so easy to slip into wanting more! But I bet wanting more Moons is a first!

Actually, what I want is more STRUCTURE! Yesterday I puttered about doing things for myself. As You no doubt noted, I hedged a bit on the definition of work. I didn’t work for OTHERS! I did make one small organizational upgrade. I cleared off a shelf of out-dated binders and set up a set of Day Pads — Monday through Saturday. I can feel them behind me and it makes me happy!

I suspect that “getting organized” is a lot like forgiving. First, I have to WANT to. SecondI need to remember my Emotional Body and my Office can only HOLD JUST SO MUCH without toxicity or chaos setting in. Hmmm. How much easier it is to focus on the paper clutter and the swarms of TO DOs than to do the Spiritual/Emotional Work of Forgiving! So, God, maybe Organizing is to my papers what Forgiving is to my Heart Memories? More a matter of TOSSING than filing? Yes, God, first I have to look at them!
