This too Shall Pass.

Isn't it interesting, that when everything is just right- your place looks as tidy as ever, you've crossed off nearly all the things on the pressing-tasks-to-do list, you've eaten, look nice, feel great, you've worked hard and all is calm (like in the eye of the storm) and all is well- but only for a very brief hold-your-breath-for fear-of-ending-it second, and then...... something happens, and it disturbs the very delicate balance: you know, like get a giant zit on your face, staring at it makes you late, you forget your wallet or keys, miss the yoga classes all week, don't have time to get groceries, get cranky, and everything blows up in your face.... and then somehow cycle manages to begin again?

Well I think so. And it reminds me when I think of it, that "This too Shall Pass"
Being worried about my experiment- This too shall pass.
Being worried about getting my masters- this too shall pass.
Being pleased with oneself about it- this too shall pass. (shall now be abbreviated to ttsp)
Being annoyed at all the dishes in the sink- ttsp
Being completely content with life- ttsp
Being head over heals in love- ttsp
Being so heartbroken that you think never to love again- ttsp
Sleeping- ttsp
Spending all morning sleeping in- ttsp
Procrastinating- ttsp
Enjoying a tasty meal that someone made- ttsp
Doing repetitive work- ttsp
Living in Edmonton- ttsp
Living- in general - though I don't like to think of it so often- This too, shall pass....

.... I guess the point is, well, it will pass. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad... It will pass only once in this time-space, so I guess try to make the most of it, as much as we can... and know the crappy stuff will pass, just the same....

In in the eye of the storm now... So instead of hypothesizing the size of the storm... I guess I'll just sit and enjoy my clean house, my full belly, my healthy body and my strangely calm contentment. Since, this too, shall pass.




I know right, first world problems....
