Take time to play!

Ever feel like you just want to run away? Somewhere where you won't be asked to do anything, no pressure to say just the right thing or no expectations of you at all! Well I decided that tomorrow is my Run-Away-Day. I am letting my husband come along for this trip.
Ever felt like your underwear has been way too tight? Where you are convinced that your job is to be the Master Controller of everything? Well I am there. No I don't plan on burning my underwear, however, I have decided to step back from my life to reflect on what really do I have influence over.
Sometimes during these moments of clarity I discover that all my good intetentions have an underlying agenda. I want people to do things my way! Wow! How is that for honesty! Whether it be with our children, our colleagues, our boss, our friends or family, we all need to ask ourselves, "what really is my intention here?" The honest answer may surprise you.
So I came to the conclusion that God/Source/Spirit (whatever you choose to call this) never really did go on vacation so I need not fill in after all.
All the people who I love dearly and respect are exactly where they are supposed to be and yes that means those folks who are sitting in misery as well. I heard someone say that we have no right to rob someone of their misery. People are ready to change and grow when they choose not when we choose. Yes we can pray for them, yes we can encourage them, yes we can celebrate their gains however they must be willing to do what it takes to change. As for us, well we can choose letting go and trusting that all will work out for the highest good of all.
As for me I am off to a play date with my sweetie tomorrow. Where will your Run-Away-Day be?
Stay enchanted,

Cate
