This weekend, though originally I thought it would be a relatively stress-free one, turned out to be anything but! Things began to unravel towards the middle of last week. By the time Friday rolled around, well, I was cinching up my seatbelt and preparing for a bumpy ride, which is what I got.

A host of different situations and relationships all went a bit haywire—all at once, yet having nothing to do with one another. It’s a tad nerve-wracking when that happens. At least, I think it is. Anyhow, I did the only thing I could, I stated my piece, heard out the others and then took a step back from each situation to allow things to play out as they were meant to.
Being a type-A person, who likes to have everything work out all neat and tidy, it takes a ton of energy for me to just hang low and let thing go at their own pace. But, that’s what I did. I sucked up my desire to help things along and took more of a neutral stance. At the time, doing so proved exhausting—quite. But in the long run, I’m glad that’s how I opted to handle each situation, for in the end, most all of those situations have run their course in keeping with how life’s challenges have a natural rhythm and flow. And the ones that haven’t yet resolved…they’re getting there. It’s just gonna take a little longer. And I’m okay with that.
