Ironies

Laundry Schedule: Sort today, wash later, fold eventually and iron… ha ha 

ATLT 003-2

It’s the last day of the month and that means starting tomorrow a whole new round of events begin.  One of these events is “All The Little Things,” a monthly event for the little ones centered around a monthly theme.   This new round is all about “Saturday Morning” and will begin on July 5th.  Here are just a few things you can find.

The cute jumper that has cats all over it worn by lil me is from Cottontail.  Two other gender neutral colors can also be found at the event.   The retro television by Little Llama does remind me of my Saturday mornings growing up watching cartoons on a television almost just like that one.   The screen is texture change to other kid friendly pictures or you can just add your own as well.  The pillow is also by Little Llama and I textured the plain pillow, but you can find three other patterned pillows that come with 5 sitting animations at the event.

So does anyone iron these days?

Lesson 24

Snapshot_003

This picture has nothing to do with this lesson, it is more the state of quietness that I find myself in this week.  Even though I have probably only painted once or twice in the last year — behind the easel is where I have found great solitude shutting out the world and immersing myself in whatever I was painting.  As I read this lesson nothing glaringly jumps out in my mind about being in conflict with someone else over the need to be right unless that small voice in your head counts!

You see I find myself contemplating the changes that have taken place in my life the last few months, some that I made willingly and others forced upon me and having to adjust as necessary.   That voice says change is good and everything was for my own good and I fight back saying not all changes are good, being adamant in my way of thinking.

Yes, this lesson comes right on time for me as I choose to be open to look at it differently and apply it to where I am in life.   Most often it’s not always another person that you can find yourself most at odds with.  It’s yourself.   Right?  Admit you’re wrong and I’m right and we’re all happy. 🙂

Lesson 24: Admit You Are Wrong

Whenever two people are at odds with one another, it’s usually because both people are trying to be right. Sometimes we defend our positions even when they make us miserable, because we just can’t bear to admit that we’re wrong. Our need to be right robs us of intimacy and fulfillment in our personal relationships, and perpetuates our feelings of discontent.

This week, notice what your need to be right costs you in terms of energy, intimacy, and peace of mind. Ask yourself what’s more important: being right or being happy.

Your Self-Love Assignment

Allow yourself to see one thing you’ve been fighting to be right about. Are you holding a position with someone that’s causing you stress or aggravation? Have you been blaming someone else for your current state of affairs?

Your assignment this week is to make the powerful choice to take responsibility for the role you played in the creation of this situation. Even if you feel you can justify your position, notice how much more freedom, peace, and contentment you have when you let it go.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 150 points every time you admit you’re wrong!
