I like to say “My Universe Provides” as a general nod to what other people might refer to as God. The universe does seem to be on my side at times, providing the right things at the right time, if I am open to noticing and giving it credit. I have no doubt that it does this for me more than I observe. I am not reliant on this, and I am not upset if it doesn’t this time. When others say things happen for a reason, and hard times are a lesson, I have similar metaphors for my version.
Today, the universe provided me with a few options that solved a few problems. They can be explained without involving the universe quite easily, but when you start out looking for signs, you see signs. Especially when it fills a specific need to get out of doing things I didn’t want to do anyway.
Today is the third consecutive day this week I have struggled to finish up some major customer needs that have been put off countless times, but especially this week where I planned a routine to start and work on them this morning. Because it failed the last two days. This attitude is common, but when it happens three days in a row it gets me down for anything else and I enter a bleh mood where I spend idlle time brooding over my life situation and how I feel trapped. I didn’t look to the sky and request a sign or anything like that, but on my way inside the timing was perfect, as I was given farm chores to complete. Things that have a more instant gratification, and I know how to do them without having to ask questions or make decisions. The labour part is there and I would rather not do the task, but that is true for most things given the choice. I am always content to do none of the harder things.
But house chores have added benefits. In my continuing efforts to earn my keep and please my keepers, house chores solve this. I solve a problem for the house, and al they had to do was ask. I always make them ask, because then I know. I don’t like asking in general, but I really don’t like asking if there is any work I can do for you.
In today’s case, the task was simple enough and it came at the right time so it works as a mental excuse in my head. I give priority to pleasing the locals over pleasing the customers. Procrastination scoreboard moves to day 4 on the web work. I should point out it’s not hard work I’ve avoiding. Like most of the things I procrastinate, it might take 30 minutes or less, but as it sits in task form in my head, it’s just enough that I start and quit pretty consistently. That task boulder remains at the bottom of the mountain another day.
Now I just have to decide how long I can stall the new task without upsetting anyone here… except me of course.
