self-portrait wednesday

Ever noticed how life has a way of evening out the flow….

You make some money – a bill arrives.  You should be thankful that you have the money to pay for the bill, but somewhow it just seems wrong that you can’t get that little luxury that was looking so promising.  You finish one job, get set for a breather, and the next one makes itself apparent.  Damn.

Things have been like that around here a lot lately.  Not too much room for just breathing, (or planning come to think of it), but it all seems to work out in the end.  Not knowing how I will find time to get task A completed within the next few days, by some miracle a window opens and it can be done without too much fuss.

There’s a lot to get through by the end of the year, and I’m trying not to panic, and just enjoy the social things that happen along the way (because they are just so lovely).  I still havn’t really started Christmas shopping (eek), I still havn’t started on Zara’s Christmas or birthday (not sure which yet) project which will be exciting and fun, and it looks like I will be entertaining en-masse 3 times in one week over Christmas.

Crikey I need a holiday – or a cup of tea and a nice lie down.

But back to the flow.  Little miracles happen on a regular basis, and it’s so nice to be reminded that the universe looks after us all despite the feeling of being a mouse in a wheel.  The afternoon I came back from hanging The Birds,  I went out to the backyard, and found the most beautiful, tiny little eggshell from a recently hatched bird.  Lovely present, and it made my day.  Yesterday my husband decided to take the day off work today (a surprise), so I rang my hairdresser (who I havn’t been able to make a childfree arrangement with for months), and she had an opening today at a perfect time (that never, never happens).  So today I can get my haircut whoot!

It’s all there, if we can just be patient and wait for it.
