            <title>Feeling Pressure of ‘Life’s Too Short’?</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5159683&amp;cid=t_199218_136_f&amp;fid=39025&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Feverythingchangesbook%2F%7E3%2FccYjD7AR3SA%2Flife-is-too-short-cancer</link>
            <description>By Sarah J.
I keep finding myself thinking: If my doctor gives me a few months to live, would I want to live them the way I have been? The answer of course is no. I’m sure I’m not the first cancer patient who thought about quitting their job, moving to a tropical island, and having a torrid affair with a cabana boy (or girl) after writing a memoir.
Yet here I am today, back to the same old grind as before cancer with only a few changes.  Why? Reality. Medical and credit card bills prevent any job quitting or island hopping. Since cancer entered my life, and especially during my transition from cancer patient back to an average Jolene, I have struggled to find balance between the reality of my life and that feeling that I should be out living it my way. I call this “Life’s Too Short...</description>

            <title>Best of Our Blogs: November 19, 2010</title>

            <description>Every moment, we have an opportunity for self-growth. In fact, I was having one of those just yesterday.
It was about five in the evening and I was stuck in traffic. As cars attempted to race past me, getting just a mere two cars ahead, I started to think about the frustration and impatience we all seemed to be feeling in the moment.
Would I choose to give into the overwhelming negativity all around me? Or would I drown out the sounds of car engines and frustration with the radio and the TV I could see in the van directly in front of me?
I decided to use this unpleasant situation for my benefit by fully being in the moment. I saw the dark clouds looming overhead, the lights from cars shining through it and the feeling of impatience that was slowly taking over me.
It was an hour of sitting ...</description>

            <title>a steadfast spirit</title>

            <description>While life has been fabulous and busy and joy-filled, eclectic and exciting and new &amp;#8230; It has also finally settled down from the racetrack pace of the past two months. Thus the mundane and routine (same thing?) resume. And I become prayerful to ask for a steadfast spirit.
Distraction is something I deal with regularly. 
The image I included was captured during a particularly crazy afternoon that included car repair, a hail storm and a miscommunication {of epic proportions} with one of my sons. And, as is my habit, I clicked pics to pass the time and keep myself focused on moving through said afternoon. 
I employ {a creative methodology} to ensure perseverance doesn&amp;#8217;t completely slip away. It involves {cue cards} and {collage journaling} and {planning calendars} and {accountabili...</description>

            <title>Life in a box?</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2376644&amp;cid=t_199218_136_f&amp;fid=37858&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdessertyears.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F04%2F26%2Flife-in-a-box%2F</link>
            <description>Mac and cheese and I are old friends. I have graduated from the blue box stuff (from my college days) to the healthier version, but I still see it has one of life&amp;#8217;s staples. Sort of like &amp;#8220;instant comfort&amp;#8221; in a box! 
And that is about all I have today. Well, that, and this miscellaneous ponderings from Desserts Past. Which is where — in the 39 drafts of The Dessert Years — I found this image of my son&amp;#8217;s favorite mac and cheese.

So, this is Day 3 (or 4 &amp;#8230; I forget &amp;#8230;) of topics-to-blog popping around in my mind. Ideas that seem to stall once I begin to write. 
These ideas start in full composition. However, this composition is occurring while I dig in the dirt of my gardens!  Thus, since I do not have an assistant — equipped with a laptop! — with me...</description>

I had one this morning. Said revelation actually started dawning on me last summer &amp;#8230; It had to do with a comment made to me by a close friend.

            <description>So many times we get caught up in the notion that we don&amp;#8217;t have time. A odd notion that somehow we have time to worry about the time we don&amp;#8217;t have — instead of merely doing something with the time we have!

            <description>You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

            <description>The colors of the sky seem so much more vivid in the winter. All of my very favorite photos of the sky — sunrises, sunsets, clouds — are from cold December days.
I wonder if this reflects nature or the nature of the observer.
Perhaps a little of both?

            <description>Ever carry baggage from the previous day with you into the &amp;#8220;today&amp;#8221;? 
As I sip on my mug of café mocha (will post some recipes later &amp;#8230;) I am pondering this about myself.
Why do we do that? Why do we insist of beating ourselves over yesterday? Today has quite enough worries and anxieties of [...] (Source: The Dessert Years . . . (the sequel))</description>

            <description>For as long as I can remember I have believed I had too many words. I viewed it as some sort of curse because no matter what, I seemed to experience life verbally — way verbally! To this day, it is as though every situation has at least 12,000 words to offer me.

During the past couple of months, I have challenged myself to live up to my bio. What does that mean? 
Well, if I say I am a gardener, that means I enjoy time in my gardens. Other selected habits in my bio: writing; photography; beading; collage art; various activity and miscellany regarding social entrepreneurism.

Well, I have to admit that it appears futile for me to consider blogging and &amp;#8220;doing&amp;#8221; at the same time.

            <description>Watercolor Sky, July 2008
(the drive-home was paused to enjoy this glorious sunset&amp;#8230;)
The notion of a watercolor life comforts me.

            <description>This morning as I sipped my café mocha (comfortably situated on my patio &amp;#8230; embraced by the soothing, crisp Autumn air &amp;#8230;) the concept of &amp;#8220;in check&amp;#8221; (as in Chess) popped in my head.

            <description>Seeing &amp;#8220;home&amp;#8221; with new eyes can be a bit disconcerting. Because there are scenes which occur daily and yet are unscripted. They just happen because these scenes have become familiar. 
Said scenes are habits.
Yes, habits: an acquired-over-time pattern of behavior which occurs automatically. Habits occur without even a moment of thought or consideration regarding what [...] (Source: The Dessert Years . . . (the sequel))</description>

            <description>Just like life it&amp;#8217;s self, addiction recovery is filled with times of struggle and times of uncertainty. But also like like it&amp;#8217;s self, it is made up of way more than that. For every bad time there is a good time.
For me, this is one of those times when I&amp;#8217;m not struggling in my addiction recovery. At the moment, things seem to have fallen into place.
The only thing that I&amp;#8217;m having a hard time with right now is practicing what I preach about being able to stay in the moment. Enjoy the good times without waiting for the other shoe to drop. It&amp;#8217;s pretty difficult to realize that you don&amp;#8217;t know how to deal with even the good times in life.
