I put together my list of possibilities with what I have. Actually there's an app I discovered called Big Oven that I just love. Enter three items and it sends you a choice of recipes.
How much of life do I plan and how much of life is trying to make the most of three ingredients? Which is the better skill?
The old way, I sat down on a weekend and wrote out long complicated well balanced meals and then got tripped up when somebody had a soccer game rescheduled or a last minute parent meeting at school.
Granted now it's just me, but putting in tuna, rice, and celery can mean add an apple and onion and there's a salad, or carrots and a bay leaf and there's soup.
When I feel like I need to be really on top of my life, I can look at the biggest three items going on in my life at the present moment and focus on combining those. I call it Big Life!
Love,
Deborah
About Me
- The Social Contemplative
- What does it mean to be a social contemplative? A person who has spent a lot of time reflecting on a very busy life with diverse experiences that have , in spite of herself, yielded a lot of wisdom she wishes to pass on to others. Deborah loves people but recharges her batteries alone. Sitting in the presence of her own life is mandatory. Reflection and centering happen in the midst of the whirl of a populated world. Born on the East Coast, living all her adult life on the West Coast she is a hybrid of cultures. She is a mom, a writer, and a teacher who sings, reads and swims for fun. And yes she is ordained, but don’t hold that against her. She believes we are more than conquerors and most days there’s a smile on her face because she deals with life in real time. She’s a whole lot funnier than this description makes her sound. Lastly, it’s important to know she’s a paper and pencil gal in a digital world.
