Horray!
You can all find me now! My friend, Star, fixed my computer glitch - which was, as usual, operator error. (That would be me.)
So, today's big question. When do you know when to leave "well enough" alone? Let me rephrase. How old do you have to be before you can look around you and say, "yes, this is good" and be happy with that assessment? Maybe the question should be if we should EVER get to the point when we accept "good". Should we leave that yarn unwound - enjoy the fact that it's just a hank of woven wool? Or do we feel the need to "fix" it, make it "better", by winding it into something neat and tight and controlled? Is this even a "how old do you have to be" question? Maybe it's a "when do we get wise enough" question. I wonder if, at some point, I received some sort of "enough" message and now it's the best I think I can do/be? Ya' know? At what point to we say "this may be good enough for you but "I" need it to be better for me." The downside of that, though, is you really have to have the courage to stick to your guns - risking that whatever you are trying to fix, i.e., marriage, friendship, parental relationships....really any kind of human interaction you can think of, may have to end or if not end, may change in ways you don't fully expect. How do we know how tightly to wind that yarn? Think on these things my thought-y friends and let me know what you come up with!
In other news - I spoke with my maid who was a bit taken aback but, when confronted with the proof of her half-assedness, is willing to clean to my standards from now on. And, I didn't even say "OR ELSE." (I was trying to be a big person). My spine is still weak and wobbly - didn't have the conversation with my friend and haven't called my yoga instructor yet.........but I will. Promise.
And now, off to eat lunch and go about the usual stuff of life.
Be good to yourselves!

Your question of the day is a good/hard one...I think there has to be a balance between always striving to expand your consciousness (which will better your life in myriad ways), and appreciating where you are right now (because right now is pretty freaking holy-awesome).
It is a major part of my spiritual practice to acknowledge and ACCEPT (even EMBRACE) every little thing as it is in this very moment, and be perfectly content with it...while also knowing that I am going to change it, evolve it, and annihilate it on my way through my ever expanding life.
Nothing stays the same, so contentment doesn't last for more than a moment anyway. That's why you have to be in the moment (so you can catch that fleeting moment of contentment, lol).
