The next month is gonna be a whirlwind 🌪️
Life’s not always a chill ride, and I’ve learned to just roll with it even when things get hectic or overwhelming. Most of the time, everything turned out just fine. Sure, there were moments when it got tough or when unexpected results threw me off. But I’ve never been one to worry too much in advance. Maybe it’s because I don’t overthink things. 🤷♂️
This time, though, it’s a bit different. There’s a mountain of tasks piling up, each as unique as the next. Never in my not-so-short life have I faced something quite like this. The thought, ‘Can I really handle all of this?’ creeps in. Some tasks I can tackle solo, just me and my desk, figuring things out. But when it comes to interacting and negotiating with others, it’s not so straightforward. You have to be attentive and considerate of the other person’s perspective. Not exactly my favorite thing. 😅
As I attempt to organize the ever-growing pile of tasks like a game of Tetris, I find myself stopping suddenly. Acknowledging the sheer amount of work is uncomfortable. So now, I just jot tasks down in my calendar and, like a horse with blinders, focus on only what’s due today. 🐴
Step by step, like climbing a staircase,
Marching forward, eyes on the heels of the person in front,
Walking the Camino de Santiago,
If I just keep going, mid-October will be here before I know it. A month can pass by in a flash. Whether everything will be perfectly sorted out or not, who knows? But by then, everything – even summer – will be over. In four weeks, they say my torn ankle ligament will have healed, too. 🌟
Looking at it this way, this autumn might turn out to be pretty alright. 🍂
