The other day I had a huge chuckle — that then shapeshifted into a really good Aha awareness!
Okay, you are likely familiar with the idea of, “Would you rather be right, or would you rather be happy?” Me, too. And it’s a good one to spend some time sitting with. Then, I read Pam Grout’s blog post that referenced a book title called “Do you want to be right or do you want to be married?” Ha ha haaa, I got a kick out of that one. Yes, there is wisdom in there as well. And we could find any number of words that, to an individual, describe happy relationship. Would you rather be right, or would you rather be in a healthy relationship? Be employed? Have friends?

I’m really good at seeing what needs to be done, and taking it on. I’ve got to create that presentatiom for work. Ooo, meals for this week and grocery shopping. Return that client phone call. The dog needs a bath, sooner than later. We need the contact info for the HVAC company, where is that folder of contractors? My book ideas are coming hard and fast, I gotta make some notes. The grass needs mowing. What’s in this week’s farm box? Laundry could happen pretty soon.
