Saturday morning, I had a scene to write, a birthday party to prepare for, and myriad other morsels that were vying for my attention. I couldn't decide where to throw my energy first. How to prioritize. Then, I remembered a saying from a friend of mine--a saying that has been a mainstay of her sobriety (22 years), and that's the AA phrase: pause when agitated or doubtful.<br /><br />So I paused, and then it became quite clear that I needed to take a walk and sort it all out. Lo and behold, a 45 minute brisk walk up the hills near my house led me to a creative epiphany with the aforementioned scene, a solution to the "goody bag" dilemma for my son's bday party, and grounded me enough to realize that everything I needed to make the day a success would emerge in due order.<br /><br />And it did!<br /><br />-SuzySuzy Vitellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836144962952322322noreply@blogger.com
