Too Easy 12.21.11

Too Easy   12.21.11

That’s how I feel a lot these days, too Easy.

Where’s my drive?

I take everything too easy.

Just gliding along no sense of urgency,

the furnace fails, my tire fails, upset I’m not.

Lackadaisical I am,

muddling through day after day.

Should be ready for Christmas but I’m not.

Should care that I’m not but I don’t.

So where do I go from here?

Where’s the spark?

To put me back on course, where’s the drive?

Lost, not really, but it’s just the human stuff that used to fire me up.

Like falling behind at work, really doesn’t fire me up anymore.

I just figure I’ll get it done when I get it done.

Maybe that’s the point.

I’ve seen a different side of life.

I realize there’s a lot more to life than before.

But here I sit at the end of the day.

When I began this post, I had a dead furnace and a flat tire.

At the end, I have new tires on my car and a new furnace on the way.

I never got upset; I never went nuts over what happened.

I just dealt with it and moved past it.

So maybe it’s not too easy or no drive.

Maybe it’s just a new way of dealing with issues,

without making mountains out of them.

The ego loves making mountains out of things.

The spirit loves making peace with things.

Ponder that I will.

but it's your choice whether to let it affect you or not.
