I have been slowed down this week by a cold = being stopped by circumstance. I know I need to look after myself when I am not well, but it even stopped me from making phonecalls, it’s not like you can’t talk just because you have a runny nose. At times I am way too profecient in looking after myself, to the point that I am making myself unwell with kindness (over indulging in my favorite foods).

Anyway, this post is about how that ‘kick’ up the back side can come from out of the blue.

The next network meeting is also a home intro. I had some phonecalls to make, but was not getting into it, and the couple of people I DID ring were not interested in being part of the network anymore which really suited my nasty act (’you dont want me’). The room captain rang to say that although we had agreed to communicate tuesday, we were really leaving it too late especially since we had not formulated a possibility for the evening. I suggested ‘passion and completion’. After that call, I really had a change of pace and not only did I complete the last phonecalls that had been lurking for a good week I managed to tidy up the kitchen and do the dishes in record time.

I have never really looked at the centre as a resource, I have been phoning friends when I have been needing a ‘kick’ but I must admit there is some power in having someone neutral listen and be a stand for my possibility when my backbone is giving in.
