I just kind of went out on a walkabout. Started with an errand (pick up new glasses) and then worked my way back. It's no tax weekend so I avoided any areas where there might be mobs of back to school kids.
I decided to stop in at pier one cause I just want a simple bistro table and I was even willing to pay full price (although there was a big sale going on....)...but alas, even departure from the sale rule couldn't give me what I wanted.
So I got the stuff to build one. Broke another rule-it's okay to wack and cut on stuff from the goodwill-but I'm getting ready to do major renovations to an expensive (for me) and audacious ceramic platter-pictures to follow.
Ironically, the frame I aready had-yes, I bought another soon to be bird stand and poor Oliver is going to lose out again.
i wanted to write: you are not that kind of person to let any block halt your journey... you find another way... or you may climb it or make a tunnel through it.... and now that i'm reading the comment above, see it's true...
One of my favorite quotes that I'm sure you're familiar with bears repeating. "It's not the destination, but the journey that makes it all worthwhile." Stumbling included :)
thank you for this very simple, very profound statement. i have seen the stumbling block time and time again and let something that could neither speak nor move stop me from my destiny. pray that i don't trip while willing my foot over it this time.

I just wander around having my experiences and and thinking, "This spiritual journey is a pain in the ass, but it is interesting."
HB-you are so right. I'm learning to see the block, accept the block is there, and then move around it.
BBC-I am happieset of all when I do just that.
