Hey Maya - No doubt we will all muddle through this hard stuff I saw this quote today, which was kinda apt

Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.
Colleen C. Barrett

Looking at the revision necessary, a fun approach seems far less painful. My first self directed assignment is on pace - I want to be one of those unhurried women who seem to glide about life with utmost grace. Most days, it seems like I've just taken on toooo many things on my to do list - I forget to have fun, and feel rushed.

So, Slowly's prime directive - to slow down Trust me, I'm much better now than pre-dbing, but I do recognise some backsliding - back to taking on too much. Today, I deleted more than half the things that were on my to do list - they will just have to wait. Re-set expectations with colleagues and friends. What a wonderfully liberating feeling

Another dimension to this 'un-hurriedness' is to script conversations that are likely to be tricky, especially with NG. My appreciation to Jennifer (where are you, Jennifer? we miss ya ) for illustrating the power of scripting. I've tried it, and it works. A slower pace, being perceived as an unhurried lady, will certainly allow for time to script tough chats through in my head.
