So, I nearly made it this time as far as the blog challenge. Not quite under the wire, but at least I got to z this time. Good challenge fellow bloggers! I got busy yesterday at work and didn't get my z's in. It happens. I'm pretty low key about these things. In the end, it does not matter that I'm typing this 12 hours past August. I do work at trying to maintain zen-like composure as much as possible. Try to be a 'look at something's importance in the big scheme of things' kind of person. Of course this is not always doable for me, but there are definitely things that used to put me over the edge that barely phase me anymore. I do know people, however, who can turn ANY situation into a zen moment at the drop of a hat. They are zealously zen. One might say over-zealously zen. "I have been given a wonderful opportunity for growth!" they might exclaim upon loosing their job. It all happens for a purpose! Change is exciting! Everything holds a lesson! And maybe it does. I am usually able to come around to that view of events. But sheesh, people, sometimes one has to rail on a bit before whatever seemingly crappy thing that just happened turns itself inside out so that one can see the silver lining. You know what I mean? Sometimes it is more a matter of cutting down the time I spend totally losing it than being zen about something from minute one.

zealously zen

Ok, I posted this on Wednesday, thinking it was September, and yet it was still August 31st. And then I totally forgot the letter Y altogether. It's been a zoo here this week. So it's either that or a brain tumor. I worry sometimes.
