New tires

It took dealing with an unusual number of obstacles, but today I finally managed to get the tires on our car replaced.

Considering that it’s really a rather mundane task, you wouldn’t think I’d feel so excited.

But it took three separate appointments…and I have a drive to the Bay Area coming up in just a few days.

So, yeah. It’s a relief to have it done.

Mundane tasks of no great import

Then there are days full of mundane tasks, things of no great import. Except that they’re part of helping one’s life to function smoothly.

I can sometimes reach the end of such days and get down on myself for not doing “more” of what’s “important.”

Hence the reminder to be kind to myself. It also helps to remember the need for ebb and flow, for peaks and valleys.

Oh, right! BALANCE.
