My brain knows it’s supposed to write a big, beautiful something tonight. But I just got an email marked high priority saying it’s way too swamped to do anything right now. Apparently, Brain is all wrapped up in the stress of so many New Yorkers getting laid off today because the economy decided to go on a last minute vacation. Meanwhile, the world keeps dumping all of these other tasks on Brain’s desk like work, the holidays, life goals, relationship stuff, etc. (And you know the world needed that stuff done yesterday … of course!) Brain is also involved with my friends who are going through some very similar ups and downs right now. And all of this when poor Brain is tied up trying to get the new Sarahcentric re-design up and running, which is so rockin’ Brain is scared that it might just melt!

“So Sarah, can you take care of this one little post for me? I promise, I’ll be back on track by Monday!  Thaaaaaaaaanks!  I owe you lunch at Chipotle or something!”

I cannot believe Brain is doing this to me right now! Why can’t Brain delegate responsibility and manage all of this?! Ughhh, I really need to get some personal coaching for Brain! Whatever. Not my problem! Life stuff just freaking happens. Days like this make life seem happy, thrilling, boring and a big a-hole…all at the same time. If I try to micro-manage it, the more complicated it’s going to get. So Brain can do whatever the hell it wants, but I’m not getting in the middle of all this. I’m going to let this all play out on its own.

So here’s my contribution for today with my brain out of the way. It’s a picture of me after a morning hike on the Appalachian Trail last summer. I was all agro-athlete at the beginning of the hike and quickly became cranky New Yorker when we got lost. I moved to sweaty and exhausted as we climbed higher. But I made it to the summit…quiet and peaceful. Then I hiked all the way back down and moved forward with the rest of my day.

I think this hands-off approach to life management might be just what I need right now. Brain would be making this all so much more complicated. God, can you imagine all of the meetings Brain would be calling right now?!
