Your musings today make me think of this little phrase: Where attention goes, energy flows, that's what grows. You write, "Where to focus and where to let go." Concentration is problematic for me. It is more a cyclical aspiration than anything. My attention is constantly flitting around - perhaps not ever giving any one thing the proper amount of attention. I suppose letting go is the same, though I feel more practiced and skillful in this area.
I'll admit that an inventory feels like a scary prospect for me right now, too. Looking back and/or looking forward too closely doesn't feel wise for me in this moment. But, as Lynn said, you have planted the seed. Maybe one day.... :-)
The beginnings of the "inventory" list came to me, as ideas often do, as I was falling asleep. I felt there was a pattern and purpose to it. For me, it felt good to look back and see that I navigated various challenges and changes over the past few years.
It sounds like an amazing cleansing and nourishing experience, a catharsis and an affirmation. The time was ripe! It is lovely when these come to us. What a gift!

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Lori!

What an inventory! I am almost afraid to do my own. But you have planted the seed.
Yes, it's been an "interesting" few years for sure! For all of us.
