Thanks for this — those little reminders that everything’s impermanent can be frightening at first, but if we take a step back and see that our appliances and our bodies and everything else are just forms taken by life — which doesn’t change — I think that can be a source of peace.

I’m of the mindset that everything happens for a reason, even if we don’t know what that reason is. If the mixer breaks, then perhaps you were supposed to run out and pick up a cake instead of baking one. And while you are out perhaps you’ll meet somebody that will change your life. You never know what the universe has in store for us.

Lately, I am having this uneasy feelings, but can not pinpoint on one issue/direction. I am not sure why and how? does it happen to you?

I’m with Wilma here, if we have too much on our plate, we lose focus and by rushing through our day the smallest hiccup can ‘ruin’ it and cause major upset.
Learning to slow down and evaluate what we’re doing is a step towards being calm and relaxed. So when the mixer breaks or your garden drainage system breaks, like ours did this week, we can choose our attitude in dealing with it. We are more equipped to say “why not today”.
Interesting how we relate to everything in our lives as being permanent, when it’s actually the opposite!

I like this mindset, Sherri – thank you for the idea!

I just had a “why today” moment this week when there was a recall on my car.

Who has time for these recalls?!

Our expectations, based on past conditioning, prevents us from living freely and fully. We become attached to our old beliefs and way of doing things that we are unable to live in the present. Indeed, making a shift to “why not today” puts power back into our hands in choosing to live deliberately from now on. Thanks for your inspiring idea!

We want control.
We live such a tight organized life, that any disturbance to our schedule upsets us.
Three hours before a party is tight for example.
Our upsetness comes from being too busy to absorb these glitches. The string it too tight.
Only when I stopped overcommitting myself, I could become unattached as I had become a lot calmer.
For me being upset and considering things wrong when they don’t go to plan, shows me that I have taken on more than I can chew.
For me these are all symptoms and have me look at all what I am doing in my life and if it is time to cut back, again.
