Welcome!

Welcome, whether you're new to my stuff or an old reader, to Farfalla (previously Coming Later, lately Ooh! Shiny!). The butterfly imagery, in addition to being just plain adorable, is indicative of the blog's changes over the past year or so, but no worries; I'm having as much fun as ever and I hope that's apparent.
I hope you enjoy, and as always,

Today...

...I will listen to people's problems and empathise, rather than "topping" theirs with my woes. CS Lewis said pain is immeasurable, and he knows what he's talking about.
...I will treat every task and issue with the same amount of enthusiasm I gave the first one.
...I will give the first task a nauseating amount of enthusiasm.
...I will drop my drama at the door.
...I will remember every group is made up of individuals.
...I will take care of myself and keep myself safe without drawing attention.
...I will model the behaviours I want rather than complain about the ones I don't want.
...I will be focused on the solutions and answers rather than the problems and questions.
...I will be aware of opportunities to learn new things.
...I will prioritise in the best interests of those around me, not my own.
...I will keep smiling.

...I will live in such a way that I will not have to write a list tomorrow.

  2. Sometimes the only way to mend a crappy day is to promise yourself you'll do everything right tomorrow. :)

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~ Anonymous

Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time. ~ Deborah Chaskin

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
