I won\u2019t be able to find anything at first.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so my phone is really old. It\u2019s pretty pitiful. I knew this day would come. So, I have insurance on the phone and I get to have it replaced with a newer version for a deductible fee \u2013 a whole lot less than the $700 for a new phone. I\u2019m good with that!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" title=\"Peace in Unfolding\" data-id=\"2594\" src=\"\/\/thedivinefellowship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Peace-in-Unfolding.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"345\" height=\"280\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, after sending several sets of documents in to the insurance company and babying the old phone, I\u2019ll be ready for the new one. It took the agony of dealing with recharging the phone several times a day and turning off the mobile data for me to become willing to accept and even welcome change.<\/p>\n<p>I think change is hard on all of us. We hold on to what we know even if it no longer serves us. (At least I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the only one who resists change!) Sometimes the Universe asks us to move forward into something new and wonderful and we resist because the act of changing feels difficult. The Universe then asks more loudly for us to shift and move into something beautiful and new. Do we jump into the new effortlessly?<\/p>\n<p>NOPE! Not me, anyway. I like the familiarity of the old. My auto pilot functions just fine here. Gotta love that auto-pilot. . . no thinking, just automatically cruising along. Not really enjoying life, but not getting into difficulty either. Just hovering and getting the little tasks done that deem themselves necessary in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Eerk! Gotta pull myself up short on that one! Just cruising is fine if you are on a cruise ship. Just cruising mindlessly through life robs me of all the possible joy available in each moment.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, I don\u2019t need to concentrate on every tooth while I\u2019m brushing my teeth, auto-pilot can assist with that and free my brain to consider other things. Yet, without attentiveness, I may push too hard on the brush and do damage. Or, I may miss a spot that could lead to decay. Hmmm. Best be a bit mindful even of teeth brushing. So, how is brushing one\u2019s teeth joyful? I have teeth! I get to keep them clean so they bless my smile! I get to . . . brush my teeth!<\/p>\n<p>When I allow myself to move with the directives brought by the Universe, I move into a state of \u201cget to.\u201d I get to do whatever is in my heart to do, and I get to do that with joyful intent. I get to learn to utilize a new phone! I certainly hope only a limited number of swear words are necessary before I become an accomplished user of my new phone. If not swear words, at least I hope I\u2019m saved from moments of exasperation and frustration. I get to be patient with myself as I learn to navigate the new system. I get to be intrigued by any new formatting.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we wait for the new phone to arrive. I get to nurse the old phone just a little while longer and hope it stays alive long enough to transfer data over. I get to be okay with that, too.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve created a new definition of patience \u2013 it is peace in the unfolding. I get to be at peace while this situation unfolds. I cannot rush it by becoming impatient. I cannot delay it by being stuck in the old pattern. I get to be in a holding pattern but without struggle or difficulty. At least in this moment. I may make a new choice in the next five minutes and become exasperated. Or, I may choose to be with this as it unfolds \u2013 neither dreading nor fretting.<\/p>\n<p>We shall see . . . let\u2019s hope I choose peace in the unfolding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My phone is wasting away.
