I am thoroughly enjoying my job and yesterday ran an event and noticed I felt so at ease. It is using a lot of my gifts and I really like how every day is so different. It wasn't all delightful tho. The kitchen entrance had an open child gate on it, and for some reason, every single time I entered the kitchen, I bumped my thigh on the frame. By the afternoon I was developing a bruise on the bruise and it was rather tender. I was really surprised that I kept not learning, but repeating my mistake despite the pain. One colleague said that next time she'd have to remove the frame for me. I'm not sure how easy that would be but it got me thinking. How many times do we make the same error before we start to do something differently? And might it sometimes be worth removing the source of pain if we really are struggling to adjust?
I'm a big believer in our ability to develop, to learn from our failings. But it's good to be open to other options. Maybe next time I could take a little cushion or something, to tape over the offending sticky out bit?
Today I wish you ease for the things that repeatedly bruise you.
