What to Do? HaHaHa!
Monday mornings I plan my week.
And the Universe replies,
HAHAHA!
This has been going on for many years. I don't figure it will stop any time soon.
I don't plan to stop writing my lists (on my computer no less) and moving some items forward week after week. I doubt the Universe will be quitting on me as long as I'm doing these lists.
So what does this hilarious laughter from the Great Spirit mean?
It doesn't mean don't make lists. It doesn't mean my lists are more idiotic than most people's... I've considered the possibility but no, I don't think it means that.
It's close to this proverb:
Trust in God, but tie your camel.
That's a saying attributed to the prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) and carries the meaning that God needs us to be His hands.
I think the laughter I always hear with my inner ear when I wrap up making a nice big list is a reminder that now it's up to me to do what I can and that it absolutely won't look exactly like that list.
Do you hear that laughter too?

Hi Rosana.
Thomas a Kempis said: "Man proposes, but God disposes."
Grenadians have a saying: "An empty sack cannot stand, a full sack cannot bend."
Taken together, I perhaps it behoves us to take the middle way as proposed by the Buddha.
"Trust in God, but tie your camel" 😊😜
That's like the joke about a man who complained to God that He hadn't helped the man win the lottery. A voice came down from Heaven: "Okay, but do Me a favour, **buy** a ticket!"
Methinks we together are not so very far apart on this.
Regards,
We're very close, Tayo! Your joke reminds me of a similar one. A man is working on the roof of his house when he starts to slide.
"Lord, save me!" he cries. Then: "Never mind, God, my shirt caught on a nail."
Rosanna....this reminds me so much of a story about my Dad, who was a COWBOY. There was quite a crowd gathered as he, with some helpers, crossed the Colorado river with his cattle.. When asked, by some city guy," Buck, why doesn't your horse run away when you haven't tied him up?". Dad answered in his slow drawl,,,,TIIIRRRRED.
Haha, that truly is funny. I just imagine the camel wandering off into the night and then someone waking up and cursing god for the loss. Take action!!
Me too im late right now but eager to work .i havent had a paycheck it 17 weeks now and the bills are still coming in. Got to soak up some knowledge fast
The Quakers have one I really like, too: "Pray and move your feet."
I guess we can't sit around and wait on the universe, unless we, too, want to hear that laughter.
I try making lists and then prioritizing the items. But then I find I spend too much time preparing, and not enough time doing. But, then again, things do not get done that should have been done.
Oh, what to do?!!
My favorite task notebook says “organized chaos” on it. That is usually how it is for me too lol 😆.
That gave me a good belly laugh!
Well yes it normally is ONE voice but it carries a lot of power, or I could say gravitas.
