Karen,
I’m so glad you had fun! I love the line, “The true arts of ‘making due’ is the ability to be at peace” no matter how much/little we have and the image of falling into an indentation. Thank you for sharing your words! Cissy

It’s ok when your options are limited, but becomes a problem when you get stuck in the “making due rut”. A rut develops when you follow the same path repeatedly and over time creates an indentation that you fall into and just stay in, because it’s easier than trying to avoid it.

Although we should avoid falling into ruts, there’s also something beneficial about “making due”. We can’t always have what we want, when we want it, the way we want it. In fact, there’s no peace to be found in selfishness.

The true art of “making due” is the ability to be at peace, no matter you much, or how little we have.

That’s making due.

That was fun,
Karen
