I love the words on the picture she posted. There are times, many times, when my life feels like I am in a cement mixer or washing machine on steroids... everything is crazy. How do you take pause? Almost as if you know things are going to change, but what lies around the corner may have nothing to do with the present moment... you just know something is coming. The drum just keeps turning and we never stop.
Sometimes it happiness, sometime its turmoil, sometimes what you might expect, yet other times chaos. Demands at work, at home, in meeting the obligations... it's just never ending. Nice when it is on the lower end of the stress spectrum, but the drum keeps turning, never stopping. A constant churn. We don't take enough time to pause and soak all the goodness in, and there is goodness, despite the negatives you think are there.
This picture reminds me, we must find a way to step back and take a break. Our sanity, our health, our ability to be a something special in the life of someone else depends on it. I thought I had figured out how to take pause, it isn't working, my drum keeps turning. My health, physical and mental well being are being eaten away because I have not found a way to take pause.
This post is about you, not me. I don't want you to fall into the same traps, feel the same pain or to continue on without taking pause now and then as I have done. I want you to have a better opportunity. Step back and find your method. Smell the roses, forget the drama, the demands.... be happy for today and those around you, those that do love you. That's really all that matters.
Someone out there loves you and needs you. Be there for them. (((hugs)))
