The last few months have been packed with experiences, yet in all the frenzy I have been uninspired to write. I do not push these things, which is why I haven't posted in so long. I think I am just tired. I've traveled a lot for work, and accomplished a lot in wedding planning, but the lightness of life is just not there. Not today anyways. Basically I want my life to slow down a bit so I can just relax. I am going to start working on that. Maybe my creativity for writing will come back to me then. Until that time, this is it.
I did see a pertfect double rainbow last week. It made me think of the Chinese translation of the phrase Double Happiness. I'll go my happy place now...mallard ducks on a log, my dog running beside my bike on a trail, a fire in the fireplace, fish in a pretty aquarium, the fruit of your garden, sleepy.

You have just re-discovered your "lightness of life" in your own blog. As you said, going to your happy place "mallards, dog, fireplace, etc...
ReplyDeleteLike all of us, you keep looking into the future of all the things that "have to get done" and move yourself into a frenzied state. I know I sound like a broken record player, but just remember, stay present. When your doing the wedding invitations, running errands, running, whatever....don't think of the next thing you have to do while you are already doing something, just stay present in the one thing your doing at that moment, enjoy it while your getting it done. Play your ipod when your cleaning, or organizing. You will be surprised how much faster and efficiently you get things done when you just slow down. We all know this, when we work ourselves into a frenzy cuz we are in a hurry and then a million things go wrong!! Your trying to get out of the house and you drop your keys, the door doesn't shut properly, you have to go back in b/c you forgot something, and then what we so hurriedly try to do takes double the time.
It's worth just sitting down at those times, closing your eyes, pet your dog, massage your feet until your heart slows down, then get up and try again but with patience and reverence for yourself.
I myself and doing these same things. Although I have been blessed lately with too much time, but still learning to just breath. It's difficult at times, because like you, my mind keeps going to the future when I should be in the Now. practice practice, it does get easier I've discovered.
Love love to you.
