God moves in mysterious ways and I’ll be danged if I can figure it out sometimes. For the past 2 years the challenges have come fast and furious and all the while I thought “Let’s try something new. Let’s keep marching.
Let’s not even take the boots off. Let’s keep up the momentum and see what happens.”
Ouch.
I lost sight of self care, never a good idea. I did things I thought were very important but as usual it cost me. There’s that saying about women wanting it all – marriage, kids, a career. It’s my opinion that yes, we can have it all – but – it’ll cost ya.
Deep in our hearts we all know something’s gotta give and some of us can map it out and be very strategic about the trade offs. Others, like me, just wing it, believing that if I stop to analyze I’ll end up in paralysis.
So now, here I sit… in something similar to paralysis. I’ve been stopped. Boots off.
Looking back, looking forward and trying my best to relax. To be here, right now with big puffy rain clouds drifting by and my little dog at my elbow sleeping. It’s so quiet. The house is empty. Why make trouble?
Everything really is ok, everything good takes time – if the universe wanted me to be doing otherwise I’m sure I would be. It’s these down times, these empty spaces between my big deal events that probably make every other thing in my life possible anyway.
