In the last week, I was explaining to someone my schedule for the next three weeks and she said, ‘Mary, your life is not normal.’ And she’s right. Then I had someone, who I care deeply about, tell me that ‘I always talk about slowing down but I never really do.’ If you follow the blog much, I write a lot about resting…yet I am reeeeeallly bad at it. Always have been. It’s an age old story of trying to do too much and having a hard time with the idea that I ‘can’t do it all.’ If I’m honest, Internet, I like to think that I really can do it all. Superwoman. Well, recently it dawned on me that I can blog all I want but having healthy margin in my life and schedule is crucial. I know this may seem funny that I’d just now be getting this but it is true. Busyness doesn’t automatically equal success or happiness. Sometimes it just equals busyness. This is nothing new, it’s just the continuing progression of my understanding of not only what it means to slow down…but how to put it in to practice. Here’s to trying to teach myself to not fill every moment and to be still!
Happy Friday!
