The Tyranny of Time.
Trying to not let time control me. I rush, and press, and hurry through my life. Missing beauty, a potential quiet moment, or a special connection with someone. Why do I run. The Bible says, "the race is not always to the swift." I want to Remain in the Present. To see. To be. To not worry about "what's next". My new goal.
Being.

I saw this quote on someone else's blog and it really made me think about choices and habits....
Dear Self,
To stand up has never been so hard.
To do what’s right in spite of what you want
To see how it affects the futures of me
To speak the uncanny words “Maybe it’s not meant to be”
To stop before it goes too far
However to stop is too hard
But I will not remain sitting in the chair of uncertainty
A chair that feels like home to me.

Contentment

"I have searched frantically for contentment for so many years in so many ways, and all these acquisitions and accomplishments--they run you down in the end. Life, if you keep chasing it so hard, will drive you to death. Time--when pursued like a bandit--will behave like one; always remaining one country or room ahead of you, changing its name and hair color to elude you, slipping out the back door of the motel just as you're banging through the lobby with your newest search warrant, leaving only a burning cigarette in the ashtray to taunt. At some point you have to stop because IT WON"T. You have to admit you can't catch it. That you're not supposed to catch it. At some point, you gotta let go and sit still and allow contentment to come to you. Try dropping your drivenness and chasing; instead let God fill you up with Himself!" Liz Gilbert

Wouldn't you love to be laying out here...

I feel like going to the beaches or the mountains today...think I'll try one of these...

Inspiration!! Try out a rock for tomorrow!

Feeling light and free today...just a relaxing, content day. Went to Starbucks with my family...good times.
This woman depicts the joy and freedom I feel today....

Had the best time in Sun River with my hubby and kids. Laughter, walks in the snow, painting pottery, cooking Christmas dinner, a puzzle making race, and connecting. Family is the best!
