The saying goes, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Well i have a few lemons in my life that are really not conducive to what I want to be doing. When your spirit is saying, "I need to have fun and take a break!" but your calender is saying, "you have 15 more things to go" I am kind of at a loss of what I should do.
At that point, I decide to just stop. Sit in the middle of my path (my life) and just be still. I know there are things to get done and I know what I really want to do, but there are just times you need to sit down on the ground, on my dirt path that leads to who knows and just breathe. Just feel the breeze and smell the sweet air and stop. It brings me back down to reality and helps me think clearly again.
In this day and age, we all get caught up in moving too quickly. Sometimes it's just nice to slow down and experience life, rather than let it rush right past you. The moments that we remember, the really special ones, are the ones where everything slowed down, if only for a second, so that we could taste, touch, hear, or feel everything about that one sliver in time. Think if we tried to do that once everyday. Just stopped to smell a freshly bloomed rose, or looked up to the brilliant blue sky and let the sun radiate down on your skin. To actually feel its warmth seep into you and make you feel alive. We would all live so much more fully and actually be content.
To enjoy the small intangible things, is to live life how it was meant to be lived... Start today. I know I am.
