| I keep a garden journal. It helps me know when I last fed my plants, what is doing well, what is working, what isn't. |
Sometimes we have to get our mind in the right place before we try to organize... we have to find balance.
I had gathered flowers from the garden and placed them in a vase, later that day I saw some of them were wilting. I went over to investigate. As I looked closer I saw that some of the stems were not in the water.
Some days we can be that close to the water and not drink. If we place too much focus on one thing we may find other parts of life caving in.
Where is your quiet place, how long has it been since you visited? Are you taking good care of you? You feed everyone, you tend to each things need. Your eyes dart about, your mind is in constant motion always peering into the next task, even when your head is on the pillow you trek into the next day, week or year, plotting and planning to get to all the un-dones.
All I'm saying is stop, slow down....
Now breathe, nourish your soul in your quiet place today, tomorrow, write it out, it makes more sense on paper.
that's why i love you. always reminding me to breathe. stop. slow down. take care of me. wish i were sitting on the other side of that glass breakfast table this morning sipping some herbal tea looking out at your seven sister roses, plumeria, or bouganvillea. sigh. why do you have to live 1800 miles away? sniff.
