I find myself every week with such good intentions, to do the Happy Homemaker Monday thing and keep some kind of a semblance of regular blogging. And then time gets away from me and things get all crazy rushed and then I'm doing the second, third, fourth load of laundry...and...and...and.
I wish time would slow down. But honestly, time's doing what it's always done. Maybe time's not the problem. Maybe I am.
I need to slow down. It's been my mantra for YEARS. It's what my Dad yelled at me about until his dying day. Slow. Down. Take care of yourself.
I do slow down. I do notice things. More than I used to, for sure, but still not as much as I probably should. Goose helps me to slow down. I'm actively forcing myself. I looked at her face the other day. Gone is the chubby-cheeked cherub toddler girl. She looks so grown up. Were her eyes always that wise? Did she always know those words?
Time marches on, for sure. And the seasons are changing. There are buds on the alder trees.
I can wear light sweaters most days and not freeze my tail off. I dress like an elderly hippie, and I'm loving that.
And the tiniest sliver of a new moon the other day.
Love this post my Friend. And such wise words. I think taking pics helps me live in the moment more too and cherish it all. I hope you continue to do your best to take care of yourself!! You are amazing and a spiritual Sister Friend I absolutely cherish! Blessings on the rest of your week. Yay Spring showing up in your neck of the woods! 💚💚💚
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, I feel much the same, it feels like time passes so much quicker now that I'm older, whereas back in the day it was like a summer lasted forever. I read somewhere that when you're young you do lots of new things and you are learning new things and experiencing new things, and so time seems slower. So I'm trying to do new things each week, just little things. I also dress like an old hippy too! haha Have a lovely week x
