Since it is already mid-July, it is hard for me to realize that my life has had some huge changes since the first of the year. While going through some times of my life, life seemed endless. I was overweight, in a job I no longer loved, and a widow – alone! This life was very uncomfortable for me.
After some careful consideration, thinking, planning, and general contemplation, I set up my intentions for myself. At this time of my life, I have released 30 pounds, retired – however, temporarily, and am in a new marriage with three step furbies – puppies.
When I look back on the changes, I am amazed at how quickly the changes occurred.
Now, again, changes are happening. What I keep telling myself is that this my life and that I need to figure out how to appreciate more of what it is that is going on instead of rushing through it, wanting it to slow down, or complete some project, or just flat give me more time to do what it is that I enjoy doing.
This is mid-year…time to think about my life again and see what changes need to be made in the next six months. Some wise sage once said, “take the time to listen to what your life is saying.” When things are buzzing around, how does one do that? I can barely get into the bathroom without four or five puppies wanting to be in there with me.
I can see that for me, carving out small niches of time for me to think about what is going on is essential. Maybe more time for meditation and just taking the time to contemplate how grateful I am that my life has changed for the better and that I am now blessed with a family that is loving, supportive and cuddly.
Bless the changes. Be grateful for the changes. This is what life is and it doesn’t get any better than this.
