Where are the Blue Skies?

On days like today I find my spirit, and emotional being, is often affected. Today is a typical dreary late November day. The wind is angrily blowing the trees to and fro. A dark overcast looms about. The sun seems to have forgotten to rise today. I am completely unmotivated. I have no desire to cook, clean, or even read. Reading is my love and I cannot even muster the smallest amount of energy to stir my desire. I cannot wait for the sun to return and the wind's temper to calm but for now I will sit at my desk continuing to find reasons not to finish my work.

When I Grow Up...

In the Blink of an Eye

It happens so quickly that we don't always recognize it happening. Slowly moment by moment, day by day, and then year by year. We become caught up in the distraction called life. We get jobs, bills need to be paid, and families are born. We begin to loose ourselves among the chaos. We become so busy ensuring the mundane tasks are performed that we forget to take a few minutes for ourselves. At first a week goes by where we don't write in our journal, go for a hike in the woods, or have a coffee with a beloved friend. Before we know it has been years since we've taken the time for ourselves. In the blink of an eye it seems we loose who we used to be.\

Today: I'm taking that moment to reclaim who I used to be, ME.
