I've been a little distant from my blog, this I know! I say this all the time, but I hate the excuse of busyness. You ask how someone is doing, and they say 'busy.' In my words, busy is the new good. It used to be that people would just say 'good' to politely answer the question and move on. The same is true, its just a different response. We are busy.
But who isn't really? I mean, we all think we are the most busy and even further, with the most pressing things to do. Allow me to speak truth into my own life at least. Its all a lie. I'm not as busy as I think I am, nor am I as important as I think I am.
No doubt there are pressing things to do--things that really do matter and are up against deadlines. But not everything. Its just a mask I hide behind hoping people will really believe I'm that important.
I write all this to say that I have felt really busy. I do a poor job of planning 'transition time' into my day, so I run from point A to B to C back to A and then to D. All the while life has to happen, bills have to be paid, relationships maintained and rest acquired. Dare I say, I'm busy.
In seasons like this, I need to take a step back and evaluate. Where is my time being chewed up and if I had the minutes, what would I really enjoy doing! I've gotta cut the former out to add the latter. So thats what I'll do. I'm gonna cut out the long list of things I do daily and add in some extra reading time on my back porch. Time to wash my car by hand. Time to sit and watch a movie, just because. Minutes to go walking at sunset and minutes write.
Busy or not, I find myself misaligned. Writing is one of the things I love most, so hopefully, I'll find time to share a few thoughts.
Blessings.

So true! One of my favorite things about my trip to the Dominican Republic in January was to see how differently the people handled time.
We joked that we were on "DR time"= not in a hurry! Seriously, the people in the DR know something that we don't---savor each moment of life or it will pass you by!
