The Benefits of Doing Very Little :-D

Greetings, fellow Travellers! :-)

It's been a crazy-busy week this week. A certain amount of it regrettably self-inflicted. So I'm not as far as I'd like to be on various projects, and I'm painfully aware both of time inexorably passing, and that my time has not been spent as productively as it perhaps 'should' have been.

And we've hit that Word.

Should.

Should is not a friendly word. It does not raise up, neither does it support. It sits there and points an accusing finger, telling you of all the ways you have failed, in whatever big or little ways your mind comes up with.

Should is an empty word. At the same time, it is unbearably heavy. It speaks of some nameless, unwanted future, not of a joyful present.

So, ditch the 'shoulds'. Allow yourself to breathe and be in the present moment. Wherever you are, in space and time and your current project(s), it's enough for now. Time enough for progress when you have rested and restored yourself. :-)

The Question of the Day, should you choose to answer it (and I hope you will), is...

Are you taking time for yourself? :-)

Bright Blessings & Good Fortune! :-)
-Birdy! :>

Temporary place holder, so I can get at least one blog post done on the day it actually is. :-P
