It’s the end of August. Guess what I realized? I haven’t written since June. I am having to shake my finger at myself for this. Simply because posting once a month should be no problem.
Well, one would think. However, I have discovered that not only does time swiftly flow (often like raging rapids on a river), it also seems to get lost. (I am sure it was July was just yesterday…)
So, yesterday (my literal yesterday), I realized that time is just jumping away from me and I needed to figure out why. (Stop following those bunny trails!) Or maybe how? How much time have I spent doing something that isn’t really useful? Merely to whittle away at time?
No. Seriously. There are often moments that just seemed to be used as a time-filler. Its not that I am having fun necessarily, or even doing anything that’s all that important. I just am doing something. I tend to be in perpetual motion. You know, a bit like a hummingbird’s wings, where I seem to just have to go, go, go. Move. Do. Go.
The odd thing about all this is I really enjoy quiet time. I sometimes walk out into the middle of a field, close my eyes ,enjoy the wind on my face and the warmth of the sun. I take a moment to “be”. However, I realized that I seem to be doing that less and less. So, once again, its time to come to a full stop and redirect myself.
Step one: Checking out my time fillers.
Step two: I want to put something like “using my time more wisely” or “organizing my time” but the truth is I don’t need to do either of those things. Its not that I waste time, its just that I tend to get out of balance. My time is very organized. Perhaps that is the problem. I haven’t just gone out and done anything that isn’t a part of my “routine”. So, I am going to change it up. Add my blogging into my routine along with a few other things.
Because sometimes that is what is needed most. A little bit of change to put a new perspective on the things we do.
