It's early morning on the eve of Thanksgiving. I should be getting ready for work, but instead I am messing around with my blog trying to make it look just right. It amazes me how very much I missed writing and how much it can really help a person gain perspective during the trials of life, but it can also be a way to express those good things that are happening too. Often times as adults, we are so caught up with our daily tasks, getting the kids ready for school, getting ourselves ready for work, making sure everyone is on time, lunches are made or at least making sure the lunch account has money in it for the day; and that is usually only the start of our long, hectic days. It is so easy to forget about our passions and even easier to forget to make time for them.
As children and even young adults, we never realized just how good we had it. We just can't wait to get to that next chapter in life, because that means we are adults and adults get to do whatever they want! While this is certainly true, what we take for granted is that we have all of the time in the world to pursue our dreams, passions and goals with very minimum responsibility yet. My how fast that changes!
Today though, I have decided to take a few minutes to write. I have a sink full of dishes that I should be doing, there is certainly laundry that could be folded, and I probably should have been in the shower about a half hour ago, but you know what? - All of those things will be there when I get home or even tomorrow if I decide. I have the luxury of only having one kiddo to get ready this morning, and luckily it's the easy going one so it really doesn't hurt to take a few minutes out of the day to do something I love and am enjoying all over again. It's something I certainly want to make more time to do, even if it's only a few minutes during each day. I think that's important for each of us to do! Take a few minutes out of every single day to do something you love! Something you maybe haven't done for awhile. Something you forgot just how much you enjoyed until you start doing it again!
As I am sitting here drinking my coffee and eating animal crackers for breakfast, I feel at peace with life. I am so very thankful for quiet mornings and hot coffee before the busy, hectic day begins. And I am thankful to be taking a few minutes for myself today, even if that means sacrificing a clean house. Oh darn!
Animal crackers for breakfast anyone?
