Sure, I could be looking through depos to prepare for trial, or reviewing production for exhibits lists; I could put away the dishes or start the laundry, I could do a myriad of things that need to be done. Or, I could just be.
Its so easy to get caught up in the "must dos" of life. Between work, church, social life, I often forget to enjoy the small moments of life. Even on the weekends, its a schedule of getting up , getting to the gym, grocery store, errands, so I get home and do work around the house and catch up on work from the week. It can be exhausting. People ask me all the time how I relax, or what I do to have fun, and I stop, pause for that awkward 10-15 seconds and say read? workout?
How sad is it that my "relaxation" is a scheduled activity I squeeze in at 5am during the week? Or reading means depos versus a good ole fashioned book? When did life get so hectic? When did life stop being fun and become all work? When did I forget that Saturday mornings are for pancakes and puppies?
Take time to count your blessings this week. To take in the sunshine, a good rerun of your favorite show and to enjoy pancakes with your puppies--if they stay awake long enough.
Pancakes and puppies are the BEST! Glad you were able to take some time to enjoy both - you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE me some pancakes and puppies! New Saturday tradition?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt is frustrating when life gets in the way of just being. But, like you said, those 'just living life moments' are some of the best!
I couldn't agree with you more--it's SO easy to get caught up in the hub-bub of every day that those small moments get easily lost. I'm glad you were able to take some time to enjoy them...pancakes and pups....what's better?? :)
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree with you on this! We always rush through the day hoping for something better or looking forward to something in the distance, when what we are doing right now is also good and should be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteGreat post today, remembering how wonderful life is can be hard at times, it is always nice when you sit back and are thankful for all you have.
ReplyDeleteLIFE is just so busy! I shouldve packed more last night but was actually lazy and sat on couch to watch The Voice. I regret nothing! I love pancakes and puppies idea for sure.
