if you can scratch out a few moments to just listen to all the sounds outside, the birds, the rushing sound of a car splashing through puddles, dogs barking off in the distance, all the while finding a second to gulp your coffee up while it is still hot, well, I think that would make it just so.
This week I am hoping to be a bit more mindful of the quiet and the loud. mindful of our family and the way we can create a bit more space for being together, even when we are at our separate corners of our (very tiny) house. I will try to be mindful of the quiet amidst all this chaos around me -some days it is just so hard to do. Though there are times I am not quite as present as I would like to be, I AM hoping to be a bit more mindful...maybe even mindful enough to: listen in on the quiet, gulp down some coffee while its still hot, all the while enjoying every second the boys are very loud, and very inside the house.
Hi Rebecca... I am so glad you stumbled upon Poppy Haus, because I so enjoyed reading this post (I always have two cups of warmish-cold coffee) and I'm excited to dive in and check out your blog!

Reading this just made me feel more focused and peaceful. I try my best to start each day with a little journal riding and quiet time. However its the first thing to go when things get busy (exercise is a close second), yet both of those things help me stay present. We must make time for ourselves. Thank you for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteit is always good to feel centered. I find quiet time AND exercise help in this regard. but yes, I find too when things get busy, all things meaningful and enriching get chucked out the window. thanks so for stopping by! xo
