Happy Fri-YAY!! Who doesn’t love Friday. Especially when the the temps in the South are finally going to be cooler – thank you Jesus! Seems the next few months tend to fly by yet some days tend to drag on. What’s that saying “the years are fast but the days are long.” Yep that sounds about right and the older I get the more aware I am at how fast it passes by and how I need to live each and every moment to it’s fullest – stay present! Goodness there is no telling how much time we’ve wished away.
You know we ALL do it! Can’t wait until… Ugh it’s Monday already! Happy Fri-YAY. I am reaching that age that I just wish some days I could have a do over. Go back and soak it all in! All of it. Not from the vantage of hindsight or the wisdom, the years of life lived, has taught me. Just stay in the moment! I was doing a relaxation technique recently and realized just how hard it is to push everything aside and just be. For most of us even just going to sleep doesn’t come easy ~ the mind never stops racing, planning & ‘what if-ing.’
Maybe it’s just me that has spent most of life looking ahead but I think one look at society, social media or the self help section in the bookstore – it is safe to say, we live in a crazy busy world. Everything changes so quickly it leaves our heads spinning and the plates crashing. Almost as if we can’t keep up, let along achieve the goal set before me. Which leads me to, “do we actually set goals? or just set out to like, pin, imitate and crop & filter our existence away?” Hmm… definitely worth pondering.
Nothing wrong with liking & pinning. Who doesn’t like seeking out great fashion, lifestyle blogs, yummy recipes & home decor. Yes! Truth be told we all do. Hello I am typing right now and will share and hope you like it, share and pin too. HaHa! If things inspire you, bring you joy and encourage the way you see the world – then keep doing you! If things make you feel unworthy, maybe a little jealous or in any way makes you feel worse about your day – DELETE it! NOW! What you reflect in this life will echo through eternity – BE UNASHAMEDLY YOU!
So on this Fri-YAY – again, who doesn’t love a Friday (even my bird is singing this morning). I say let us take some time to evaluate what we allow in our heads. We live in a time of great illusion. I think we forget that if it seems to good to be true – it is. Stay in the moment. Be Present. Love your own company. Don’t compare your life to anyone else – you are you! Plain and simple, it won’t end well – you are you! All of our lives have a story, a testimony and they are unique and beautiful and worthy and important. If every book in the library had the same words on their pages, what would be the point?
Leaving you with a page from a very special book that is so simple and powerful! It is called An Awesome Book of Love by Dallas Clayton.
