Something about not feeling well a few days gives me moments to actually think about anything other than work or what I “ need” to be doing. Yes, it’s all piling up but just don’t feel well enough to do any of it. So, I lie here wondering about it all.
A sweet friend from high school days just messaged me a lovely poem about, “Bits and Pieces”. What an encouraging note, but she is definitely one who encourages people. She has also reminded me that my little blog has encouraged her. Thank you so much for letting me know it does touch those who need to hear a word here and there.
Work and life have been extremely stressful, or should I just say more stressful, the last few months. Having to unexpectedly move and adjust space issues, feeling alone and frustrated, work numbers are too low, where do I fit in the chaos, you know…life…
Since God has chosen to slam my brakes on for the last 4 days…thus insued the “wondering”. We know there are no coincidences so off went my Monkey Mind. Do I change jobs or my career? I love designing to my core but maybe He is ready for me to move on to just my art. Not quite sure that will pay the rent or am I not trusting my abilities?? Or more so Gods?? I do know my 2 plus hours of driving to and from work is tedious. But then I get there and remember why I do it…. I love what I do!!
There I am …back to work thinking…🤦♀️
Life is so much more..I shared with her that I have spent, or wasted, far too much of my life searching rather than “being”. Why is being really present so very difficult!!! When I stop and enjoy this view that God has blessed me with for 5 years it’s merely moments before the mind zooms back to all I NEED to be doing…it’s quite annoying that I cannot turn that button to mute for more than a few seconds.
Beach-Zen was created, after losing my son, to help others, myself being the impetus, to STOP and JUST BE… that place of Zen in your soul that longs for us to breathe in God’s majestic beauty…even in our chaos…it IS there..but we have to chose to hit that MUTE button to see and hear it..it IS a choice. Life is short…
Don’t wait for God to hit that mute button for you to get you to stop. Take a few minutes today and everyday to breathe in the moments..life will still be there with all its ups and downs….those few minutes won’t make any difference there…just DO it….just bits and pieces…a bit of a pause and pieces of your soul will fill with God’s wonders.
Here’s to hitting MUTE today. Life will still be waiting when you hit resume, I promise. ❤️
Love you sweet friends 🪷🪷🪷 thank you for those “bits and pieces” of all of you that continue to create who I am😘
