How often do you find yourself just too busy to take time to smell the roses or any of those other sweet flowers blooming around you? Life is busy, and some days it feels rather difficult just to get around to checking a few things off that long "to do list"! I have had to realize that I need to take more time to "smell the roses", so to speak. I need to learn to work in more time of relaxation alongside my work. My shoulder issue has forced me to realize this. It doesn't mean that I am going to prop my feet up, eat bonbons, and watch tv. No, it simply means that I need to use some of my time for relaxing…learning how to BREATHE…learning how to manage my "work" time better. Too many hours at the computer are not good for anyone, and although I knew this…well, I really didn't think my body would eventually act sassy and bring it to my attention. But, it did. And, now, I am looking, searching, and finding ways to incorporate a few more breaks in my work day. So, one thing I love to do is take a walk and look for inspiration around me…in the flowers blooming, people and children at play, or something that might not normally catch my eye. And, then, I love sharing these things with you. 🙂
As I mentioned the other day in a post, I am going to do a little "photography week"…that's what I'll call it…where I will share pictures and a few thoughts so maybe it will help me to catch up a little faster. I have been rather frustrated about being behind on my blog because honestly, this blog has become what I hoped it would when I started it…I hoped it would be a place where I could share my VISIONS with you…and, maybe my visions and thoughts might make you laugh, remind you of a sweet friend, encourage you, let you know that you are not alone in some of the thoughts you may have, or simply just give you a few minutes to relax or take a break from your busy day…And, in the same sense, I would enjoy making time to share things with you and hear your thoughts…and, I do!! So, I am catching up (still going to physical therapy and still trying to be PATIENT with this shoulder)…and, I have so much to share with you! Woohoo…lots of things to share with you…so, stay tuned…enjoy some of my favorite photos, and remember to RELAX, BREATH,…AND, SMELL THOSE ROSES!!
And, be sure to send me a little "hello" all along…I love to hear from you! Your words and thoughts often encourage me, and that makes me SMILE…more than you know!! 🙂
