We spend a lot of time climbing the mountain.
A lot of time making life harder then it needs to be.
It's time to simplify. Time to be ok with not doing everything, but holding the things we do do closer to our heart.
I want what I do to be of quality...even if it means I do less then what my crazy mind expects of me. Even if it means I take longer to get where my heart is longing to be. Even if it means accepting my current circumstances and giving it the attention it needs instead of brushing over it as something that burdens me.
While I was gone I took time to sit on the couch and do nothing.
Time to roam aimlessly on my bike.
Time to watch sunsets on top of mountains with my honey.
Time to sip tea in the quiet of the morning instead of penetrating its peace with tweets and short and sweet FB updates.
I only have this life...Creative Juicy it sometimes may be...but I'm not going to let any moment slip me by anymore by planning, worrying, or over thinking what I want my tomorrow to be.
NOW it's time to make a few shifts, a few changes, welcome new perspective, and leave old habits behind.
This is a new beginning, Lovelies, to my Creative Juicy Life.
Peace & Love.

Wonderful!!! I'm so glad you have this perspective on life Connie...it's sooo important. I've been feeling completely rejuiced lately and you've been what's inspiring me most!!
Too completely beautiful. I absolutely feel this. Thanks for taking the time to say it so simply and eloquently.

I needed to read this today. I have been driving myself crazy and I need to just let what may be...Be
Amen to that! I have been rushing from one thing to the next for sooo long, you have reminded me to just do nothing some times.
I love this new beginning post - it is beautiful and perfect for where I am today. Aren't we lucky that each day gives us a chance to begin again...each moment in fact ? Thanks for the beautiful reminder.
I have been trying to spend 15 min. a day doing nothing; being quiet and listening for that still small voice. Carving out 15 minutes is proving to be more difficult than I imagined. Thank you for reminding me how important and how wonderful it is.
Don't we all sometimes need to stop, reevaluate, and begin anew. For me that can be almost daily - just as the sun always rises to light another day.
I'm so glad that you time away has provided you with this clarity.
What a beautiful post! I can relate to resting in the moment and accepting where I am at -- to just be. Savoring where we are at and not feeling pushed to run after all of our ideas is a true gift. I look forward to seeing where this next chapter in your adventure takes you!
"even if it means I do less then what my crazy mind expects of me"
Wow, that sure sounds familiar! Every so often I have to remind myself that I can't do everything! And certainly not right now. I have so many plans and ideas and I really do try to do them all when it's just not possible.
Can't wait to see what comes next for Dirty Footprints!
