Yes, I feel like that kind of a floater today!
From: http://coppermillionaire.wordpress.com/
Sometimes I let myself float through life and not think about anything. I simply do what I have to do in that moment, in that day. In fact I normally find something to take up so much of my time that I don’t have to think about what’s going on in my head, or in my heart. My sister’s wedding was great for that. I was able to put off a lot of decisions and focus all of my time and energy on making her day a special one (including her shower and stagette).
So, now that she is married and out of the house – what’s a girl to do but sit back and start worrying about her own life. Yikes. Still in school, still writing (and not getting far), still part-timing at the pizza place – practically standing still or running in circles, I can’t tell anymore.
Gawd, could I BE anymore EMO today?!?
Maybe I should just sit still for a while. Be content in this stillness.
Maybe then I will be able to pinpoint my goals and take the right path to get there.
Maybe I’ll let the stillness help me.
Dear V, what bliss it is to float! My mind rarely takes time off! But as to standing still: you are not. With every letter you write that forms words from your heart you are creating your life. Life is not about doing and checking it off the list at the end of the day and then judging whether you were productive enough. It is time to turn off that inner critic -the one who has set a rule and a standard that you believe you have to live up to. You are a human ‘being’ not a human ‘doing’.
Step out of the race you put yourself in and enjoy those moments of stillness without guilt. It is these moments that refuel your creative energy. If there must be a productive checklist to your day, have this one: lived my life to the fullest today and expressed my joy through my creativity. CHECK
Thank you so much for this comment Lisa. It will certainly be my new mantra!
