This summer has been…interesting.
I have all 4 kids home (for the most part), am doing a bit of blog conferencing, we have some vacation planned, and am trying to institute more time for me.
While I should be embracing the summer, spending days at the pool, and making playdates for the kids, I’m not. Life has been like an airplane circling an amazing destination, waiting to land. I’m waiting for the next thing I have to do, the next email, the constantly growing to do list that isn’t moving.
Today I’ve been waiting for inspiration for my Mom Monday post- I had planned to write about body image, and then fitness, and then I don’t know but the words wouldn’t come. So I did what any twitter addict would do, I sent out a tweet.
“I am aimless today. This is not good.”
Within a minute Pam Slim replied:
“@centsiblelife: aimless is good. embrace your inner lack of compass.” via Twitter
Pam’s right. Instead of sitting here trying to get inspired I’m going to go see where life takes me today. Likely to the floor to play with my 4 year old. Maybe to watch a movie with my girls. Possibly to help my 12 year old start something new. We’ll see.
One thing is clear-I don’t do nothing often enough, and with this idea of letting go in my system, I may just be spending more time making playdates, swimming, and just being. In other words: living life.
