The Simple Life.
How I long to live it.
Always rushing from here to there...
From there to here.
I feel like my life is that
Dr. Suess book...
"Oh the Places We Will Go".
Always going and going...
only really going nowhere.
Just rushing.
Playing beat the clock.
Trying to fit it all in
but never really living the moment.
I am feeling the pressure
my kids are feeling the pressure.
Will Summer be different?
Will we be able to stop
this crazy life?
I am in need of
CHANGE.
Big time,
life altering
CHANGE.
My weight has spiraled out of control.
The stress of all this going
has me up to
my highest weight ever.
Nothing fits.
Yes,
I am in need of a
CHANGE.
This weekend
my little family is headed
to Osage Beach, Missouri.
It's a really fun
tourist town right on a
beautiful lake.
My family and I
need this break.
We need a
CHANGE
of scenary.
We are going to
cheer on my son Jackson.
He is competing in the State Level
Optimist Club Speech Contest.
Go Jackson
GO!!
This weekend
I am going to
relax
and
savor
the
moments
with
my
family.
Then...
come Monday...
I will be ready
for the
CHANGE
I so need in my life.
I have been extra
GROUCHY
with this extra weight.
Extra sad
and tired.
But no more.
It is time to embrace a
major mind-shift...
a heart-felt
attitude adjustment.
I
KNOW
I can do this.

ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us dream of the simple life (I love that piece, BTW). The good thing to remember is that we have the chance to strive for it everyday. I savor the days I get to just stay at home. They are few, but maybe that's what makes them so sweet! Have fun this weekend and good luck to your son! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the piece - and yes, I can totally understand the need to either slow down or to change.
ReplyDeleteI never did - so God sort of made it happen for me.
Now I have fresh wings to fly!
Oh Leslie - I can so relate. I feel the extra weight and know I have to do something. I start off ok and then being tired and stressed gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your son and may you all have a wonderful weekend!
I hope you enjoy a restorative weekend, Leslie. Your Brave Art in this post is beautiful! I agree with you about seeking simplicity and fighting against being ruled by the clock. It's an ongoing effort, and it helps to "revisit" the resolve...often!
