the past week has been incredibly busy for my wife and i. we yearn for time to be at home without one obligation after another. much of this is because we aren't good at saying no. after almost eighty years on this planet, we should have learned our limitations! the next few days don't look any better. as we look ahead, we say to ourselves, "if only we can get through the next four days, we can stop and catch our breath."
most of us are guilty of living lives of "if only" much of the time. life happens as we live it. we need to learn that this journey is what life is. we don't have to get past our responsibilities to begin living. those responsibilities are our lives. they are experiences that give life meaning, not something to get past so we can start living. may we relax into the busyness of life. may we recognize the value of what we do. may we carve out time for stopping to smell the roses and realize that those times are as important as the times of work and helping others. may we make helping and caring for ourselves as important a priority as caring for others. shalom.
