mixed bag of thoughts...

I found a feather...it was so beautiful. Bright orange on one side and black as night on the other. I just kept looking at it...wondering what the bird who was missing it looked like. I was and still am amazed at the beauty nature gives us...I wonder why, and I wonder how....

...An accumulation of thoughts form the past...and the moment of creation.

Deepest Sleep of sleeps...

I had the very deepest of deep sleeps last night. I've been very busy lately, and I have been thinking about my challenge of life a lot lately...time. Time, the most precious commodity to be had. You can't bank it, you can't retrieve it if it's lost...it's just gone.

So, back to my dilemma of wanting more time. Time with my family, time to sleep, time to create. I came to the realization that my life is just busy right now and I'd have to think of a way to work around the inevitable instead of trying to obtain something that I had no power over obtaining. I gave my brain a big "free pass". Work on those things that need doing in the immediate future and leave those things that can wait until when ever. Who cares if the dishes are dirty, as long as there's food to dirty them with! Yes those are monster dust bunnies on floor...go outside for a walk and you won't have to look at them!

OK, honestly...I have to work on it, but I released a lot of stress yesterday by letting go of the many feelings of "have to". I had a great sleep and woke feeling refreshed and ready for the day. What more could you ask for on a Thursday morning.
