I Have a Choice

Life gets busy.  Sometimes it is so FULL that you do not even know if you’re enjoying one bit of it.  You might hear yourself sigh more, dropping or forgetting things and just noticing a negative attitude leaking and then pouring out.  I looked at our calendar and realized there are no breaks for a while, no days just to catch up or be lazy.  I quickly realized that this was stressful and bringing on my ‘Negative Nancy’ alter ego.

This is life.  It’s what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans, right?  It’s the days that make your head spin, the meetings you dread, the family in town, the trips to pack and plan for and the endless laundry, dishes and toys to clean up.  This is life.  It’s not next month and it doesn’t reside in the quiet moments alone.  It can be loud, messy and unrelenting.  I literally said out loud, “you can go with the flow and enjoy what your life is right now or you can fight it, wish it away and even break down into tears. What’s it gonna be?”   Without a breath, my heart and brain jumped to: “ENJOY!!”  Nothing horrible is happening, it’s just a fast flow right now.

We can enjoy.
