Just Be
Posted on October 15th, 2010 2 commentsTake some time to just be.
Remind yourself that you are not a princess. You are not entitled. What you own is not truly yours. Everything could be taken away tomorrow. Enjoy today.
Smile.
Be gracious with others.
Be gentle on yourself.
Slow down. Eat slower. Make love slower. Drive slower. Take in what is around you. Take in its beauty.
Revel in your children. Laugh at their horrific jokes that don’t make sense because one day their wit and word play will astound you. Be amazed at the shadow of stubble on your son’s chin. Delight.
Enjoy where you are right now. You won’t be here again.
Take time.
Go outside. Breathe deeply. Walk. Relax.
And most of all, just be. Be present. Be here. Be now.
Be happy.
Enjoy.

Well put, girl!
It’s something I have to remind myself about from time to time. Especially when I get a lot of exciting things going on.
