Yes, I know I haven't done my blog in forever. I had it blocked as private for quite some time now. I've had plenty going on in my life, and much to say. I guess I just haven't felt like sharing. I thought about deleting all my blogs and starting over but after reading them decided not to because there are some really good thoughts in some of them that are a part of my journey. Even though I could erase them here, they are always going to be a part of me. So, if you are interested and have some time please feel free to read back into my thoughts.
So now..what is the rush?
Why are we always in a hurry for everything? That has been on my mind the last few days. I think that as a whole, most of us want everything when we want it. We can't wait for anything, it doesn't matter what, we can't wait. Why? It's what society tells us. Every advertisement you see is instant gratification. You need something? Well, just go buy it....right now, hurry up! No one waits for anything anymore.
We rush all day long....you run around getting yourself and your kids ready for school or work every morning. Rush around while you are at work, hurry home to make dinner and to get the kids where they need to be. You rush around all week long to get your tasks done that must get done. Do you get a break on the weekends? Oh no, that's the time to get everything done that you didn't finish during the week plus a hundred other jobs you have in the back of your mind that you must finish too. There is never a break, we are perpetually in a hurry.
We rush into things we are not ready for all the time...relationships we may not be emotionally ready to have, getting married, having kids, job choices, major purchases. Think of all the things you have rushed into. If you knew what the outcome of some of those choices would be, would you have rushed into them like you did? I know that the choices we make are part of living and learning, but what if we just slowed down for a split second and thought about what we were doing? Do you think you would have made the same choice?
Why am I in such a rush? That is what I have asked myself the last few days...why? I think the reason is because I have been on 'hold' for so long. I've been waiting to move forward with my life for years and I guess I am tired of the wait. Haven't I waited long enough to get on with the living part, the part for me? When will I get my time, the time to be selfish if even just for a moment? Haven't I waited long enough to find my light at the end of the tunnel? Haven't I waited long enough to find my frog?
Do good things come to those who wait? Now, this is the best question of all.
If this is really true, I should be in store for something SPECTACULAR in my life for as long as I have been waiting.
So, for now, I guess I am still waiting. For now all I can do is sit back, enjoy the journey and let the experience unfold around me....and keep telling myself that I don't need to be in such a hurry.
