Title TBD
As I sat down to write this, I was lost as to what I could discuss. Similar to my first ever post, I was stumped as to what I could share. To try to come up with something, I tried different titles to see if I might be inspired but nothing really stuck. So I pasted on the title “Title TBD” and decided to just write whatever came, similar to how I write in my journal - writing with no clear direction just to see what words, thoughts and ideas might come out. In a way, I guess this is a small way of taking pressure off of myself. In the process, I can allow whatever creativity wants to come out to come out more naturally. Maybe today is simply one of those days where I feel just a bit confused, a bit lost, perhaps even a bit uninspired and that is ok.
It is ok because for everyday that I feel this way, there are others where I feel energized, creative, inspired, wanting to explore, eager. In the end, it is a balance. Not everyday, not every moment, can be the same and on a day like today, instead of wishing for it to be different, maybe I can practice finding small bits of joy. Like, for example, the fact that because I am feeling slightly less energetic, it actually means I am enjoying my rest a bit more (which I wrote about last week). Or, that after writing this post, I am going to get up, walk to the kitchen and make myself another (yes, a second!) cup of tea. Maybe I’ll even look out the window while the water boils and the tea brews. Or, I can look at the fact that as I am writing this, I am finding myself smiling because thinking about these precious and maybe less obvious moments of joy are, in themselves, bringing me a kind of peace and contentment.
I think that to live life fully is to live, as best as we can, in each moment. To savor the moment, to savor the cup of tea, to savor the feeling of lightness in the body when I find myself smiling. It is also knowing that not everyday will feel the same but to allow these feelings to come and go as they will. Some mornings, days, months or years might feel lighter or heavier than others but it is important to keep these in perspective as they are all part of the balance.
So, however it is you find yourself feeling, may you get to savor the small moments and touch peace and contentment.
