I am back home in Apple Valley and sitting in my office in the middle of my stuff. Everything looks much bigger than I remember. The pace of the cars moving through our town is a powerful reminder that things move more quickly around here. I feel a bit out of step, but I will get back in line soon enough.
Everything is disorganized, and there is much for me to do in order to get caught up. I was away for over two months and that helped me realize that I don’t need as much as I thought I did. I just need to simplify a bit. I learned that is a lot easier to care for a few things than it is to care for so much.
Reengaging From Periods of Disengagement
It is vacation season so many of you are probably returning home or back to the office too. When I get back from time away, I almost always feel like I need a vacation. You probably know what I am talking about.
I feel a bit as if I am jumping rope. It is my turn to enter the rope that is being rotated by my friends. I am hesitating a bit, because I don’t want to get hit by the rope. I am worried that I won’t be able to keep up with the pace they are swinging it.
My nerves and my fear, keep me hesitating on the sidelines until I finally know that I must jump in. Once I get in the rhythm, the pace seems normal again and I am barely aware of the speed at which the rope whizzes by.
I am on the edge looking in this morning. By the end of the day, I will most likely be back in sync.
Becoming Anxiously Engaged
Now, I must live in the life that I have created. There are many questions running through my mind. The biggest question as I return is: “Is this really how I want to spend my precious time?”
I am grateful to know that life is something we invent. Often, we can feel trapped by who we are and what we do. I know that we can create a new reality any time we want.
Today is a day of inventory. I must see where I am, before I jump back in. This will give me a chance to plan my next steps. It is time to reassess what I believe to be my perfect day. I can’t wait to get started.
Live Today! Love Today!
