Sunday morning thoughts and a cup of hot tea. Another day begins and I am sitting here thinking about all that I want to accomplish today. My to do list never seems to end and today will be no different even if it is Sunday. I remember as a child that Sundays were considered a day of rest and we all looked forward to getting dressed up , going to church, coming home to a good dinner and then everyone would spend the rest of the day being quiet. Things certainly have changed because I have to put my garden in and work outside after I do some house cleaning.
I am thinking about my TINY HOUSE and if I have what it takes to go through with it. The biggest question is why do I want to do this? I have a list of reasons including, easier up keep, less expense, less responsibility etc. and freedom from the heaviness of stuff. But the main reason has always been the same... finding my way to having time to write. I have asked myself this question many times...
"What would you want to do if you were told that you only had one more year to live."
My answer is always the same... cut out the unnecessary stuff of life and write. Be the mother, sister, aunt, friend, community member that I always want to have more time for because that is what makes the moments of life so valuable. So today I will think again about my TINY HOUSE and what it would take to get me there.
So if you were asked the same question, what would your answer be? Would you let it pass by and accept your fate as is and leave this world still wanting to dance, draw, travel or write your own book? Or would you do something that you have always wanted to do. Be brave today and take the time to pretend that you can chase that childhood dream... you know the one that they told you to put away because you weren't good/smart enough or that life was meant for the serious stuff and no time to waste on chasing crazy dreams. Everyone has a dream that fear and judgement has crushed... be brave today... remember it and smile.
