Have you been
keeping your gratitude journal? It’s
been 4 days since I made my suggestion? There’s
no excuse because you can get a journal for a mere dollar at the local Dollar
Store. Shy or afraid because someone may
read it? Shame on them for intruding on
your private moment. But I remind you,
gently, this is not an option to your path to tranquility.
For those who know me you may be smiling
because I am not always a tranquil person.
Indeed, I’ve been known to be slightly (?) volatile. And there is nothing wrong with that. A person ought to have passions in life, things
that they feel strongly about and are not afraid to expound on, be it politics,
sports, life in general, whatever sets you going. Having passions does not mean that one cannot
also be tranquil or pursue a peace of mind.
Remember that the starting point of this
week of thought (yes, I plan on doing this all week long) is to find a proper
pace in one’s life so that we can have time to do the small things that help
balance out your week. Five minutes here
and five minutes there will gently add up to moments of simple
accomplishment. Look, I was able to
prepare my week’s menu for Mom. I’ve
been able to write my blog consistently.
I’ve taken on my exercise regime because the other items have been
ticked off my to-do list. Slow and
steady, we will win our tiny little “race” of not racing.
Is that an oxymoron?
