Words

The following was taken from "periwinklebloom".

**************************************************************************************
"A bit early for resolutions but a friend of mine made a poignant comment recently regarding the many hats we wear as parents.

Her observation rang loud and true that we are rarely 'fully present'. With one toe in, an arm reached out and as ear in yet another direction I tend to overlook the lack of pause in my life.

The rhythmic breath of our everyday is too frenetic and taken for granted without care.

This is not news I am sure, but bears repeating. That we mentally multitask and exist on soundbites is not exactly living. Pragmatic, yes but nourishing, not so much.

As we enter the holiday season with a rush I'll send good energy your way to do less and be more.

A gentle remionder to be present, to engage and to notice your breath."
