I think a word for the year 2012 is going to be random. I like my life a little random. We cannot plan or schedule all the success and entertainment we want and need in our lives.
I
like my schedule open with free time filled by things that just pop up.
The
phone rings and you talk for hours.
A
surprise text starts a conversation and lets you know someone it thinking about
you.
Something
hilarious happens and you just roll with laughter.
Time
with pets or babies
Time
alone
Comfort
food
Television…
An
impromptu outing, movie or meal
A
4 course meal from scratch
Ordering
out
Friends
stop by
An
afternoon nap
A
time of uninterrupted musical enjoyment
A
windfall
Restoration
A
new friend
This
bright sunny no rain no cloud California winter
MeetUp
Coffee
Chocolate
Ice
Cream
Fruit
Fresh
bread
If
your life is a little too planned, boring, scheduled… take a moment and do
something random just for yourself.
It
is liberating and can produce joy or at least allows you to breathe a little
easier.
great reminder to just flow with life. Life isn't about planning, it's about engaging. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteAh yes it is good to be reminded of the fact that even though i am bored with not having any work there are so many good things about having lots of time on my hands....yes it is the randomness....I can choose to not stress about doing something in particular and just go with the flow...thanks for reminding me
ReplyDeleteGlad this was so engaging and inspiring. Thanks ladies! Happy 2012
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful post, thank you for sharing. Everyone needs time to just do something random for themselves :)
ReplyDeleteI agree Jenn,
ReplyDeleteIt has helped me keep sane as a single mom. I would cherish the time after my daughter went to bed when she was little. I give myself permission to just enjoy whatever free time I can wrangle out of my days. I find that I can be very productive but I do not put pressure on myself to always be producing. Life is a gift. Too many people rush through it miserable and blind to that fact.
I absolutely love your attitude toward randomness. Thank you for leading me to this post.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very welcomed. I do not even like to think inside the box so embracing that life is not confined there is invigorating for me!
