Sometimes it’s nice to have a break, even if it’s unplanned. Normally it’s go-go-go on weekends, but today was a lazy day, mostly because Kirk’s back is causing him painful grief. So it became an opportunity to catch up on a backlog of photos going back as far as the trip to Mexico in June. But even without a backlog of photos, sometime’s it’s a good thing to just stop for a moment and think about where you are going and why. We rush along and do the things we think we need to do to reach some goal that only matters to us, and in the end, really probably doesn’t matter anyway, at least not in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes it is better to just stop, look around, and appreciate what you have right now, appreciate the little things, because in the end they are what make you happy from day-to-day, that and the ability to hopefully make some other people a little bit happier.
“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
So if you are racing forward trying to reach/get/attain some goal that only matters to you, maybe it’s time to slow down and appreciate what you already have achieved and enjoy the here and now.
I still have marking to catch up on, and I have to teach another VHF radio class on Monday, and I am supposed to teach a class on weather on Tuesday, but I have not yet even had a chance to look at the material I am to teach. I’m sure it will all work out though…
