I HAD to share this with all my sisters who live on the island of GUILT... in the sea of UNFINISHED PROJECTS... in the land of RUNNING BEHIND... in a world of NEVER GOOD ENOUGH:
I had a PEACEFUL moment last night!
I was sitting in the living room going through mail when I opened my new "Working Mother" magazine to an article about relaxing. You know, the articles you never have time to read! :) Well, I didn't read it, but I saw a photo of a woman relaxing/meditating on a sofa. So since I was sitting there, I decided to try it.
It's ADDICTIVE!!!
After a few moments of quiet with my eyes closed - I'm not kidding - my kids came running over: "Mommy, are you OKAY?!?!" I nodded. They went off to play. And I basked in my new addiction to .... quiet.
It wasn't so much that I was enjoying the quiet. It was more the settled feeling of being at peace with myself, at least for the moment. I thought: my house is (fairly) clean, my kids are fed and seemingly happy. I did a pretty good day's work. Stuff that's not done isn't killing me. I'm not all that bad after all!
I LIKE those moments! We ALL need one (or two, or ten) every day!
