I'm at a point today where my want to do list out reaches my energy. Time for me is always too short. I have this on going list that never ends. I'm never board because I create more to do. I can easily spend time doing chores and be happy. I can wander a store with my daughter and not buy anything and be happy. I can rock the baby and snuggle and be happy. I can drive to no place in particular and be happy. Unfortunately most days are filled with long lists of things to do and places to be.
In the over all picture though I think the best use of my time is with the people I love. Pulling weeds with my children afforded me time. Time to do a chore, feel the earth in my hands and be with my children. Sometimes they were not too happy to be there, but after a while they would settle in and do the job. It was nice to chat and just be. Sometimes it was very warm and they couldn't get it done soon enough. But it was still time.
Last winter I was out back pulling some weeds and Kristopher came out to find me. Soon he was helping me and we had a very good conversation. I don't remember what we talked about but I do remember how it felt. I was glad to be there.
I hope I can find more opportunities to be available to those I love. They are all so wonderful and unique.
