4/28
Another favourite day of the week.
My word for the year is 'breathe' and my word for the week is 'enjoy'. I think they conincide somewhat but that is not the focus of my blog post today.
I've come to the realisation that one should approach the future by just breathing. When I was in matric (final year of school) I thought long and hard about what to do the next year as if my brain didn't have enough opportunity to ponder with everyone asking me, people coming to give talks at school and then university's approaching us at large too. My heart was pretty set on going to study art. But Instead I gave a year to serving at my local church. At the end of the year my heart was still set on studying art . I guess I wanted the desire to fall away but it didn't. Maybe that is another blog post too.
Anyway, I thought that I wouldn't really have to think about my future after I had decided on what to study. I expected that a job would fall into place and I would love happily ever after. This is not true and ever so often I think of that thing called ... The future.
In doing so Ive also learnt to enjoy the process of life and the journey that I am on. Sometimes I can get so focussed on what I want that I forget to enjoy what I have. So this is a reminder again to self...
Self...you've got shoes on your feet. You have joy in your heart. You have friends in your arms and children in your sight. You feel the warmth on your skin and the rain refresh your face. You are where you are and that is a special place. Enjoy!
Love,
Phoenix and Sarah
