Breathe e a s y

It just so happens that I have the morning off tomorrow and South Africans celebrate youth day tomorrow too which makes for loads of resting for many.  As a true South African I feel it's only fit that I get time off - even if that means im living in Taiwan.  

Long story short about why I have the day off I have the day off tomorrow.  Look Im not complaining that I can go to gym, drink some coffee and sleep in... But what I do want to say that it fits my word for the year perfectly well... B r e a t h e

Half way into the year most people have most probably given up on their New Years resolutions.  I sometimes need to remind myself of my word for the year too! 

I'm really still chuffed with my choice.  The word "breathe" certainly hasn't meant that it's a chilled and easy breezy year but one with loads of moments of simply titling my head back and breathing amidst the choas.  

Life isn't about sitting on the sidelines.  It's about immersing oneself in the task at hand with a healthy knowing and air of grace.  It's about giving ones all in a contented and mindful way.  It's about working and playing and resting.  It's about serving your best ball and being on the other side to hit that ball out the park.  I takes skill and focus.  It takes multi tasking and being flexible.  It takes zoning out of all the crowds voices and zoning into knowing who you are and what your role is in this life.  We have one life.  Let's make it count.  

Love, 

Phoenix and Sarah
