Wanting to Keep More Than My Head Above Water!
How do you focus on what matters in living your life? On one hand you have the getting by and going through the motions. While on the other hand you have the being in the present moment. Do you ever feel like life is just speeding on by? Are you on or off or somewhere in between? It depends, right!

Is it about less doing and more being? Embrace the Present!
I know I find myself zoning out and being not interested and bored when overstimulated. I also find myself stuck and struggling and all up in my own business when overwhelmed. I feel like I need a good cleansing rain in my life to start fresh once again! Wash away all that “STUFF” going on and get focused on living!
I know for me there is one thing that will STOP me in my tracks! I do not like the impatient, unpleasant and even rude person that lives inside of me that bubbles to the surface when I feel like I cannot handle one more thing. She is one ugly, hot mess! Especially when she has indeed had enough and is ready to boil over with anger. I know I need a “time out”!

Why does that happen? That certainly is NOT the Best Me!
I think in a way it is like a self check! Put the best version of yourself out there. Remember life is speeding by with or without you! Accept that you are doing a good job and to the best of your abilities too. Give Yourself Some TLC!
You have to take the bad moments with the good moments and everything in between that comes your way! There are times where you have to jump in or at least wade in and deal with that “STUFF”. There are times where you have to engage fully and focus on the task at hand. You embrace change, accept what matters and let go of the rest!

Is it about less wanting and more living? Living the Life You Do Have!

“Remember life is speeding by with or without you! Accept that you are doing a good job and to the best of your abilities too. Give Yourself Some TLC!” –> This is what I need to do!!

The last night is awesome – Live the life you have! I think it’s so easy to want so much from life than what you may currently have the current life is overlooked. I also agree that there are times when you need to step back but all tasks do need to be addressed eventually. It’s a matter of taking care of them so they aren’t overwhelming and drag you under. That’s what I’m trying to do because I’ve found that I haven’t dealt with things, I’ve avoided them. That’s no good either. Love the photography! 🙂

I’m guilty of dealing with an issue in a rather unpleasant way this past weekend. I should have donned my Minnesota Nice rather than getting upset. Sigh.
Love the water images…oh, the color.

Audrey –
It happens, especially when in the moment. At least you can admit it and can do better next time.

So true. It get easier to let go as I get older. I just don’t care as much!

Susie –
Have to agree with you in not caring as much sometimes!

Laughing–that makes everything seem better, doesn’t it? I love when people laugh, and fall prey to laughter pretty easily myself.

Char –
Yes It Does! I love hearing people laugh too, especially babies and small children:)
Have You Laughed Today? Knock, Knock . . .

That rude person in your head sounds very like the rude person in my head! I don’t like her either!

I think a good majority of us have that rude person in our heads and it does not take much some days for it to rear its ugliness and rudeness. Just have to take control and reign it in or at least take a time out:)
