Go and stop. Stop and go.



On Monday I felt amazing. Connected. Excited. {On the eve of something new}.

So I busied about with purpose, setting goals and making wishes {and embarking on projects new}.

By Wednesday, I was brimming with purpose, achievement and anticipation. {Finally ready to take the first steps on project change}.

By the night my head was hazy and throat sore {and my mind filled with dreams of sleep}.

Sleep arrived in one-hour bursts {slumber broken by a teething baby and crying toddler}.

Then morning came and the day felt like it should be night {the excitement of Monday a faded memory}.

On Friday I sat gazing at a journal filled with projects, hopes, goals and actions {questions and dreams}.

I wanted to feel the passion and desire to create, learn and share {to take a chance and dream something new} that I felt when all those ideas were put on paper days before.

But all I could think of was sleep {so sleep, rest and going slow is what I did}.

This weekend I've still been moving slowly, and trying to go gently too.

And I've reminded myself that time is on my side {not everything needs to be done right away}.

And with another day ending and a new week almost here I've realised I will conquer all those dreams and projects.

And I will arrive where I want to go {in time, and in the end}.

  2. It feels so strange when this happens - one day full of energy and bounce then a day (or night) that goes awry and you can feel completely the opposite and shattered.

    take care,

  3. Oh I so know how you feel Elisa, and yes you are right, we often need to remind ourselves not everything needs to be (or can be) done right now. Without fail I dream of what 'can be done' almost every night before I go to bed, only to become consumed by 'life' when I wake up the next morning, it just (gets in the way) happens! Glad we both know that One Day, we will arrive just where we want to go. x
