Quickly

I've been rushing. {Rushing to nowhere in particular and for no real reason at all}.

Just rushing to get out the house, to get this house unpacked, to set up my study/office, to get my wardrobe in some kind of order...

Nothing life stopping {or changing} there. And rushing won't get any of that done any quicker I know {yet still I've been rushing}.

This morning as I ran around the house picking up the contents of the nappy bag, little miss almost-three said, "Quickly quickly, Mum".

And that's when I realised it's quickly quickly that's been coming out of my mouth, and quickly quickly that's been on my mind {and maybe my little girl's too}.

But nothing is going quickly. {It feels as though everything is taking forever to get done}.

So today I'm giving up on wanting quickly. And trusting that time and space will do their thing.

And I hope when it's all done I remember that quickly didn't get me anywhere {other than in a head spin} and gently and slowly still get me where I want to be in the end.

Do you rush to get things done? Or find slow and gentle get the job done?
