when life gets too busy, take 20 minutes...to read your bible, say a prayer, pet your dog, rest your head, stare aimlessly outside your window.
when life gets too busy, go visit your grandma...drink lots of tea, give her hugs, and laugh at old family memories when you went to the beach and aunt susan got pooped on.
when life gets too busy, go to a bookstore...or two, or five. browse, smell, read, buy.
when life gets too busy, treat yourself to pie...that good pie from your favorite bakery. eat and share with a friend while watching your favorite tv show.
when life gets too busy, go outside...walk along the water and breath in the fresh air, because you're alive and it's there to wake you up. sit and observe while drinking coffee.
when life gets too busy, slow down and cook...make something you've always wanted to try and promise to yourself it's okay to take your time and make mistakes.
when life gets too busy, grab a friend...go outside when its pitch black and pouring rain and dance your hardest. sing at the top of your lungs. teach her how to swing and ask her to show you how to waltz.
when life gets too busy, hop in the car...and go watch the sunset, or sunrise. explore a new place and sing along to the radio, not caring if the other drivers are judging you.
when life gets too busy, sleep in an extra hour...enjoy the refreshment of rest.
when life gets too busy, stay home on saturday...watch the rain pour outside from your window and hold a cup of warm tea in your hands. catch up on your favorite bloggers and read for pure enjoyment.
when life gets too busy, rest...take time for yourself to reflect and recharge, and join back in when you're ready. because the world is waiting for you, it'll be there when you come back.
when life gets too busy, what do you do? as school starts up again and we head into the holiday season, don't forget to take some time to rest in the Lord, read a book, and drink some tea. don't let the hustle and bustle get to you. remember it's okay to take time to stop and reflect.
have a wonderful weekend,
elizabeth

ReplyDeleteWhen life get's too busy I listen to Switchfoot and sip coffee or watch an old sit com.... But I'm curious (like Julia is)....what do you do when life becomes hectic?
ReplyDeleteHOLLA. because we need to slow down when life is going fast. i get this deep down. x God is good yo.
ReplyDelete'teach her how to swing and ask her to show you how to waltz.' - This sounds so perfect <3 Funny how something so simple as resting is something you have to fight for.
