Went to CRAFT + COFFEE yesterday with …to let go of the daily grind, to ignore my scheduled days, to oppose my appointment-filled calendar, to laugh in the face of my busy life as it unfolds before me.
Sometimes I gotta step back and say: “STOP!”
Because this is not what I want!
To drown in life. To let life live me and not me live life.
It’s hard to break away from the rut, which interestingly enough doesn’t feel like a rut while I power through the day.
But at night, when I fall into bed exhausted, and find myself making a mental list of all the things I have to do tomorrow, adding all the things I didn’t quite get done today…then it becomes clear! I am in a rut.
MAHALO to Shannon for letting me play with paper and glue, color and texture.
MAHALO for some much needed completely unscheduled unbridled fun and creativity!!!
What do you do to take time off from life? Any craft circles, creative classes? Any moments you take for yourself like a walk, reading a book, writing a letter?
Please share your inspirations in the comments for us!
Aloha, a.
