Slowing down

Tonight I had a rare occasion to go the market all by myself. No children in tow. This really is something rare. So when it comes around I enjoy it!

I even take picture at the market. ;)

Anyway, what I realized while I was slowly walking through the aisles is how I want to slow down. This might sound like I am suddenly "old" but really what I mean is to walk this life a little more slowly and with more depth and meaning. As I had a bad back this summer and needed to rest for a couple of days on the floor I noticed how busy I tend to keep myself. There is always something to put away, clean, e-mail about, look up.... But really what is the rush?

So I am very happy to be back here, because it actually helps me to reflect more on the day to day happenings, on my children, on my self.

Off to slow down and find more meaning in all that I do.
