Watching Life Go By

Sometimes when we're not sure of what to do, it's okay to watch life go by. It's in our nature to want to move things along and by doing so, we may not make the best decisions. But for some of us, any decision is better than none. It's times like these that if we had waited to think about how our behaviors and actions have consequences way into the future, we may have reflected upon our situation a little longer. We assume that others wait for our responses far longer than they actually do. We'd be surprise that the amount of time we spend waiting to respond seems much longer to us than it does to others. Sometimes the answers may come quickly or in some cases may not come at all. It's through our experiences that we find many of our answers. Today, be patient with yourself. Don't stress yourself needlessly. Be okay with who you are and what you don't know because all will be revealed in time.

Watching life go by is easier on a beautiful day...

(As a person who has difficulty not doing anything, watching life go by isn't easy. I'm always planning or organizing in my head. Although I understand the importance of just "being", it's a work in progress for now. Being together with family this weekend is helping me to relax.)
