The journey is hard
this journey of life
and I always lived
it so tough
From one task to another
never finishing everything
on my list - my
never ending list
I worried, I hurried
I guilted myself
I worked and I
rarely slept
Till one day my
world exploded and
I feel down
so low
Twas a blessing
in disguise because
my route back
forced me to learn
Who I really
wanted to be what
was important and
what was not
I’ve learned to slow
down and see the world
around me in all its
glory
The birds and
the bees
and
the sun
Now you’ll find
me quietly taking time
to stop and
rest
and be...
I was talking to a friend this past week and I realized that my generation of women were really the Corporate Pioneers. Women had always been teachers and nurses, but never the school principal or the doctor.
Our generation was told that we could have it all. And so we all tried to grab that elusive prize, never realizing until it was too late that the price for having it all was so high that who would really want it?
It's a documented fact that I had a mid-life melt down, but I think the majority of women do. Some bigger than others, but still I hope my children's generation learns to slow down and just enjoy the moment. I was always so busy planning for the next big thing that I missed every single moment.
And the moments are where we truly live...
