A little worn ....

Do you get those days?  Then you  focus and realise that time carries on with or
without you!

But hey , it's realising that it's not entirely a lull if you've been caught up with routine. It's what keeps us all going if only in circles ~ it's good right? Just keep on moving if it's only on the spot !

You know those times when you are making memories with your children or grandbabies, they are so precious . They are moments you would relive over and over in a blink if you could.

Those days at the park, when you are pushing them on a swing, and time stands still ~ when they are busy wanting to go higher and higher and their laughter echoes through the breeze. You see their little legs running through the air and their delight is in your arms aching !  Absolutely priceless.

That little worn patch of ground where the grass is gone from the times you have just seemingly stood still ~ while they are moving on up and seeing the world from on high! That is what it's all about! That is what it means !  That is what being a parent is ! Without that little patch of worn grass which might not be the prettiest patch ~ the rest of the world might never be reached without you first taking a stand and being just simply 'there'....

So those times you can't get everything done. Don't worry! Don't feel you are letting anyone down ! Don't give up. We get too caught up with comparisons sometimes.

Listen to the quiet. Don't feel isolated by it. Tune in and be happy with the simple things.

Just enjoy where you are right now. Be complicated or lighthearted. Climb mountains or do absolutely nothing. Do not let your worries spiral. Sit a while and just gaze. You are appreciated more than you thought! You are making a difference and you matter more than you know.
