Ramblings of an off week
Maybe it was the long weekend I had (pictures coming soon) or maybe it's the fact that this week is just FLYING by. Seriously, it's already Thursday?!! But, I'm feeling a little off this week. I keep getting my days confused. I feel like I'm standing still and simply watching my life fly right by. When I look back on the past few days I know that I lived those days, I know that I got up, got dressed and went to work, came home, cooked dinner, showered and went to bed. And I know I breathed every breathe, but my mind sees it all as one big blur.
I don't want to wake up one day 80 years old and wonder where my life went, Rip Van Winkle style. I need to take control of my life again. I want to remember every breathe. I want to actually taste my food. I want to live my life.
So. My first step in taking control of my life - I stopped to smell the roses...
gosh your weeks sounds a whole lot like mine! i , too, need to stop and smell the roses. i'm thinking i need a new adventure to help me step back and appreciate everything. like maybe a vacation?! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you feel like things are a blur! Sometimes that happens to me too... but it's good to realize you need to slow down a little.
ReplyDeletep.s. That butterfly picture is amazing!
what a great reminder alisha, it is hard to stop and slow down and just be still. this crazy thing called life can really sweep you up and get you away from the place you really want to be. hope you stop and smells the roses a bit more frequently :-)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for how you have been feeling. :(
ReplyDeleteI do love your pictures. :)
Beautiful post, I love pictures of flowers :)I can't believe it's thursday either, I want the rest of summer to go slowly no speedy by!
ReplyDeleteGreat attention to detail in these photographs.
ReplyDeleteYou put into words what goes through my mind too often. I don't want my life to be one big blur either. Thank you for reminding us to slow things down a little!
ReplyDeletelovely post:) I have been feeling the same way lately! I have made a goal to try and live with more mindfulness. living in the present, and enjoying each moment as it comes:)
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos!
For as much beauty as the summertime brings, it sure tends to bring whirlwind days as well. Bravo on remembering the little things.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great first step!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how fast time seems to go by these days. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a robot going through the day. You're so right, if we don't slow down and soak in each of these moments, we'll be old and gray before we know it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder Alisha :)
That last picture of the butterfly? STUNNING.
