"I feel very much like a person who has a calm and regular daily routine."
This quote was shamelessly stolen from one of my favourite blogs (Three Beautiful Things). She has this amazing way with words, and I often feel when reading her blog, that I have a special door to 1800's England.
Anyway... I digress... this past season has been ridiculously busy. I cannot even begin to tell you! There are things in my life that I feel very strongly about... relaxation is one, open space on my calendar that allows me to flexible enough to assist a friend in need is another. Both of those have been in VERY short supply- I have blinked and missed April and May!
As a result, the above quote that we began with is so far from my life right now, that when I read it, it was almost a physical shot in the gut. I am not sure how I am going to achieve it, but I know that there NEEDS to be a routine in my life that is both calm and regular!
A calm and regular routine has NOTHING to do with boring, or in a rut (which I suppose is the fear) but rather, when you have a stable and regular routine, the important things (like groceries, cleaning, and friendships) don't get overlooked. I have been running from pillar to post, only to stop, look around and realize that there is nothing in my fridge, and that I haven't spoken to the important people in my world for a couple of weeks!
This is unacceptable and........ well .... it just needs to stop!!
So 3 weeks from next Tuesday when I have my next open chunk of time, I will for sure sit down and make a plan-unless something else comes up!! *grin*

About Me

- At the age of 33, I am further ahead and further behind than I wanted to be! Over the last 7 years, God has taken me on a journey whose destination was a passion to see Single Christian Women living in the bounty of God's favour. I have been writing my way through this journey, and you will experience the good days and the bad days, the joys and the pains! God has torn me apart and is working on the rebuilding. Like all renovations projects, this is taking longer than I thought it would and has cost me more, but I am beginning to see the final product! It is my earnest hope that something you read here will inspire, uplift, or even just let you know that you're normal! Beware: there are no platitudes, or frivolous cliches, this is the messy stuff, the fun stuff.

Oh do I ever hear you Laura. The more routine and schedule I master the more I am available to give ...well...more. However with more on my plate it is much more crucial that I stay in the routine or else there is back log and that gets harder when things are busy. I am really working on this area of my life. We can do it girl-we really can!
