Its been a while since I have had a break such as this. This period before I leave for Korea has made me appreciate being able to relax. I love not being driven by deadlines, not rushing to accomplish errands, and absolutely not being controlled by a power call time.
Since the start of my second year, my mind has been constantly occupied with work. From going from Fall to Winter to Spring term, to signing myself up for an online course that lasted longer than the summer months, to enduring through the most recent and time consuming term, there has not been an actual cut off from the academic world for me. Though I'm employed, retail is dead this month, thus I barely consider myself employed either. I would think I would start complaining about the lack of shifts and things for me to do, but I'm feeling quite the opposite surprisingly.
I adore the freedom I have and being open to the possibilities of each new day. I look forward to meeting up with friends, enjoying conversation over a delicious meal, accomplishing my errands at an unrestricted pace, and being able to reflect when I can, even in the middle of a yoga pose. My schedule is so flexible and diversely flamboyant- its lightness and easy going spirit surely delights me.
Its not like I have zip-o things to do either, I go about completing the course of my day,and believe it or not, I still wake up early each day to make the most of it (its drilled in my internal clock). I guess I'm more of an early bird than a night owl, but if this is what's in store for retirement, I'm anticipating!
May you be filled with the Lord's peace in light of the stress or worries you are holding on to. Let it go and let His work flow.
nice to take a step back every once in a while eh? (=
