Why? Why the negative self talk? not doing enough? What is my need to be in constant motion, in doing? If I find myself having a quiet moment, all of a sudden my alarms bells go off in my head, like you should be doing something useful!

Why not? A pause, a moment to breathe, reflect, integrate the day, center in as I close my eyes, which brings me instant peace. Why not?

But then my running list of to dos, that really never ends, and same with house work, there’s always more. LOL But none of that matters, because that’s just part of life. I actually enjoy the chores at this point, I’ve made them my meditations, times to think through whatever is bubbling up for me that day.

Cooking has really become a wonderful creative outlet for me, it’s been fun experimenting with different recipes, and adapting them to our little Emeril Lagasse oven fryer, so fun! I enjoy creating healthy delicious meals for us to eat every day that I can. It always pays off, cooking, even when I think I’m not in the mood. I always end up surprising myself. LOL
