I was given this scripture to read in a workshop yesterday and it really struck me - that I really need to 'do' a lot more than I have been doing!
I think about 'doing' good things all the time - worthwhile, useful things. Then I read a book or putter about instead! Meanwhile, my time on earth is wasting away...
Abby gave me a lovely little book a few days ago, (thank you Abby! :) called, 'it's a happy thing'. One of the quotes from it reads,
"Live with your whole being... all the days of your life!
Your reward will be true happiness!
(Rebecca Thomas Shaw)
-not a new thought, but perhaps a timely nudge!
A doctor once described me in a reference (I was a nurse), as being 'self-actualized' to a high degree. It was true then, but I'm sorry to admit that it hasn't been true lately :( I am too often paralysed into inactivity by procrastination. I've got so much that I want to do that I often do nothing at all!Why am I inflicting this on you? lol :) I don't usually write down, or like to write down goals etc. But perhaps I can write soon that I am, in fact, 'doing' better - a small framework of accountablility as such.
Meanwhile - it's a gloriously beautiful day outside; it's a public holiday; my husband is on his way home from dropping the twins at a friend's house, to spend the afternoon with me; I had a great sleep last night; my life is full of blessings... (My husband just got home -with eggs benedict for lunch :)
And of course, I have some good books to read and some puttering about to do!
(haha - just kidding, kind of! I'm going to do better. Thanks for listening :) I'll be here all week folks :)

ReplyDeleteWhat’s funny is reading “lol” on your blog You’re sooo with the lingo mum! It’s a lovely scripture though. Was that the Gibson’s workshop? I was asking Dad about it, and it sounds like it was a really nice one. I think it’s a bit of a timely ‘nudge’ for me too.

Sandy I love that scripture, thankyou for sharing and your post was a reminder and nudge for me too! Now where can I find more time in the day? (How about now, instead of blogging?)LOL.
ReplyDeleteThankyou also for my flowers Abby and Sandy. They are on my dining table and Im looking at them now!
You will accomplish much. Maybe if you get a yearly diary and write down each day what you would like to do and accomplish and then try and keep it. That's what I do. Some days all is crossed off, other days not quite, but it gives me some direction in my days. I have the perfect book to tell you how ;)
