Being childlike once more

Aside from the blog traffic, what I love Entrecard is when I find great blogs that inspire me. One of the blogs I found through Entrecard is Live Passionately. It is an inspiring blog that I am a subscriber to. Her most recent post inspired this entry. Her post is entitled Beauty Happens in the Stillness of Your Presence.

Her post talks about a childlike timeout. It says…

When is the last time you gazed up into clouds, and discovered a creative activity or type of artistic expression that is intended to be beautiful or thought-provoking.

In all honesty, it’s been years since I last looked in the sky in the eyes of a child. When I look up, it is always with worry. I have never had a single day for years now that I wake up without a worry. Christine’s post made me stop and think about those times when I enjoy just staring up in the sky and figuring out if I was seeing an angel, a teddy bear, a hand, a smile… Even at night, I love staring at the stars and wishing for things that are beyond my reach. It makes the child in me happy. These days, with worries about so many things, health, finances, the future, well, you can just imagine how that could dampen a day.

I am always catching up: work, family issues, personal issues, the wanderlust in me…

Christine: Ask yourself this question: How am I going to love and honor myself today?

I am planning to take a day off tomorrow. A day solely for ME. I will watch this cheesy movie opening tomorrow. I will have a foot spa. I will drink coffee and look up in the sky and see if I can find the teddy bear that I saw a couple of years ago.

Note: Thank you, Christine, for a post that inspired me.
