I like peace and quiet. I like things orderly and succinct.
I don’t like too much unnecessary noise (or words for that matter). I love to
just BE. I don’t like to be busy or to be rushed. I am a human being not a
human doing after all. I know, I know, a corny one too.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I know that’s what you were thinking, so I went ahead and
said it for you.
The other day I said to Tim, “I can’t keep up with my life.
I can’t respond to everyone, let alone in a timely fashion. I can’t catch my
breath, literally or figuratively.” Without missing a beat, he motioned to what
was going on next to us. Three little boys, all crammed into T-Bone’s crib,
jumping up and down, squealing and having the time of their life.
Oh wait…my life IS those 3 little boys jumping up and down (on
one another) in that crib. I need to respond (in a timely fashion) to them. I
need to be present with them. I need to embrace
their chaos….not complain about it. Enjoy it. Enjoy the chaos. Enjoy the chaos.
If I repeat it enough, maybe it will start to happen.
Actually, I know it will. I can’t lie, that sounds
literally impossible to me, but those 3 little words, embrace the chaos, were given to me as an assignment by One who
knows far more than I, so I am confident I can do it. I’m up to the challenge.
So here’s to chaos, cheers!
