Love this post. Truth. As a poet and writer, I waste SO much time looking out the window or at the sky or paying attention to whatever's in my field of vision or hearing or smelling. Yesterday, I worked on creating a vision board for 2023. One of the quotes I chose: "You don't have time to waste, life is fragile," which I read in an article about Myriam Nicodemus, a South Bend filmmaker and entrepreneur. She picked up the quote from her spouse who served in the military. I love paradox, and I like how today's Daily Boost post mashed up against the quote I chose yesterday, how both are true even though they seem to say the opposite thing.
I find my peace in stillness….whether it be sitting outside with my feral cat friends in the sunshine, listening to birdsong………Indoors crocheting stills my mind…..no to-do’s…just be’s 🧘
This is really important - I have a hard time wasting time, my upbringing was such that I shouldn't waste a single minute. I often find inspiration when I am walking which is technically not wasting time 😅 but I am wondering a lot these days whether I need to waste more time...or just try to rest and be open to inspiration

Life is lived at the center of paradox! Waste. Don't waste. 😊

"No to-do's ... just be's." Love that.

Give yourself permission to do what you want to do!
That's the key isn't it - to allow myself to do it 😅
Maybe not only "allow" but "encourage"?
