Moving On with H

[BeingMe]

Summer is in full swing, and in between studying, visiting my D26, driving my D13 to various activities and friend's homes, and so on, and so on. I have come to realise that we seldom take the time to just chill out, spend a little time in the sun, read a book, watch a movie, just relax. Anyway, along that theme, I read in an e-newsletter (from www.incitecoaching.com), the following:

"How-to Incite Action: A little T.L.C.
We all need a little T.L.C. from time to time! Dive into the second half of '06 with this formula:

* T = Think: Pull a chair into the sunshine and think about the people and gifts you are grateful for. Are you spending time nurturing those relationships and talents? Are you living your values?
* L = Live: What have you been putting off? The year is ticking by. What can you do TODAY to make those important things happen in the weeks to come?
* C = Clear: Last week I stripped all the tiny notes off my bulletin board and replaced them with 7 important goals (mid-year resolutions) and a few of my sons finger paintings! What can you clear away in your home, office or mind to make space for what's really important?

We can't always afford the luxury of reflection. But when we create that small bubble of time (or when it is suddenly created for us) the opportunity to refocus and reinvent is astounding. Now head outside and let that sunshine fuel your mid-year resolutions!"

I hope this encourages us to see that our marriages is just a part of our lives, not the absolute focus, and as much as we should put our efforts into creating a wonderfully new R with our spouses, don't forget to take care of yourself, don't stress about it, because most of us have come to realise that, no matter what, we will be okay. Just take a little time to just BE in the moment.

Well, that's my little July theme.
