Apparently som...Perfect timing on this post, Meri. Apparently someone ran over a two-year-old at a market in China and about a dozen people looked at this child and kept walking. Unreal. I have felt totally frazzled these past few weeks and I can't stop sighing. Yesterday I decided to put the brakes on and I did some painting (art, not walls!). It was just the slowing down that I needed.

But I too have found myself "flailing my arms" and feeling very much "out of control" recently. I'm off to look for my pause button right now. Thanks for a great post!!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818861980843167968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-83541201230110449322011-10-17T12:05:11.416-07:002011-10-17T12:05:11.416-07:00Meri, this is a really important post. You are so...Meri, this is a really important post. You are so very right about how we live these days. And this man in the video is so great! Who is he? I love him!<br />A friend told me recently that many poeple that meditate sit down at 9pm to do it. I have been trying to sit still for just five minutes (on any day I can remember to do so!) at 9pm and just be. I even put the knitting down. Just five minutes. And on the days I have managed it I have felt so blessed in my life.<br />Let us D-parents all try it and see if it makes a difference!<br />I love your perspective on it all. xxxJules https://www.blogger.com/profile/01372324417732567461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-51342882090873418862011-10-17T11:27:50.880-07:002011-10-17T11:27:50.880-07:00Priceless video... so true. How many times have I...Priceless video... so true. How many times have I grumbled about how long it takes for the number to pop up on the ketone meter?<br /><br />It is especially hard as a mother of small children to find that pause button, because they are go, go, go all the time!<br /><br />But as Ferris Bueller once said, "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look aound once in awhile, you could miss it."<br /><br />(how sad that I didn't even have to google that).<br /><br />Anyway, I am intent on not missing out on these days. I'm trying to not get caught up in the craziness of life and just enjoy the "now" with my wonderful kids.<br /><br />Thanks for this post Meri!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.com
