Where is your quiet space in life? Do you even have one? Or is your life just a barrage of work, driving, questions, money issues, to-do-lists, schedules and running on a please everyone treadmill?
I have a quiet space .... sometimes the only hour in my entire week. I spend it in my church, in the Adoration Chapel. In silence. Praying or simply just sitting. And listening. To God. My priest says I have to listen. And wait.
I am better with Listen than I am with Wait.
I am pretty much the "go-to" person in my life. As if I have this library of useful and useless facts just swirling around my brain waiting to be dispensed ...... but sometimes my battery runs flat. I wish I had a jumpstart machine for myself, much like for a car. I find myself in a "please just stop and give me a hug" week this week. But very often we don't have time to stop and notice when usually "out there" busy people are in need.
So a friend told me today to institute a "don't ask me anything for the first 30 mins after I arrive home" rule. So I can just find my space. Before I start answering the barrage of questions and sorting out the world's problems, just in my house.
So I am lucky to have that hour a week ...... but I intend to try and stretch it to two.
till soon, find YOUR space
c'est la vie xxx
