Halt

Image result for halt




For more than two decades,  I had my hands full with a family, a job, and a never ending ambition to move forward.... fast. I was the queen of multitasking, juggling two or three tasks at the same time. I did well, very well in most cases. The moment I finished a task, other ones popped out of nowhere and I hurried to do more. One "success" lead to anther, one step followed another. I was lucky to have a supportive husband and lovely kids. I was hardworking and determined and , in most cases, my efforts were appreciated. but to tell you the truth, I never had time to enjoy or feel those alleged successes. 
  Then there was a halt......................... A long one......... 
 I like to call it that, or a pause, but not a stop.  I still feel I can do more, but I have to do whatever I do more consciously, I want to be fully present through what is left of the journey. I don't want to function on automatic pilot like I did for years. I don't want to rush things;  I don't want to worry and fret over the trivial stuff;  I want to live while achieving things.  Wish me luck.
