I looked at this puzzle today.
This puzzle sits in the kitchen of my office. Periodically, I’ll put in a few pieces when I need to relax. I realized how puzzling our lives are much of the time. There are many things to think about and to do! Our agendas are self created and depend on our schooling, work, and home responsibilities. They can become overwhelming. Add in doctors appointments, church functions, family members needs, and boom the day is done.
If you are like me, there are always have plenty of things to do. I walk into the office and I am on fast forward. Lots of projects to do even before I see patients. Catch up on phone messages. Get the computer boosted up. Turn on the music playlists. Return phone calls. Add magazines to the foyer for patients to enjoy. Open the windows for fresh air or turn on the air. Sit down and blog or work on sheets for handouts.
Days go quickly when there is much to be done. Billing is done and files are refiled. The pieces of each day are put together to form the daily, weekly, monthly puzzle of life.
Honestly, I love this sort of lifestyle and it keeps me going. Type A achievers are self energized! Our lists continue on. Even as one scratches things off the list, more are added onto the list.
So how about you?
If you are not a self starter, tell me how does that work? Do you put yourself into groups to help? Do you let others initiate the process of living for you? Do you let each day just evolve? What do you do to relax during the busy day? Is it seeing a friend over lunch?
Whatever you do to make life happier, “delight in living” and enjoy the small minutes of grace!
