For some reason the name of a play
from the early 1960s, Stop the World – I
Want to Get Off has been running through my mind. A quick look at my Google
calendar would explain that reason. Are you feeling a little over-scheduled and
hectic lately?
I hope not. My prayer for you is
that you are enjoying life to the fullest and surrounded by like-minded, loving
individuals. Then again, I am experiencing that and I still feel stressed
sometimes. Why?
It comes from the fact that even
if we are doing what we love to do we can still use a change of pace or a new
venue from time-to-time. I’ve heard someone say, “Well at least he died doing
what he loved!” Maybe if the guy had taken a break and re-focused his energy
once in a while he’d still be doing what he loved instead of being dead.
In a recent email, Rev. Noel
McGinnis reminded me of this fact: We
have freedom of choice, but not of consequence. While I truly believe we are Spirit having a human experience I also
understand that our bodies were not meant to run
non-stop, never resting. Yes, my car can be driven over 300 miles on a tank of
gas, but soon after that it will come to a stop if I don’t refill the tank. The
same is true for us.
At some
point this week … please … stop your world. Take time for yourself. Be
selfishly indulgent. Love yourself like you were taking care of the person who
holds the biggest place in your heart.
In Spirit, Truth and Playfulness,
Terry
