Lately I've realized that I'm just going going going
Wednesdays are my day "off"
Every other Wednesday I do a bible study with a dear dear friend
This Wednesday was completely "free"
I had a list a mile long that I was determined to accomplish
I did nothing except workout
I sat in the peacefulness of my empty house
I sat in the quiet solitude of my own thoughts
I cannot begin to describe how much I gained from those few moments
I will take time each and every day, even if it is 10 minutes to just be alone
No television
No radio
No computer
No lists or interruptions
Just "be" in the moment
Time passes by all too quickly
We cannot stop it
We can only stop ourselves
Even if it is just a moment.

Those moments are truly the times we can hear God speak to us, if only we will take the time to listen.
Good for you for being intentional about this; no one else will carve that time out for you, you must do it for yourself!
This is a good habit to develop, Suzann. I started it years ago when my four children were still young and at home. In those days "Calgon, take me away" was a slogan I used cause the bath was the only slice of time I could carve for myself usually, but it worked :)

i think we're way to inundated with electronics! I need to learn to just turn all of our stuff off as well~!
glad to see you're still working out!
