We all strive to live a deliberate life. On and off. Now and then. We don't want life to just happen to us. We want to make life happen. We don't want to go from one HAVE TO to the next. We want there to be some WANT TO mixed in. We want to LIVE our life not just float through it. At least that sounds real good. But, really, with a husband, a house, kids, a church and friends, who has the time to think much less live?
Well, I found a very conscious two minutes, once or twice a day!! Sonicare!! No, really, hear me out. Before, brushing my teeth was something to do while I read one last page before bed. Or something to do in the shower while my hair got wet. But now. No way! I concentrate. I feel the bristles. That beep goes off and I move that brush to the next quadrant. For two whole minutes, I am in the moment. Everyday!! Sometimes twice. Now if I could just get this much fulfillment out of doing dishes.
