People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Week 2 Assignment...Journey On...
Maybe I'll have time for meditation when my kids go to college?!? My experience with this was very frustrating! As relaxing as the music and the vocal prompts were, I was NEVER able to complete the whole exercise without being interrupted! Of course, I am invisible until I am either 1-on the phone, or 2-wearing earphones at the computer. I've come to accept that this is just a law of the universe. A few of the "emergencies" that I had to tend to were fairly valid and unfortunately as a parent of young children, you simply CANNOT just block it all out! So my journey with meditation will have to start in the morning before everyone else is awake or in about 16 years :)

Hi Marcie-
ReplyDeleteOh how well I remember those days! Now that all my children are grown, it seems too quiet and sometimes I long for that interaction. I am learning how to be content in the season I am in, and right now that is the empty nest season. Every interruption you experience is an opportunity-- to be there for those little ones, to show them love, compassion, and patience. One day you will wake up and poof they will be gone. I want to look back on my life at the end and say I had no regrets! I hope that you can say that as well- keep up the great work!
