Slowing. . .

 My point with this post: May we make time to Be

just Be.


Slowing down can lead to Reflection

Reflection can lead to Insights.

Insights can guide us in life. . .


I have moments when I can slow. . .

when I’m able to 


de-celerate thinking

ease feelings

stop doing too much. . . 


when I can just Be


This is for us and me, so we can make/take time to Be present with our selves, as well as our surroundings and we can


Reflect. . .


Home life photos w/ captions can be taken as a story.


May you perceive something of value for YOU from my story


Photos 1+2 Midmorning moseying around


As she, @oreoturtle works on relevant scholarly “stuffs” upstairs, I am in the kitchen about to do laundry, making breakfast that I’ll bring up to her. I’ll eat as I do stuff around the house.


Photos 3-6: CATS. 


As I mosey, I pay attention to our three Cats. . .


We have our cat, ZuZu, an older, grey INDOOR-and-some-outdoor kinda cat.  


We also have Pepper & Ozzie, both younger, OUTDOOR-and-some-indoor type of cats.  


These two guys came with this house that we got about two years ago.


Ozzie comes in from the backyard and hops up on the kitchen sink.


Photo 7 Being Reflecting and Flowing


I stop moseying to settle into a reflective mode. I stand at our counter that serves as a bar and a place to just Be.  I look out at the yard and look into my inner world. I consider goals and tasks.


In front of me, on our bar / ”Being”-Counter are papers with notes of various tasks I’ll organize, a computer and a book I’m enjoying reading, a gift from a good friend.


I think about life; I muse. . .


I flow: read some, write some, ponder this . . . think about that.


I am Content to Be. . .


May we make time to Be. . .


just Be.


Before posting this, I slow read what I wrote and eally took time to look at the photos.


Some things of value that come to me as I slowly take in these words and images:


My age, 45 and how life has changed, how I’ve changed.


Home life, Family life, aging loved ones, including ZuZu


How our bodies change as we age and how we can adapt to these changes.


My family/friends . .  how to MAINTAIN as well GROW relationships.


Home improvement


Work/Career-Life Balance


Balancing. . .

Balancing our Growth and Development of:


Our Heart

Our Spirit

Our Mind

Our Body


How to balance those 4 areas of Being with one another


Mischief, Curiosity, Exploration (inspired by Ozzie on the kitchen sink)


YOU, may you make time to Be, just Be.


Slowing down can lead to Reflection

Reflection can lead to Insights.

Insights can guide us in life. . .
