There is a large box of buttons in my sewing box that I have been meaning to sort for a few years now, but just couldn't get to it because I always felt like I should be doing something more important. A few weeks ago, I attended a forum which made me realize that I can stop living for "someday" and relax my mind; to be present in whatever I decide to do, and to do whatever I want, whenever I want. What a novel idea! I grew up being very busy with things that had purpose and meaning, and felt compelled to apply pressure on myself as an adult. The older I got, the more unsettled I became. And all the while, that box of buttons kept calling out to me.
After the forum I gave myself permission to stop the insanity. I pulled the box of buttons out of my sewing box, poured the contents onto my desk and began to sort. I immersed myself into the most relaxing three hours I had felt in many years. Ahhhhh...
