Time stands still

I've been told this old clock came from the county courthouse a long time ago. It came to us through my grandmother, who has lived in this county all her life as far as I know. Many antiques and heirlooms come down to us this way from one generation to the next steeped in history.

In terms of time, the good news is I'm refreshed, rested, recovered from the mental and physical exhaustion of the past year it seems. I've been on "GO" non-stop with hardly a moment of downtime for a long while now and so sleeping in a warm comfy bed, slowing down, and eating well in the familiarity of home is a good thing. The bad news is now that I'm rested up I'm restless again! And so continues the bane of my personality, the duality of my nature. A nature I have little control over but simply exerts itself. My birth sign is that of the Gemini, the twins. Its a sign that suits me very well.

So, trying to live in the moment, presently and with deep breathes. My muscles twitch for outdoor adventures and my brain is bubbling over like a bursting volcano in ideas. Trying to harness and tame all this energy is the tricky part. One day, one project at a time. And then I am off, like a comet through the sky, a dandelion seed in the wind....

For now though I am teaching myself to learn to enjoy these moments, even when time itself stands still.
