Well, here I am - five days into Spring. Instead of pleasurably anticipating all the desirable things I alluded to in my last post, I feel more like a bear that doesn't want to wake up from hibernation. After sleeping up to ten hours at night, I still find myself taking one or two naps every day. Even when I'm awake and out of bed, I feel like I'm moving - both physically and mentally - at a slower speed.
Sometimes this feels very frustrating. It doesn't seem like I'm getting much done, and sometimes I don't feel like I have a good handle on what I should be doing.
But . . . there is another side to this. Moving at a slower speed forces me to be more present in the now. I have to be more focused on the person or the chore or the information in front of me. Multi-tasking is less of an option, but being conscious of what I am doing is more crucial. I think I may be noticing things I may have missed when operating at a more energetic pace.
Mmmmm. Sounds like I'm back to enjoying the journey again.
