You know that I have been expressing to you the need to take some time for yourself - "ME". Well, I figure I better show by example. Taking time to smell the roses is a great reality check from Depression. This is a must for my life. You need to make it a must for your life. Life will be so much more enjoyable and so will work in the end.
Ever just enjoy your day by spending time with friends? We went canoeing on the Peace River this week-end. Seven canoes, 8 miles, 14 friends with 5 hours of wilderness grandeur. What a great time!!! I love the outdoors, especially when there are no mosquitoes. I live in SWFL and this time of year, except for those pesky bugs, is a really great time to combine the outdoors, with sunshine, nature and friends. What a wake up call or reality check.
The reality check came from the enormous oak and cypress trees just overflowing with spanish moss. The turtles taking time to sun bathe on logs with no need to rush. Water flowing to the point of just carrying your canoe along almost effortlessly. Fresh air that penetrated your lungs cleansing your mind and body. Laughter so contagious at times you couldn't catch your breath. Friends that share your passion for life, themselves needing a reality check.
Yes we must work, yes we must be responsible, yes we must take care of our daily needs, but the reality is that life is stressful, life is complicated, life can get out of control so we must learn to balance work with pleasure. The reality of it all. If you haven't had a reality check lately make time for one. Your favorite spot, your favorite people, equals a contagious reality check from depression Girlfriends!!!
