Thursday Thoughts: Universal Always

It’s holiday season. Shopping. Cooking. Decorating. Cleaning. Parties. Family. Friends. What do you mean Christmas is only 11 sleeps away?!?!?! **muppet flail** And in my case, it’s DEADLINE!!!! THE BOOK!!!! NOT DONE!!!! **more muppet flailing** Okay, everyone. Including me. Stop. Take a deep breath. Grab the relaxing beverage of your choice. SIT DOWN! Take another deep breath. And read this from the Universe…

In case you haven’t noticed, Silver, the sun doesn’t always rise in crimson.

The wind doesn’t always blow from the south.

The rains don’t always fall on the plains.

And so must you allow for your own rhythms in time.

Always in love,
  The Universe

P.S. Plus, Silver, when things slow, it creates the rest you need to become even more.

So there you go. You have permission and the reasons why you need to take care of yourself. Writers are notorious for ignoring self-care. We drink too much caffiene, we sleep erratically, we fret over…well…everything! Caregivers also fall into this trap. And moms, single parents, over-achievers. Gotta admit, we’re in good company. So, do all of us–and yourself–a favor, um-kay? Find the rhythm of your life, listen to the beat and learn to dance along, whether it’s a quick-footed jitterbug with strobe lights or a-shuffling slow dance in the dark by candlelight. We like having you around. And nobody can run on empty. Just sayin’…
