Life is so hard.
And it can get so overwhelming.
With the forms that need to be filled out, the dishes that need to be washed, the bills that need to be paid.
And how are you possibly supposed to have time to do the things that you enjoy AND get enough sleep?
These worries and responsibilities make it so easy to rush through life, always preparing for the next minute.
Isn't that so silly though?
I think we make it harder on ourselves by constantly letting the worry and anxiety fill us up.
To the point that we have no room left for sitting still.
Life is so much less complicated when I can sit and do a puzzle with Mason or play a game with Derek.
It is so much less complicated when I can try to box my anxieties into a one hour time slot each day.
Because really, life is simple.
We need to love each other and enjoy each other.
While bills and dishes and forms are important, they really aren't the MOST important.
They can wait until after you've kissed a booboo or hugged your spouse.
We can make life less complicated and overwhelming by choosing to not let it control us.
By trying to quiet our minds even though it often speaks louder than everything around us.
