As I work through my dreams and aspirations this year, I want to find time to enjoy some quiet. When life gets busy and energy gets depleted I tend to eliminate the things that energize me. I need time to plan, to organize, to pause, to dream and then to act on those dreams. Quiet time and meditation shouldn't seem like such a difficult thing to achieve. But as I get older, instead of having more time, I seem to have less.
Right now I am working on simplifying and cleaning my home. I often wonder how I can gather so much stuff. Usually in January I go through closets and cupboards and get rid of unnessessary items. Yet every January there seems to be another pile. I want my path into spring to be uncluttered and simple.
Summer will be here before I know it. I want to be more aware and grateful for my surroundings. I think this is possible through organization and simplicity. I want to take the time to do the important things that feed my soul.
But, I need to start practicing now, so as the months pass I will continue to walk down a "gentle path." I want the energy to plant my flowers, to be organized so I can sit and read a book or do whatever makes me feel quiet and happy. After almost sixty years of living I think it's time to just enjoy the little ones and then indulge myself with simple pleasures.

I want to be the girl in the white dress on the beach. Do you know anyone with a hat I can borrow?
