Snatched from my Inbox – a text message from cousin Bernie:
Practice the pause…
When in doubt, practice the pause.
When angry, practice the pause.
When tired, practice the pause.
When stressed, practice the pause.
Breathe…
Clear the mind…
View from a different perspective…
Smile…
Laugh…
Sleep…
Dream…
Even your heart needs rest.
I have been into frequent pauses in updating my blog. There comes a time in our lives that things become so taxing; and even the cakes and ales can become so boring. That is why I did not promise myself to write one blog post each day. I know I will not be true to my promise. Monotony can consume the entirety of it all. So pause I did.
I don’t want to stop. Blogging, is what I mean. Somehow it has become a therapy. But during times that work and house chores become toxic, I pause with no further ado. The negative emotions from being dead-tired, stressed, depressed, et al, will surely manifest.
So, if this blog has no updates for quite sometime again in the future, I am only taking a pause. “Will be back shortly” – wish I can create a blinking badge with that phrase.
