Life can be so overwhelming that we tend to forget that Magick is all around us. On the weekends we like to take a hike up a mountain close by which has a small lake at the top of it. It is here that time seems to slow down just a tat, enough to appreciate the true Magick in life.Family becomes the center of all of it. Raising children is such a huge responsibility, hate people who take it so lightly. I am truly blessed to have such a beautiful family and wonderful partner in life, he truly is my soul mate and a great teacher of mine. Although, I can do without him some days and it all depends on the time of the day. I guess that is just part of it all. Same goes with our kids, very challenging in deed, but magickal all on its self.
I always tell people that there is magic all around us.. I've said it to my kids since they were babies and now to my grandsons.. It's true.. You just have to look for it.. Teaching someone to look for the magic and the good in life is so much easier than showing them the dark and dismal and pointing out all the negative, which of course just brings more of the same. It totally baffles me why most people choose to see only the bad in life..
ReplyDeleteThere are days I notice it more then others but it is wonderful when we stop to take it all in. With society as it is I find it harder to teach people to look at the good rather then the bad. I teach by example, I hold my self and other to very high standards. I get a lot of, "you think your perfect". The way I see it, I respect others and my self way too much to not do my best at all times. I think life can be good if you work for it and appreciate what you have when you have it. By work I dont mean a 9-5, simply getting our family together for our hike is work, properly teaching is work, getting along with the rest of your family is work. Its hard! But its worth every moment of it.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and photos. It's nice to take the time to notice the magic in the every day sometimes. Sometimes when life gets a little hectic, we can forget to slow down and see how much of it surrounds us every day. I try to remind myself to be more mindful of it and for the most part it's working...but I still have my moments!
ReplyDeleteYour telling me, my husband is a lot better at living in the moment then I am. I tend to worry to much and dream that much more. Every now and then I have an ajaaaaaa....moment. Tell me what are you doing to stay mindful? any hints or tips?
