Ever feel like it's all going so FAST around you.
Sometimes life can feel like those bomb scenes in Action movies.
You know the one where the children are in their classrooms & the bad guy detonated a bomb in the basement.
Once the time runs out, the bomb will go off and the column it's attached to will crumble which makes the school building collapse into it's own foundation. Leaving the children & police in the rubble!!!
My daily life feels like that sometimes :)
Like the bomb's clock is ticking down...
01:21....
00:95...
00:68....
00:10...
Ah!!!
& I am the Hero...
"Was it the Red wire I was supposed to cut?!?
Or the Blue?!?
In rookie police school, I memorized it...There was a riddle I created to remind myself...
WHAT WAS THE RIDDLE?!?"
Time is a funny thing, bc at times it feels like time will never end, other times...when lots going on, it feels like every second counts...like time is Running Out!
It's just the day to day crap.
No "bombs."
But, deadlines are involved.
Cramming everything I need to do in an 18 hour time frame.
When I work 10 hour days.
8 extra hours seems like enough time...
But I guess I must eat, travel, & pee a lot?!
"My Dad's eyes get Bluer when he is mad!
That's it!
Cut the Blue wire.
Hands shaking...plyers on the Blue wire.
Sh*t!!!
Maybe it's that my Dad's eyes get Red when he gets mad?!?
F*CK!!!"
Hmm...
Gym or go home to cook dinner?
Take-out or be healthy?
Physical activity or eat well?
Can't do both!
Bc there isn't Enough TIME!!!
Tick..tick...BOOM!
"It was the Blue wire.
My Dad's eyes are Blue.
Fact is, when he gets mad, they get Bluer!
Cutting the Blue."
I chose to make dinner.
No, gym.
But, now I made enough left overs to last a couple days!
"Hands shaking...plyers confidently cutting the Blue wire.
Timer SHUTS OFF."
The children will be safe!
A choice has been made!
Tomorrow is another day to save children in a schoolhouse!
& Go to the gym!!!
Today, make a choice. Shut the bomb count down Off. Allow yourself to put things off till tomorrow.
Most importantly be KIND to your Time.
Life is not a race on who could get the most done.
There is no burning building, no activities rate cards, people aren't judging you if you put off boot camp class to read your book bc R&R is much needed.
Listen to yourself.
Make a choice.
Follow through.
Tomorrow is another day to be spent on Your timer :)
