Food For Thought

""It's like washing the dishes. If you focus on getting the dishes done so that your kitchen will be clean, you miss everything that happens between dirty and clean. The warmth of the water, the pop of the bubbles, the movements of your hand. You miss the life that happens in the middle zone - between now and what you think your life should be like. And when you miss those moments because you'd rather be doing something else, you are missing your own life. Those moments are gone. You will never get them back." - Geneen Roth, Women Food and God.

Don't forget about the middle zone. Don't miss your own life.

Wishing you all whole and present moments this weekend.

In warm water and bubbles Gratitude,

Trish

Hey thanks for the reminder! I'm over in London working a stressful job not enjoying it. I keep saying just a few more months and then I'll do something I love and start living... we'll see!
