I looked at the sky this evening and said "PLEASE stop snowing now". However, Spring officially starts March 20th...so the snow has a few more days to lie around and then March 21st I'll wake up and it will all be gone!

Maybe its the need for change right now (a seasonal change...Spring, please!) or just a settled desire that had seemingly disappeared, or maybe its just my age...but I want to travel again. We recently got a coffee-table book - the Earth from Above(yeah...one of those awesome huge photo books!) by a photographer named Yann Arthus-Bertrand (simply one of the best photographers in the world). The photos are of landscapes and peoples and animals and colonizations and destruction and beauty and nature and architecture. 

So every now and then I look through this book...and I cannot describe the emotional sentiment it brings up every time. And I keep saying to myself the simple words "Be at peace...its all good right now". And whats more I can clearly hear God's word resounding silently within me and it's saying "Be at Peace" and "Wait". 

I am trying hard to put these words into action because if I do there will be a pleasant degree of in-action in my life. By which I mean I am currently unable to rest, I find it hard to rest my mind if I am not physically doing something and I find it hard to rest my body if I am not thinking through the week ahead and all the things I have to do. I wonder if there is a 'perfect' balance within this, I know there is at least 'a' balance.

Talking with a good friend here and with my husband I have taken to heart the fact that life is sometimes to be lived current. While it is good to be always striving forward and be constructive with our time and be purposeful in life, sometimes this can mean being purposeful about enjoying life and living every day with fervour. Haha...I find that so hard to imagine right now or to even think how I could put that into action. The routine of get up-drive to work-come home-make dinner- prepare lunches-do chores-go to bed is wearing and I am tired! Plus I am really wanting to explore this world again. But if life can be wrapped up in moments and days it is wise to live them enthusiastically and at the same time with a more laid back pace. 

I so often come to points like these where my spirit becomes restless and ansty, where I am ready for the next thing, the next place, the next job, the next change. This time the change is to wait...probably a few years. But the beauty of this life is it can all change in ways we can't even imagine and we roll with it.

I'm coming round to it. I'll just not look at Earth from Above for a few more days.
