Thoughts to Ponder

My sister shared a great article today on Facebook. The title is:

So you're not up at 5am to work? What's wrong with you? Nothing. By Libby Fordham

As I slowly get ready for re-entry into another school year, I thought this article had some wonderful points to remember. I constantly worry that I'm not doing enough, or should work day and night. The author addresses people like me -

"Design a life that suits what you need. Don't be guilted into doing what the media or the internet tells you is the 'right thing'. Run your own race. Do the things you love, with the people you want to spend time with. Take a moment to reflect, to pause and to smell the roses. You're not lazy like the articles say. You're just taking it at a different speed.

Somewhere in your day set aside time to fulfil something that nourishes your working life. It can either be directly related to your work or something entirely different which captures your imagination and makes you feel, simply, 'good'."

How often do we take the time to remember why we chose the profession that we're in? Too often we get caught up in what is wrong with the profession.....something to think about. Thanks for sharing Lori!
