I love hearing their wisdom. And your Sydney is among the best.<br /><br />Here is a good thing to know from my perspective: I believe it is possible to regain part of that honest, open point of view. In the last few years, when I decided to quit pushing against the busyness of life, I've come back to a better frame of mind and I'm finding it easier to be me. In past decades we have revved up our lives, complicated our daily schedules to the point of taking away life's simplest joys. Many of us seem to feel that "down time," or "free time" is a bad thing. <br /><br />Kids have schedules of activities that keep the whole family moving .... no, running .... from sun up to sunset. Mom & Dad get the kids off to school, rush off to work, hurry home to taxi kids to activities. Dinner is often eaten on the run and not together. Home after activities, bath time and off to bed. I'm not saying kids shouldn't be involved in activities, only pointing out how tightly packed our schedules have become. And how narrowing it can be.<br /><br />Even without kids at home, I lived that kind of schedule until my husband died. My world changed with his death. (Isn't it sad that it took a death to make me be quiet and think?) I decided to slow down and take time to live. It has been a difficult transition for me. I still often feel guilty about sitting and doing nothing. I feel the push to always be active, busy, productive. But the times when I talk myself out of "doing," I feel much like Sydney expressed. It really is pretty easy being me when I let myself *just be*. <br /><br />Hmmm. Children and old people. Perhaps I'm enjoying my second childhood by tuning into who I am. I like it, whatever it is!<br /><br />I love Sydney's wisdom as you frequently share here. She will probably begin to lose some of that in the coming years, but I hope you can encourage her to have enough quiet time to retain the essence of herself.Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-73809431672679975592009-05-06T07:18:00.000-05:002009-05-06T07:18:00.000-05:00Such wisdom in what Sydney had to say.
