Another park adventure with the dogs! And a quick swing to make me feel young again.

Today I had all planned out the night before. I even wrote out a 'tentative schedule'...haven't done that since being in school. But lately I've been feeling a serious lack of busy-ness, or haven't even felt driven to wanting to be busy. For me this is weird because I have spent almost every waking moment of my 23 years leading a quick-paced and very full life. NOT that my life is not full right now! It's full of family and work and love and happiness! It's just slower-paced and mellow at the moment. So slow-paced that I slept an hour past when my schedule dictated me to wake up and then only accomplished maybe 3 and a half out of the 6 things I wanted to do today (one shown in above photo -- taking dogs for walk). The old me would have been ticked.

But you know what the latest me realized?! That is OKAY. Just because I'm not busy for the first time in my life doesn't mean I need to feel guilty about it or even feel like I need to be doing one hundred things each day. The truth of the matter is this: I don't have a heck of a lot to do. And I should rejoice in this fact, because I don't know if this total lack-of-things-to-do-state that I'm in will ever surface again...well maybe when I'm retired. ;)
