“Take as a gift whatever the day brings forth...”
~ Horace (65-8); Roman lyric poet ~
As I stood by the window at the hospital, I found myself thinking about how busy I've been lately.
It's more than just school (which, quite frankly, is sometimes enough in and of itself) - it's commitments like Ministry of Care, before-care and aftercare duties, ACE Advocates meetings and conferences...
And then I stopped. And I thought how fulfilled I feel by participating in and volunteering for all of these activities. They do take up time, but my life would be empty without them. Yes, I'd have more time for myself, but if I have enough now, why do I need more?
I believe in a life well-lived...and I am going to do my best to make sure my life is well-lived for others.
Just one closing thought - came across it the other day:"Paradise is not made for slackers. Let's get to work!" (St Ignatius of Santhia)
