Busy As A Bee(busy but not too busy to care)

[sigdrifa]

So I've been busy lately... The usual mostly. Working at the food pantry, hanging out with friends, making soap all that good stuff. It seems like the shape of my life is pretty consistent over all. There was a time when this would have bothered me a great deal. There was a time when I thought that being constantly in a state of flux was desirable,and necessary for growth. In fact I have found that when I give myself a sense of constancy I actually have a lot more room for growth because it is in the quiet times in between when growth often happens, in leaps and in bursts. I'm glad to be busy with home crafts, and with projects, that make me e concentrate on my relationship with the Gods because it is those very projects that give me a sense of how simple life may have been for our ancestors in times past, and even if it wasn't quite like how I imagine it, I am making a new way for myself one that is organic and true. To me this is what matters the most. I am a homemaker and I am on disability, yet I do not consider myself to be one of those people who simply let life happen to me, I would rather be always participating in the flow and contributing to my world in some way shape or form. To me this is what it means to always be busy as a bee. I hope that when people think of me they always think of me, as someone busy, but not too busy for them because this is how I like to remember my grandmother, and it is how my mom has been most of my life. So this is the model I try hard to live up to. Busy, but not too busy to care.
