I have been given a huge trial.
I am extremely busy.
I am working nearly three jobs a day some times.
I teach art during the day.
I work at a flower shop in the evenings,
and at night and on weekends I work on my shops.
That's 3 jobs.
On top of that, I'm still in the process of moving.
I are hoping to be in our new house in 2 weeks at the most.
Then there is the dentist appointment which may lead to surgery..
The chalk art festival this Friday
parent teacher conference also this Friday
taking photos for my blog and outfit posts,
spending time with my pal Wicket... (Who is always my first priority!)
So, I've got this huge trial of being busier than all reason...
And some say, why don't you quit one job?
I just can't! I love working with flowers,
and it's really good to unwind after school with the flowers.
It just doesn't feel right to quit, at least not right now.
I am alright with working this much for now..
It's a huge trial, but trials also bring such huge gifts.
Other than the money I'm making, I am receiving a huge gift.
Finding peace amongst chaos.
This really isn't even me looking for silver lining.
I'm not stretching and searching for good things here.
I really am thankful for this.
I have less free time, but the free time I do have is spent very wisely.
In meditation, in thought, walking barefoot, reading books, reflecting.
And the free time I DON'T have.. like during my classes, or while grading papers,
I get to practice grounding myself. Being at peace in my heart while the world is chaotic around me.
Which of course helps calm the world around me too.
Because a peaceful heart creates a peaceful atmosphere.
And a chaotic heart creates a chaotic atmosphere.
Being at peace, brings us more peace.
