DON’T MISS YOUR OWN PARTY

PAINTING OF WOMAN DANCING

You know that feeling, when you have daily cleaned, cooked and prepared for a big family get-together or party?
You bustle around doing everything and making sure everyone has a wonderful time and when you finally do get the chance to sit down and relax with your guests, it’s home time…

Don’t let that be the metaphor for your life.

Don’t let the moment you finally relax be a moment too far…

I guess what I am trying to say my friend is, don’t miss your own party because you wanted everyone to else to have the best time.

Now is the time to sit down, take a beat and chat with a friend or loved one.
Now is the time to eat, break bread and be merry.
Now is the time to be fully here.
Fully present.
Enjoying.
Experiencing.
Living.

Not after, not when ‘everything is perfect’.

The dishes can wait, this is your party, your life.

You’re invited too.
