You know how quickly time flies?
Hi, I'd like to start this post off by saying that I'm sorry I haven't updated in a really long time. Anyway, time really does fly...it's only sort of a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. It feels like I went only a month without updating this blog, but, in fact, it's actually been two months and twenty days. Whoops. Life gets super busy, so that makes it difficult to slow down and actually appreciate the things in life that God has given us to enjoy. There's always another thing to do, another person to pick up, another project to get done, another chore to do, another blog post to write, or even another episode of that show you really love (Doctor Who or Once Upon a Time, in my case) that you have to watch. Right now, I'm stressing because I didn't get to watch part two of this really great episode of Doctor Who, but I also really have to write this post.
Do you see what I mean? The stress of life can sometimes weigh us down, it makes life feel like you're constantly doing something but not actually getting anything done. I strongly disagree with that. Some of you may be thinking, "But, Pepper, no matter how many things I get done, there's always just another thing to do?" Let me take the liberty to tell you, life is not just a giant obligation. You can actually take a deep breath and relax a little before continuing on the many things you have to do. Also, are all of those things really that important? Is cleaning the sink for the third time this week really that important? Either you did something really gross to your sink and you are thinking about cleaning it right now, or you just realized that cleaning the sink isn't actually the most important thing in life at the moment*.
God gave us this life to enjoy it. We don't have to always worry about doing things, because in the process of doing all of our responsibilities, we completely miss the wonderful world and the wonderful people God surrounds us with. Anyway, I think I'm going to go play some Mario Kart with my brother.
-Pepper, signing off!
*Please don't take this as me saying you shouldn't ever clean your house. Having a clean house is important...just try not to be over obsessive about it, and you might be happier. Have a wonderful evening!
