the unsilliness of my busyness.
i never thought i would laugh at how busy i am.  i was serious about my ability to be a superwoman.  i was labelled as such by well-meaning and ill-meaning persons.  not that i care what they label me with, but yes, i have the ability of a superwoman.  bwahahaha!  i could work and play and have fun all at the same time.  bwahahaha!

'forests' by bidibidi

i love doing it all.  this is my goal!  i want to be consumed.  and i do not, at all, feel exhausted!  and it does not cost me friendships, in fact, i meet a lot of new and wonderful friends and somehow maintain and keep good old ones, too.  my busyness is not even a little bit silly.

becoming busy was not an accident.  but a decision i made on purpose.  i made a decision that an unbusy life was not a life for me. this busy life, is the life i wanted.  i am conscious of what i have, these gifts, and i could not waste a minute, naaah aaah!  these gifts are meant to be enjoyed, and how i am enjoying them!  everyday!  every minute!
in my busyness, i find freedom to do the things that make my heart sing, instead of things that weigh me down.

i do not want to be unbusy.  my busyness is grace for me, from the force.  i could not imagine being unbusy.  oh, my.  oh, no.  bwahahaha!  and do not get me wrong, i love everything i do, and i only do what i love doing.  i do not conform nor do i compromise.  i believe in my value system and that which guides my thoughts and deeds.
so today, i take my lazyboy to the city and there, that place is what i call busy.
bwahahaha!  not me. 

thank you!  ilysm!  ♥ ♥ ♥
