Leave Margins in Your Life...

Sometimes I hear a comment that is exactly what I need to hear..

I heard one today: Fit margins in your life...

In my mind I see a page of student handwriting, all crammed together...

I don't want to waste paper, the student tells me...

But I can't read it - it's too crowded, I tell the student.

Can the same be true of life? Can I be so busy that the purpose of all my activity is lost...?

What do I want to focus on at this stage of my life? I ask myself. Am I accomplishing any of my goals? How do I really want to be spending my time?

I need margins of time to pause and reflect, to keep me on course ... and help me enjoy the journey!

Thoughtful living: a delicate balance.
