Deep thoughts
You can open yourself to the possibility of nourishing your soul, and you can make it a priority. Take careful stock of the way you spend your life energies doing things that are not so nourishing. Often, in the middle adult years especially, people find that they have been busy being productive in some task-oriented way, some way in which their souls were excluded. The responsibilities of everyday life--taking the kids to school, paying the bills, doing the grocery shopping, all the stuff that life requires of mature adults--expand to fill the entire life.

This quote kind of sums up what has been banging around in my mind for quite a while. I feel like all I am doing is day to day chores with little or no time to relax. I do not mean veg in front of the computer when I say relax because I do plenty of that. What I mean is feeling alert enough to go for a walk or to garden and having the free time to do it. Often I have the time but not the energy or vice versa. I know I need to do things to nourish my soul but I seem to have lost the ability to get it done. Not sure how to find my way back.
