A Flowing Stream

The quote under my profile is from the movie "The Bucket List".  My life is a stream that sometimes flows quickly, the waters swirling so rapidly that I feel I am drowning.  Other times my life feels almost like stagnant waters, slow flowing and thick with scum.  I am searching for ways to keep my life flowing free, fresh and clear. 

The past year I've taken up yoga, quilting and pottery.  Each of these activities have brought me considerable joy and peace.  But as 2010 comes to a close and I turn 51, I realize that my waters are pretty murky and I haven't been able to hold onto those comforting feelings.

So, I've decided to use a blog to help me reflect on my journey.  Maybe by posting some of my thoughts, projects and activities, I can help still the waters as I flow towards that mist beyond the falls.  Or, depending on where I am, get the waters moving again. 

I leave with two questions....Have you found joy in your life?  Has your life brought joy to others?

Wishing all joy and peace,
Kelly
