I put the picture above as my WhatsApp status today. So those lovely people in the office know that I am not available. And… Despite the clear message of that pic, some still send messages, email, phone calls … 🙄… And me? I still answer them all.. I betrayed myself, although not much.

I am going slow this month, no haste in deciding what I am going to do this year. I’ll think about it deeply, I will rest and rest and do  lots of rest because I have fought hard last year, too hard, and honestly… Not a thing going to the expected directions.

I used to be in a rush… I normalize fast pace as the best way. Lengthy thoughtful decisions are something I rarely do. Faster is better, that’s how I usually operate. I have minimum patience toward long queues, street jam, or waiting in general. And guess what? For almost a decade now,  Life throws me the lessons I need the most, to be patient, and I failed consistently.

But I’m ready to slow down… I want to slow down. I am too old to chase anything now and I want to keep my energy strictly for the things and people I love. This is the moment… I respect the waiting, I honored the pause. Life has no time table… No one can put schedule on his/ her life. My mother used to say when you haven’t succeeded in your forties then you’ll never succeed; ladies and gentlemen, that is the biggest bullshit ever made by a loving parent.

Take a rest my dear, plenty of it… This is not the time to run here and there chasing everything…
