The In-Between Time

It’s the last week of the year. It’s the time when we can look back at the year and where we’ve been and then look forward to the new year and where we want to go.

Of course, we are all in motion, all the time. It seems we are always looking forward to certain events, or certain accomplishments. Once those have passed, we’re looking forward to the next ones. Sometimes we’re looking forward to a new thing even before we got the last thing… We are always in an “in-between” time when we’re not fully where we want to be.

But that’s the nature of life. We are always “in between”.

We live in the “in-between”, and we need to accept it and be present in it. If we look forward too much, we lose what’s right in front of us.

I used to spend my weekdays at work rushing towards the weekend, which is where I thought I really wanted to be. As a result, the weeks seemed to fly by and time went too fast. I remember making the conscious decision to pay attention to each day as it came, no matter if it was a workday or a weekend day. For me, it took a lot of stress off me. I had to relax into the ‘in-between” so that time flowed again, and I did not just make hops in time in between weekends.

What do you think of this? Are you missing the present by rushing into the future too much? Have you decided to relax into the “in-between”? Leave a comment!

Until next time, remember… We are all magnificent.
