let the wave take you

Mondays are so much better when you decide at 11pm the night before that you are going to take you bodyboard, surfboard and wetsuit and out for the day. I spent the day in the water with a best friend catching the waves. It was amazing in there, perfect temperature (with the wetsuit on) and even though the waves were a bit flat for bursts of time, it was nice just floating. Then when we wanted to move on a bit further down shore, we would check our reference point on land. We would get worn out walking and jumping the waves, and then check our reference point and realize we hadn't moved at all. 

Sometimes life can feel a bit like that, you try and move on and you get worn out and exhausted before you feel like you've made any progress at all. Recently I've been getting pretty stressed out with things at work, and have been dying to do my own thing, to make art and start my own business. I put in loads of effort and get no where it feels. But really my reference point is so big and so far away that is feels impossible to reach, but baby are taking me there! Yes it can be tiring, but you have to take it bit by bit and eventually you will get there, you just have to slow down and focus on this season of life before you can conquer it all in one go.
