I have learned something from making bread....it takes time. You can't "hurry up" and make bread. Bread will be ready in its own time.
My photo featured today was of Tara kneading out the dough to make homemade bread this past weekend. Her meticulous process of kneading and preparing the bread made me think about how much of my life I've "hurried" away and not taken the time to just be. That's something I'm working on in my own life and I want you to think about it too.
I know we all have busy lives. If you're like me, you do one task while thinking about the next task to be done. This is so detrimental to you life. You're forsaking the now to worry about the future. I know some people meditate, some people pray, some do both. Try this for 2012...stop at least for a moment each day. Be still. Be quiet. Clear your mind. Let your body and your mind catch up with each other. I guarantee you that you will come out of it refreshed and ready to continue your day. Don't deny yourself, if you just "knead" some time.
