Anyone with children knows how life can be a juggling act. One becomes extremely adept at time management and becomes picky and choosy as to how to spend those glorious moments called 'spare time'. For me, living a life where time is precious has been a blessing because it makes me highly aware as to how I want to spend my time, and with whom. I would rather choose to crush a workout at the gym than go clubbing, and as cruel as it may sound, I have let go of some 'friends' who aren't healthy for me. I don't have much time for bitching and moaning. Sorry if that sounds harsh but since time is of the essence, that is the most succinct way I can put it. ;) Time-wise, the two things that are non-negotiable in my life is my work, and my children of course..... My job and my babies are like the air I breathe and bring me great joy, passion, and gratitude. I am lucky in the fact that I can swing shifts when need be and I make sure I have days that I dedicate to just me because I firmly believe that if I don't nurture myself, everyone around me will suffer.
Lately, all I can think about during my spare time is climbing the wall.... literally. I have this addiction called rock climbing and it's an addiction in the sweetest of ways. Everything disappears.... time, space, worries when I'm sending a route or a bouldering problem. I love how climbing takes over and commands my body. My brain shuts down and I just get into this rhythm of movement, balance, power, and precision. Perhaps I love it so because climbing is quiet........ and although powerful, it is also something that is quite still....... and this stillness, even though dangling in space, is what keeps me grounded.
I haven't had much time to go climbing outdoors but when I do, it is pure bliss. Nature has such a way of calming the mind. But outside or inside, I will take climbing whenever I can. I leave you with pictures of my kids (the first pics I've posted of them in ages). Seems they have caught the bug too.... xo
