And wonder-full!
We've had family staying with us and we've had four days of harvesting grapes.
How often do you use the word "full" instead of "busy"? Probably not very often. We so frequently hear about how everyone is so busy. Its a great excuse - "sorry, I've been busy", "I'm just so busy with..." etc. It comes over as complaining about our life, but most of the time, we have put those things in our lives that we complain about. They are in our control. Or maybe you are using busyness as a measure of self-worth? By using the word busy, it makes us seem like victims and that it is all out of our control..
Instead, we have filled our lives. Our lives are full. That sounds so rich and exciting, as opposed to saying our lives are busy.
By saying our life is "full" gives a sense of pride, rather than a regret or whining when we say we are busy. We can change things in our lives to make them quieter, we can say "no" and make adjustments, but often we want a full life.
So be proud of your full life. Don't whine, complain and make it sound like you regret it. Live your life to the full.
Try using the word "full" this week, instead of "busy" and see what a difference it makes.
