slimming down

it's day seven of the media fast. standing in my kitchen today i realized that the benefits of my recent diet have been innumerable, but it all boils down to one simple thing; slowing down. removing one small aspect of my daily life left me with more time, making it easier to accept traffic, cleaning, the unpleasant mommy moments & the simple facts of my life right now. it also made me more available to the people i love, enhanced my focus, and gave me a moment or two each day to just enjoy living. and the icing on the cake, i realized that i went an entire day without wishing my house, finances, body, and professional life were any different than they actually are.

wondering if i am beginning to sound like the girl who just lost seven pounds and whom you sort of want to push over....
