FOCUS
Focus. Need to find some, along with some perspective.
Time. Need to adjust my concept of time and it's use.
Finish. Need to wrap up a load of things and cross them off my list.
Begin. Need to put the finishing touches to a new beginning, to be unveiled soon.
Now. It all needs to happen now. So for the next little while, I will be much quieter while I reorganise my life and take a few deep breathes and release some pressure.
...and you will be missed! a. lot.
though i will say that it's nice to hear you describing some of my very own feelings. sometimes i read along with you and others and wonder "how do they do it??"
deep breath. deeeeep breath. that's my mantra.

certainly missed. you are inspiring. i too declare "simple life movements" at our house but have yet to be able to stick to it. if i'm not creating something i just don't feel like i'm living but wow it's hard to prioritize and reward myself. if you find the balance, let me know!
take care.

Take your time, enjoy the path, breath deeply and don't feel guilty. We will be waiting patiently for you to come back afresh.
Though I can't help being curious about the red object on the photo!

Sometimes, my daughter talks so much and so quickly and so excitedly that I have her stop and do a few deep yoga breaths and she says, "You know, I feel much better now."
Deep breaths. Enjoy yourself.
