Must slow down!

Enjoy the little things

I am catching up today on my photo books and blog books from 2013 going forward.  I got to this post from July 2014 about all the classes and the whirlwind that was going on at the time.  In the comments there and the next one, many of you wrote something along the lines of “I don’t know how on earth you do all that!

I know I have some sort of OCD-type anxiety issue.  With the house redecorating I’m doing, I know that there is no rush.  I know that the goal is to make our surroundings be more of a peaceful reflection of who we are, which is something I can only get in touch with if I slow down and relax.  Yet I still have this part of me that wants to get this project crossed off the list so I can get pack to painting.

So I’m thinking of ways to pause and look around while in the midst of busy-ness.  It’s not that fun doing things the way I’ve been doing things.  My mind has been racing and the lists are getting too long! I need to have some down time in between activities too. I just get so excited! But I must remember… too much excitement leads to stress.  🙂

  1. Oh, please tell me more about your blog books. I’ve always wanted to do this. What service do you use? Would love as many details as you can slow down to give me : )

  2. I don’t know, girlfriend. I’ve slowed down, and I don’t think I like it. I THINK I am much happier when I am wall to wall crazy busy. Being a bum comes with its own type of stress, and once I hit that slow down button, it’s hard to get revved back up again. Of course, I have that whole mortality thing goin’ on, which at your tender young age, you haven’t had to confront just yet, so that may color my view. Ever minute spent being a bum, is a minute I could have gotten something DONE. Sick, huh?
