What did it for me was sailing--spending hours doing nothing but talking to my loved ones and paying attention to the world around us (because our lives actually depended on our attention to the world!). It really helped us all to reach a new level of calm.Bethany@OurSoCalledLifehttp://oursocalledlife.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-23144672451480786222012-11-27T16:54:58.807+00:002012-11-27T16:54:58.807+00:00Hmmm - I've had one of those drifty days too. ...Hmmm - I've had one of those drifty days too.

Now I'm asking myself why that is. I feel I have to have something to show, to prove I haven't been sat around all day looking at blogs!! I often get the feeling that everything is catching up with me and one day will run me down flat. I have a lot of thinking to do....must get the tea done, dust around and vacuum the floors first though!

I hate it! I always seem to have a day in the future that I think I can do nothing on, but that day never comes! Must make time! Xx reading blogs is my tiny snatch of freedom!!

I know the warning signs... my brain starts to whirl, lots of fast thoughts and then I start developing little anxious habits like getting in the car and then going back indoors to check the grill is off, wood burner door is shut, dog's got water etc... then I KNOW it's time to slow right down. It's good to know when being busy is becoming less exciting and fun and more stressy and messy!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706705991752123362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-12715934621327232442012-11-27T08:37:25.937+00:002012-11-27T08:37:25.937+00:00exchange the word laziness for beingness which is ...exchange the word laziness for beingness which is our true heritage on this earth.

I think partly that is because I am at home full time so I never want anyone to think i have it easy, so I throw myself into making, volunteering, cooking, all sorts. I do like to feel that I am being productive. I love to tick tasks off a list. I don't like the word lazy, but if being lazy means watching tv with a cup of tea in the evening then yes I am. But I wouldn't call that lazy, I would call that a well earned rest. I think I have to earn my right to be lazy!<br /><br />I love that print, very nice!Gillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.com
