I've been in an interesting season of life...
One which has lasted nearly a year.
A step back from my care giving business,
a time to work on self.
Only now I'm restless for something new and more
(well aware I may soon look back on this and say,
"oh for the slow & quiet days")!
How well I've known the race of the world.
There must be a happy medium?
So today I will try to embrace this slow life,
I will sip a cup of herbal tea more appreciatively
from the beautiful cup and saucer my sister brought me from
Beatrix Potter's home.
I will read other's blogs and savour the unique tidings and creative energies
they share
from their corners of the world.
Around the house
I will pause in front of past pieces I penned and painted in more prolific days.
Embracing the way things are now,
I will reassure myself that some of you are in a similar place,
some of you are in quite opposite places,
but nothing stays the same for long.
Embracing now...

Love your pretty Beatrice Potter tea cup !!! You fractur is beautiful !!!! I like this time of year because I can play & create things for myself and friends & family .
I love your fraktur. I wish I could paint...sigh. I've taken a couple classes but had terrible teachers and sadly did not learn a thing.
This season of my life I call retirement...I could not be happier. There are just not enough hours in the day to do all I'd like to do. I pray I will enjoy it for a long time.
Stay warm! This weather is not to my liking.
Very true to enjoy the season of now. I know I am always looking for the next thing or complaining of not having time.you are so right to embrace what you have now because in a blink it could all change.
