I learned the hard way too, but I've been learning to pace my days and my activites. Although there are always days that are busy, it's not a whole lifestyle of it. There are ebbs and flows of both -- work/rest, fast/slow, easy/hard, fun/chore.... <BR/><BR/>Caryn, Flitting you say... I've likened myself to the bumblebee, humming here and there and everywhere....although he seems to get things done when he does that, me not always! (smile)<BR/><BR/>Ahhh...the joys of puttering...I think I'm getting that down to a fine art too.<BR/><BR/>You mention gift wrapping, I'm working on Christmas letter/cards still. It was my plan to get them out this week, so I'm on time that way, but methinks the post office will be delivering some a little late for the 25th, but I never mind getting greetings all through the season.Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-21296286466070764152008-12-19T16:07:00.000-07:002008-12-19T16:07:00.000-07:00To savour: to enjoy and appreciate slowly. hmmmm....To savour: to enjoy and appreciate slowly. <BR/><BR/>hmmmm... I've spent most of my life like a Hummingbird, flitting from one place to the next rarely taking a moment to light anywhere long enough to relish what delight is before me.<BR/><BR/>Then I got older, and a little wiser perhaps. But I slowed down.<BR/>I learned to appreciate the joys of puttering.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly enough, however, I have been sort of bustling through these past few days. Reading your charming post is a timely reminder to BREATHE... let my senses and my soul drink in the lovliness of the snow settled on the branches outside my office window, and the lusty aroma of the wassail I have brewing the the kitchen. I know I will now take the time to choose a package topper with care, and enjoy every loop that I place in a ribbon. I will imagine the faces of my kith and kin when they receive their beautifully wrapped gifts and I will relish the art of giving to the fullest. <BR/><BR/>You are such a delight, Brenda. I look forward to getting to know you better in the upcoming year!!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the welcome home.wispy willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194020052008879681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-19527386246337188502008-12-18T14:46:00.000-07:002008-12-18T14:46:00.000-07:00good reminder, my bad back has slowed me down cons...good reminder, my bad back has slowed me down considerably so I have more time and can't rush about as usual...found a good chiropractor in my new location so that will help. thanks for the timely advice during this busy time of year.Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.com
