Sunday Musings of the Spirit: Take a Deep Breath

Lately, I feel like I'm being pulled in several different directions.  Everywhere I turn, I see something or someone that needs my attention.  


While I am attending to one thing, chaos breaks out with everything else.  The little things--dishes that are dirtied at a faster rate than they are cleaned, craft supplies that multiply and take over a clean table--push me over the edge and become overwhelming problems.  John sweetly volunteered to make dinner last night.  

 Today's post is for me.  


Breathe, Kristi, breathe.  Life is good.

Thanks for perspective.

    Yes Kristi breathe. Stop, stand still, catch your breath and all will be good. I find that when I feel like I am being pulled in all directions, if I just stop for a moment and become aware of the here and now it helps.

    Have a Blessed Sunday!

    I have to talk myself down all the time. Breathing is very important to that process.
    John is a blessing, for sure.

    Sometimes you just have to stand still and catch your breath. Do what's important and let all the other stuff just be there.
    Take your own advise and be still, every day, just for a few minutes. I find this a very good way to regain my focus.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
