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.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
