Well, it was beautiful today, after work, I looked at my garden, which needs to be put to bed for the winter, and my long grass, and said to myself, "It can wait!" I was just too tired to go out there today! Work was good, and things went well at home, but I just felt tired today. The weather calls for clear for the next several days, so I have time to go out.
Sometimes, we just have to stop and rest, "smell the roses", read, paint (that comes after the blog), catch up with friends, write letters, in other words, live our life. I have learned through the years to listen to my body, and obey it's promptings. I find if I push myself when it's not necessary, (I will push myself to go to work, take care of my children, or honour promises), I will either burn out, get sick, or make mistakes.
Now that I think of it, maybe it was the Christmas music! One of the people I saw today will play Christmas music all year long! She just loves to hear it, and today was no exception, she just had it going like it was the week before Christmas! She says Christmas music makes her happy, and is soothing to her soul. When I hear this music, I think of holidays past, my childhood, when my children were young, usually happy, magical times. Maybe that's why I didn't feel like doing the yard work today!
So, it's a short blog today, I will spend some time with my painting.
Have a great day, and see you tomorrow.
Phoebe

Sometimes we just have to walk through the forest and take in the sights and sounds to realize, we are not alone!
