Learning to Pause --- Day 58

Day 58

As we move about our day after Big Z rejoined me this morning, we're both "shifting the energy!" Big Z saw what I had done and wanted to do the same in his room. And, so we are in the midst of it ;-). Whew. This is good work.

While I was moving dust bunnies out of a corner of our kitchen counter, out jumped this phrase, "Learning to Pause," and it reminded me of the "pause" we were faced with in December, the day we drove south to California, only later to learn, 2 hours into our trip, that all of Boot Camp was paused as well.

This message was cut off a box of Celestial Seasonings Tea, likely from "Tension Tamer Tea."


"Harmony is the inner cadence of contentment we feel when the melody of life is in tune. When somehow we're able to strike the right chord --- to balance the expectations of our families and our responsibilities in the world on the one hand with our inner needs for spiritual growth and personal expression on the other . . . Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time. Time to dream, time to think, time to contemplate what's working and what's not, so that we can make changes for the better . . . . Learn how to pause."

----Sarah Ban Breathnach, from Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy.

We may add to this post later, but for now . . . though we're busy, we are making room to allow time for "pausing" in our home . . . more comfortable time. Now, for lunch, then later, piano, a great walk in the outdoors, and then . . .

Monday Night Family Chat @ 6PM PST. YEAH!

Will be looking forward to the call considering our Boot Camp is over, AND, our calls are on "pause" for 2 weeks. Join us tonight.
