Thank you for the encouraging responses to my first foray. I see that I still have to get the hang of responding and staying in touch. It is a little bit of a guilty pleasure to sit here browsing through what everyone else is thinking and doing instead of 'being productive'. I am with Nataly on the extra 10min & $10. My daughter was sick yesterday and I had an extra day at home. It was an incrdeible relief to have a good reason to not be running myself ragged. I slept, fed her required medecines; we read, took a long bath together and filed our nails. I didn't even TRY to get too much done. It was amazing and I need to work more of those moments in beause I feel so refreshed today!! (even with the backlog facing me from yesterdays neglect...)
I feel the same. So sad that it has to be almost catastrophic before we allow ourselves to take the time we need....
