I have been missing my blog lately. Between my fabric flower class and a trip to Quilt Market last week, things have been really hectic.
Behind the scenes, I have been working on some new content and fresh ideas for this space — and it was good to give things a little extra time to gel. I’ll be rolling out some new columns and branching out a bit more. The weather is summery here today, and it feels good to get moving again!
{Introducing a new weekly column, Medicine for Mondays: If only we could bottle beauty into an elixir and drink our fill each week. This is my weekly reminder to try to see the world with fresh eyes. A photograph I’ve taken of a beautiful spot. Five things I’m thankful for right this very minute. And 1 question to help jump start my Monday.}
1) Pockets of sunshine this weekend
2) Being home and waking up in my own bed after a trip to Portland
3) My husband hearing the scratching noises in the office and agreeing that a squirrel is living in the wall*
4) Naps
5) Really good, chunky erasers
*Some days I am just really thankful to learn that I am not crazy.
I’ve had several reminders lately that there is more to me than just work. And yet, too often, I measure my week only by my list of accomplished tasks.
I am really trying to focus on being more well-rounded (thinking about my physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being). Self-care is a choice that I have to make about how I spend my time. (Anyone else struggle with that?)
This week, I’m making an effort to try a new form of exercise — yoga. And yes, it made me smile.
What about you?
