1. thanks to Helen for inspiring me with her list of “Pushing Through and Pressing On”
2. sometimes when I get to feeling bogged down, I feel like everyone else out there is moving along merrily!
3. it’s good to remember that we all need to inspire ourselves in various ways!
4. when I get overwhelmed, I don’t perform very well, but when I keep on moving forward, I do much better!
5. I like the idea of spiral out (which came from a Zentangle challenge) because it is rare that we move swiftly from one point to another
6. I was just getting to the point where I have so many things to do that my “to do” lists are getting lost!
7. I know I am blessed to have such an active life, but sometimes I want to sleep in, read a bit, take a walk, and chill out!
8. Yesterday I started fixing up the balcony at my office — black-eyed Susan vines, hot pink geraniums, begonias, and in process — a delightful fairy garden! Hooray!
9. Taking time out renews my energy.
10. Tomorrow is a huge luau party at my son and daughter-in-law’s, so that will be festive, fun, and silliness!
Wonderful list, Carol, I like the spiral out image too, beautiful. Chilling out is fine too. And what great flowers you have on your balcony, what cheer and images of summer,I am partial to begonias. Lists are a tricky thing aren’t they? In one of the Frog and Toad books, Toad is all set to carry out his list but then it is carried off by the wind and he cannot chase after it because such activity is not on his list. I am likewise literal minded, often. And I agree, Helen’s latest list is powerful and moving. Thank you so much for posting, much to think about and do and appreciate.
