Finding time to breathe

The house is silent. It’s just Sadie and me. It’s been a week since it’s been this quiet, A lot has happened the past few days between my sister-in-law’s passing and funeral, plus company staying with us ahead of an upcoming TR event.

Company left this morning. Sadie & I did our weekly READ at Park Street School. Had a great time, but I opted to head home afterwards rather than go out to lunch. Honestly, I’m peopled out at the moment.

We’re expecting rain, so it’s the perfect opportunity to take an afternoon nap, followed by some sewing time in my studio. Hubby needs a new pillowcase before he leaves on his next outing with TR. Purposeful sewing helps me calm and refocus.

The older I get, the more essential it is to structure “time to breathe” in my schedule.
