to sit a spell

We’re still here, I’m still around.  And here I am to sit a spell….whew.  To inhale & exhale deeply for a few minutes.

The past two weeks have been—wait—the past two months have been very full!  September and October are typically the busiest months of the year for our family and after a relaxing August, the pace of our life did indeed pick up a little speed, right into the start of November. 

I love this quote from John Wesley :: “Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.  For I never take on more work than I can do with calmness of spirit.”

So, yes it’s been haste around here!  Place to go, people to see, things to plan, homeschooling, housework, church responsibilities and the list goes on…but I have not felt overly hurried.  Or rushed.  Without time to pause (though the ‘pausing’ was often shorter than I would have liked).  This season is over though and I am glad :: we anticipate the holidays, which for us is the most relaxing time of year. 

All that to say—I’m still here and hope to be posting more often!
