Once again your writing is on point. I have been in exactly that place since I returned from my amazing New Year’s trip which moved me both emotionally and physically. For some reason I have not wanted or needed the television, much conversation, nor the telephone… I’ve been in need of stillness, physically. I decided to comply with what my body was asking for and rested every chance I got. Finally today, almost two weeks later, I’m ready to face the world as we know it, and even so I am taking it slowly. It feels wonderful to not be pressed to do things just to keep up this arbitrary pace we feel compelled to live by. I’m realizing more and more that what’s important is that I am at peace and I am healthy… so whatever leads to those two, is what I do.

Thanks again for your reminders that encourage us to follow our joy… I do exactly that!
