Quiet moment









We struggle, we push, we strive, and pine. And then every once in a while we slip into the cool calm of an eddy and rest for a moment or two. These quiet moments are invaluable. It's been an intense few weeks and I feel like my reserves are about used up. But, today, well today is a special day and I'm able to rest for my moment or two.

I wish you a quiet moment, whether it's granted to you or you take it!

XOXO

I want to fall into those photos right now, especially the one with the cup of tea and the flower. Much more appealing than my stacks of work.

"We struggle, we push, we strive, and pine." - you just described my own recent weeks, Jules. Hehe. "Intense" is the word.
