I've been slowly working on this 8x10 computer room to make room for my sewing things and with health issues it's been a bit of a chore. Reading how you spent your week delights me for I look forward to being finished in here and putzing and gauming and being so grateful. I am grateful, lol, but to have time to really look at things and a moment to drink in one's blessings with no other thoughts pulling at you...that's a little gift right there. I so enjoyed hearing about what you haven't been doing and the relaxed way you have spent your week. What a joy to finish a gift for someone! I look forward to doing that too.

I've since learned that sometimes taking a couple of days off just to putter around relaxed is enough to propel me to accomplish much more in the long run. <br /><br />Love the gift you made!

I know how hard it is to take a vacation when you own your own business then add on you work from home. Maybe you can't take three weeks at a time, try three or four weeks planned over the year. Sometimes being a human being and not a human doing opens up your creativity. I am learning this in my 70s. Quiet your mind so that you can hear the voice of God.Trina O'Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328632919019462605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-11261424683565721092019-06-22T22:44:09.551+10:002019-06-22T22:44:09.551+10:00Oh Jenny - what a beautiful reminder.

My new PC was hacked so blogging has not been possible with using an iPad and I have been wondering how those who run a business cope with the pressure of having to keep their blogs up to date.

When I go on a trip I feel all my energy is depleted by trying to squeeze in all that I can. I come home and can't even put things away for days. I think you should consider taking more "time off" whenever your body tells you to slow down. Remember that God has given our bodies symptoms for us to listen to. An itch can mean we've been bitten by a bug or brushed against a weed and need we need to tend to it or it can mean we're allergic to something and should avoid it. Pain means we've been hurt and need to tend to it whether at home for small matters or get to the hospital for more serious pain. Fever usually means we have an infection or our body is trying to fight off something like the flu. Of course the list goes on but I believe God wants us to listen to what our bodies are telling us. It may not be crystal clear but the more we experience these things the better we get at listening to our body so please listen to your body and take a break. Loved all the pictures and oh my, all the Cockatoos-how wonderful. So much prettier and happier being free and wild than caged up.

I HAVE to make drastic cutbacks in my spending habits to save for my college-bound son. I have plenty of supplies for the various hobbies I pursue, so I really need to focus on what I have and use it before I get the next ‘must have’ item to hit the stores. Thank you, too, for prompting that reality that focusing on God the beginning and the end of the day will provide a better outlook and ability to focus myself on the things I’ve already been blessed with.

Proverbs 10:22. I'm so happy for you now that you have your home. It is good that it has changed your perspective. God is good. I enjoy your posts. They always give me a lot to think about. But I'm glad you do not allow it to overtake your life. No one should be tied to their computer. It just is not healthy. I'm glad you rest and relax when you can.
