Gosh this is all so very familiar to me! It’s the self compassion that’s so hard to find as ‘to-do’ lists get longer - but maybe what we should do is pop that at the top of every list! x
You get a lot done! I work like this for sure. I learned getting distracted by books is not all that bad, well, unless you have a show to make work for! Best wishes and happy potting!
Thank you, Alford! It's hard not to work like that when you are your own boss, I suppose. It's hard, though to fit the silence and the moments of "nothingness" I believe are needed for creative work in the midst of housework and all else ... is balance even achievable?
Oh my goodness yes, always so much to do, just thinking of it all is exhausting. I do the same, in that I have a hundred things I think I will get done on my ‘days off’ are rarely accomplish even half. Much love 💛✨
Ha! Yes, it seems Spring got us both spinning indeed!
The weather since I posted this has turned wintery cold (we've turned the heating back on and have the fireplace going....) so at least I have a reason to leave gardening aside for now... Next week, though, it's supposed to be warm again so we'll see.
O teu texto fez-me sorrir. Tantas coisas para fazer e o tempo tão curto!... Acho que é bom sinal não termos tempo para nos aborrecermos, poder chegar ao fim do dia e pensar: fiz muitas coisas mas não tantas quantas queria; tenho projectos para amanhã. O que é preciso combater é a frustração, é a sensação - errada - de que não se fez nada. E tu fazes muito, eu sei. Beijinhos muitos
Sara, you are so joyfully alive! There will never be enough hours in the day to hold all your energy and zest for life—all the things you love and care about. So be it. 💛💛💛

I do need to work on that... and on setting myself more realistic to-do lists!
Hope the course is going well, Vanessa!

I dont think so. It all might be just life! 😊

Yes! I must learn not to make lists or to make shorter lists! 😄
Thank you for reading, Emily, and I hope your mug arrives soon!
Oh my goodness I can’t wait!! 💛 yes - no lists (says she who makes them constantly 🤣)
Amen to everything you said! So many things that I want to do, so few hours…☺️ Spinning spring…😋

Take care, Rachel!

Dear Ann! Indeed there aren't enough hours for all the things I would like to learn, read, do... I guess I just need to make my peace with it ☺️🤎
