The Simple Quiet

Although the weather isn't always the nicest...

this is a nice time of year for me.

If a stubborn cold wants to linger, I'm not under too many deadlines.

If the snow piles high, I am home with the wood stove and hot chocolate.

If I need to meet a deadline, the crock pot or the pressure cooker gives me the time I seek and a good hot meal (or two) for us.

It's not so crazy, busy and I can rest up a little.

It is the time of year for me to pick up my pen and draw new note cards.

This year I have the Wee Shoppe to think about too, so the pencil has been getting a workout with new designs.

There is plenty to keep busy, but I feel like I can catch my breath...

center myself...

try to pick up where I left off when it got so busy, last year.

Find those projects,

Set sail those goals that I did not get to work on.

I feel like I can think clearer.

Balance life.

Enjoy the simple quiet.
