I've been getting clear messages this past week, both from people who care, and from my own body: I need to s...l...o...w... d...o...w...n... I am juggling too many balls, all of them of my own choosing. I read something a while back that really resonated with me: "Some say that busyness is a form of laziness. Because you're too lazy to work out what not to do." (Michael Bungay Stanier) And so, I am in the process of making the difficult decisions about what NOT to do.
Last night, I chose NOT to go out to the theatre with a group of friends. My hacking cough would have been entirely inappropriate and exhausting. I stayed home and ended up playing with self-portrait! Dare I say it, I believe these shots are beautiful.

Thanks Ladies! The right choices are not always easy, n'est-ce pas? :-)
ReplyDeleteI picked up the coat in the bottom pic when I was in NYC in 2006. It's a one of a kind picked up at The Market NYC in SoHo. I just loooove the way I feel when I wear it!
