Today has been one of those days when I have done nothing but rest, it may even have been the most relaxing day that I have had in many years - reminiscent of some Sunday's in my early 20's before the specters of truly adult responsibilities & having too many things to do in a day appeared in my life. With this relaxation however has also come a bit of anxiety. I have not done anything today. I have not produced anything. I am chomping at the bit to begin a new quilt, but I have not managed to decide on which one - of the many that are floating about in my head - I want to commit to. I want to sit and sew the day away, but I am not yet prepared to do so. I have, therefore, been embroidering on some more bags & knitting some gifts for the holidays. How is ,I wonder, that having such a gloriously 'nothing' day can also bring with it this slight edge of anxiety? Maybe because I feel like I must be producing something every day? I am committed to finishing this day out with a sense of peace & happiness - and gratitude that DH has been so relaxed as well (he's on vacation) that I am actually able to do nothing & not feel a passel of guilty thoughts about it. Nice really, that his being on vacation has also allowed me to also have a vacation of sorts - and I think that being able to rest so much these days is allowing me to remain well & ready to kick my Houston trip off "in the pink". Hopefully, by the time I leave I will have my next quilt started at least!It is my belief that feather's are the "notes" or "messages" from the angels. I have collected feathers for many years. This enchanting little bit of perfection found me today. I like to think that the angels too gave me 'permission' to take the day off.
Blessings to you all as the new week begins. I hope that you are also experiencing some rest and peace today.
