The new year has dawned and I still have a little bit of hope that things will straighten up and turn out alright, the greater part of me feels like the world is in a tailspin and there's no pulling up. That's for the world at large. Personally I'm trying very hard to have order in my life, to make things better however I can.
After the calm comes the storm. I suppose that's the reverse of how that old saying goes but for me it's not a matter of weathering the storms but expecting them. It's that sense of unease when things are too quiet. (This dress by the way, was one of my freebies from J.ING. I'm so disappointed that they ended the $100 prize for submitting reviews!)
Anytime I get a nice little break from work or life in general it is immediately followed by a tempestuous season of high activity the likes of which a few days preemptive rest have barely readied me for.
That's why I take my peace and quiet so seriously. I know they won't last and if I don't make the most of them, I won't make it through the next storm with my health and sanity intact.
Right now I am in the middle of one of my busiest, and most physically demanding weeks of the year, so I am thankful for every morning I slept in, every healthy meal I took time to prepare, every quiet moment spent in reflection, staring out a window lost in thought. I'll just have to hope that it's enough to get me through this crazy week so I can rest again and prepare for the next one on the way.
