“Stepping out of the busyness, stopping our endless pursuit of getting somewhere else, is perhaps the most beautiful offering we can make to our spirit.”*
Give yourself permission to stop whatever you are doing this weekend and take a few deep breaths. Really.
Don’t just think about it, actually do it.
I had a busy morning with grocery shopping and a haircut plus a therapy session. After I publish this, I’m going to go rest. Probably read a few more pages of Diane Glass’s new book, This Need to Dance: A Life of Rhythm and Resilience. I am on page 60 and have had trouble putting it down. Diane has attended my Tai Chi class and I have visited with her while in line for the women’s room at Des Moines Metro Opera. I can’t wait to see her again to tell her how much I resonate with her writing.
Let me know about your relationship with busyness. Do you ever take breaks? Do you think about taking care of your spirit? This is a new thought for me. I like it! And lastly, what are you reading these days?
Thanks for exploring the mystery – NickyMendenhall

Regarding Busyness… I have FINALLY,after many years of being last to take a breath or a brake, definitely decided that being a little selfish can save a lot of sanity !!! JUST DO IT 🙂
So happy for you! Enjoy your life!
Hey, Nicky, thanks for mentioning "This Need to Dance." I'm glad you are enjoying it. Your blog is lively and relevant to much of what I am interested in. It's bookmarked now! Diane
Hi Diane,
Thanks for the note. You are most welcome about the mention – I'm going to curl up and listen to the rain this afternoon and read Chapter 9. I do resonate with much of what you write. It has been a helpful read for me. Hope we can connect sometime soon.
