I was away for 12 days a while back and it felt like a month!! It was full of workshop, travel, road trip, craft fair, meeting people... and I can barely remember the first few days of it! Funny how time works that way... I know that when I'm away for a workshop (6 days), it takes me a while to gather up the threads of my life... But these 12 days feel like such a longer time. And trying to pick up the threads of my life is taking a bit more effort and time.
My email in-box is clogged with work emails... I didn't look at them while I was away and now... well, now, I need to deal with them! Thank God for wireless access though... as my other email accounts have been tidied up regularly while I was away!
My desk is full of stacks of mail, both personal and work related. As my home office is also my work office, there are piles of work related things calling for my attention as well...
There are things to do about the house... Grocery shopping to take care of... Laundry to do... Cats to cuddle...
Part of me could begin to feel a bit overwhelmed and yet I know that the way to handle all of this is just to do one thing at a time... I don't have to do everything all at once... just one thing at a time... And things will get done... And I will create some space... Just handle one thread at a time...

Cats to cuddle? What a nice way to get a short reprieve from all the work and stress. I find that when i take the time to play with my Rascal Shih Tzu just for a moment, it seems to give my left brain just a little break and I can think better. A friend quipped "That's it's role in life..just to be cute and funny." He never takes things too seriously and in such a simple way becomes a teacher and guide!
Have a wonderful day!
