Really beginning to enjoy blogging again...

Anyhow, a day when we didn't really get much of anything done that we wanted to get done.  Breakfast became brunch, and was enjoyed immensely after washing one of the cats, who had managed to acquire a fine collection of fleas.  This was followed by a drive across to Redcliffe, but unfortunately the beach today, while looking lovely, was altogether too windy to enjoy.  Also in a sure sign that summer seems to be behind us for a while, the combination of wind and shade left me feeling decidedly under-dressed and I expect that the time to keep a warm shirt for such occasions is now upon us again.

I digress though, to the feeling that we didn't get as much done as we wanted to.  Sometimes we have certain expectations that we place on ourselves, things we want to get done and start to panic when they don't happen.  Somedays however the universe has decided that we don't need to do those things and today was one of those days.  It has been a long and difficult week all round the last week, replete with drama and disappointment, and while the temptation is to keep busy so we don't have to think about things, we are far better served by taking the time out to recharge our batteries and recover from our outlay of nervous energy. 

So when you have been under stress, remember, it's the weekend, and time to take some time off from your troubles, time to go sit in the sun, write out your thoughts, enjoy a coffee and a nice breakfast, play with the kids, whatever.  You are bigger than your problems and stresses.
