He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world.
- Marcus Aurelius
What a cluttered week this one is proving to be. Busy, yes- however its an enjoyable pace. I think being able to feel peace amid the chaos is what had been helping me stay grounded and not feel stretched.
My weeks this Autumn are filling up with Co-op, the mom's support group I am now volunteering with, bible study, and play dates (oh and not to mention errands!) But I am fine with this clutter. Its predictable and workable. If need be and I am no longer at peace or my children are not either, there are ways to cut back. But Co-op remains a priority, and one that I love. This week my Co-op partner Anya is hosting and leading. Out theme is families. Its nice to observe the children in a new light and to also be sharing the duties week by week. So I suppose this is my off week in a way!
But to to the cluttered weeks I will be having and just not feeling a well (darn allergies), I probably will not be in this place daily anymore. Mostly certainly 3-4 times a week but I just wanted to update you so you don't think I am unwell.
I am working on my Winter submission to http://rhythmofthehome.com/. I am excited and I hope it goes over well.

You have been busy. Sometimes clutter is just a sign of a life being lived!
ReplyDeleteThanks and so true! It sure is being lived.. as best as we can with lots of God's help for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote! It is always a balancing act to live life without cramming it too full, isn't it? I'm thinking you have that balance down pretty well though.
