I've been busy despite my efforts to keep things simple. I feel so stretched for time, that even to make today feel easier, I was dropping a package off at a friends at 10:45 last night. Seems my days don't end, and they still aren't long enough. I can't imagine how I would achieve anything if I had a job outside of my home. Kuddos to those of you who lead a creative life, work, raise your kids, have time for exercise and still have room left over for your husband and yourself. Are you out there? If so, please, do tell how! Anyway, I don't know how much I will be posting over the next couple days. We are visiting family and friends and our days will be full. I also teach my first Yoga class next week, I want to be prepared for that, so I need to focus some time on being quiet and keeping my practice up. I have to admit, I feel a bit overwhelmed right now. I love the Christmas season, I love the snow we have right now, I love playing Christmas carols, having the Christmas lights on, the smell of cookies baking, wrapping presents, sending and receiving cards... But a part of me is ready for it to transpire into something else. Something a little more organic; less shopping, more Yoga, less sugar, more salads... Don't get me wrong, I am super excited for Christmas morning with my son and husband, and the rest of the family visiting we have that day, and I am so lucky most of us are in the same town and not missing each other due to the snow. (I won't see my mom however) But I am craving a bit more balance. Am I alone in this? Well if I don't get a chance to post in the next couple days, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, and I hope everyone has a safe, healthy, warm few days. I will leave you with a few snowy photos from a full day in it yesterday. (this is not normal for Vancouver)
