Ask me...I know. I work and teach and blog and help run a scrap store. (Add to that: married and have a kid at school...) There seems to be no creative time to fill the soul which is why we started doing all this in the first place! I have tried to make changes and create some balance this year too. Seems that there are a few of us in the same boat, the world over! Good luck to you on your journey, may you find your solution.Belinda Bassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229140792979430191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-59310644801862640602014-05-24T06:48:31.560-05:002014-05-24T06:48:31.560-05:00I can only imagine what it looked like, everyone w...I can only imagine what it looked like, everyone was probably laughing along with you.

I am sorry this must have been embarrassing, but oh dear- so darned funny. <br /><br />Oh Jim..do get that balance right. In our modern times, there's just so much to interest a person.Hard to not want to do it all.<br />I have recently been doing deep muscle relaxation with a cd every afternoon.It takes half an hour, and then the voice on the cd goes into a guided visualisation. I feel so relaxed after the half hour, that it's like I've had a long sleep, and sets me up for the evening. It also takes away that "hurried/hassled" feeling. Might be worth t a try? <br />Judy xxJudys Lace Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421454610579513135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-38739637610502698272014-05-23T17:50:36.385-05:002014-05-23T17:50:36.385-05:00I roared LOLing when I read your paper towel roll ...I roared LOLing when I read your paper towel roll flying out.
