Don't know where this week went. My commitment to blog at least three times per week went right out the window! I am crushed that I couldn't spend more time creating and tried to figure out why. I went over the past week's activities . . . house renovations, my son's college tours and applications, mountains of laundry, helping my daughter get set up in her new condo, groceries, bill paying, doctor's appointment . . . whew . . . oh yes, now I remember why I didn't have time to paint or blog!
I thought to myself, I haven't been "still" all week. I can't create in this chaos. So I pulled out some pictures of a painting I did for a friend when she needed this reminder a few months back.
This painting brought me peace. It reminded me to take some time to be quiet and just {BE}. The world is crashing down around us and we really need to find time and space away from it all. Time for ourselves, and space to sit and have a brief {RESPITE}.
I could get lost in this painting. So today, I promise myself that I have done {ENOUGH} for the week and today I will regroup and rest. No phone calls, no email, no errands, no chores. Today I will just {BE STILL}.

Enjoy your still day! You are so right about it being necessary. We could all use more STILL.
