love your list (as always). Beautiful photo!
thank you and thank you, Karen!
A beautiful compilation, Michelle. I love how you include baking bread and chopping vegetables, I find both to be so meditative! Sewing buttons? Not so much… xx
sewing buttons isn’t for everyone, for sure! and honestly, it’s a task I usually procrastinate doing, but once I do it, I remember how calming it is for me ;)
All so perfect to tuck away in case of an emergency!
because we all have those days, right?!
I love your list, you have such a calming attitude that reflects through your voice and words. Have a wonderful Thursday.
so glad you can feel the calm, Barbara…thanks for telling me that. hope you have a wonderful Thursday too!!
All such good things to remember, Michelle and so easy to forget too with the busyness of life. Have a lovely day xx
yes, so easy to forget in the hustle and bustle (I need these reminders myself!).
wishing you a lovely day too, Jane!
I need reminding too, so thank you x Also meant to say, your image is simply beautiful, Michelle : )
I dare say everyone needs reminders now and then!
and thank you xxx
