Driving down the street one day last week – windows open, because it was a gorgeous day – I heard something scrape against the roof of the car.
A leaf came fluttering down into the passenger seat.
It said, “Enough already, stop, take a break”! Lol
No, but seriously. It made me think more, about stopping.
Stopping to breathe. Stopping to declutter. Stopping to reflect, pray, and come to a conclusion on what it is I want.
Stopping to have fun, celebrate turning a year older and enjoy my favorite time of year before I look up and all the tree branches are bare.
Lately, I’ve been feeling overstimulated. Tired, yet restless. Productive, but directionless. This won’t do, so I will be taking a break from blogging (and “unplugging” from social media) for awhile to just…stop.
I’m not sure how long until the next blog post but, know that I always appreciate you for reading.
Till then, I wish you a relaxing, joy-filled Fall!
P.S.
I added this leaf to my collection.
