“let your children see you slow down.
read a book, walk in the woods,
sip coffee in the early hours of the morning.
because when they grow up,
they’ll know how to slow down, too.”

one long process.
got together at a friend’s house
for a night of catching up and relaxing
the cat seemed to be taking the mission very seriously
and is my idol.

power down.
a lovely ladies’ weekend spent with friends at the lake house
with a long hike through the winter woods
wonderful comfort foods and wine to share
warm blankets, pajamas, slippers
long discussions
on one thing leading to another
ranging from
our favorite cutlery (i prefer small pieces)
to our grown children (we do the best we can)
to humor (what’s funny to one…)
to politics, the state of the world, and more
(each with our own perspectives, experiences, and ideas)
no subject off limits
then spoiling ourselves with magic spa treatments
so relaxing and so powerful in so many ways.
“i feel like i’m a super hero diva and my power is glitter.”

break.
friends take a break from recess
in the empty water table
while still waiting for some snow.
recess can be so exhausting.

find that place.
spending the day off
with a couple of grandies and their neighborhood friends
lounging around
staying in pajamas
watching ‘the dark crystal’ ( 80s sci-fi movie)
having snacks
and
just enjoying life.

“it is nice finding that place where you can just go and relax.”
