That's me. It's almost 1:30 pm today--and I've been laying on this couch doing nothing all day! Well, if you consider yakkin' on the phone and surfing the net nothing--which I kind of do. And guess what--this feels really good. Like, really-really-REALLY good!!
Of course--I have lots of other things I could be doing--work I should be doing to get myself caught up--ahead of the game even. But I choose not to. I choose to enjoy the way my body feels melting into the cushion. I choose to love the way Nyla is all curled up at the end of the couch. She's perfected the act of being and has no regrets about it what-so-ever.
Listen, I'm going to tell you something. There's only 18 more days of school left till summer break! 18 more days left of this life--and then I turn the page--start a new chapter--begin a new leg of the journey. And I'm declaring right here--right now, in this next chapter---I insist on there being more days like this. Where the couch does all the work---and I just show up!

Moments of getting lost right there within the cushion of the sofa...and just letting go...pretty awesome stuff!! Enjoy the sofa....
Ahhhh, I just love to "BE" sometimes. It's so good for the soul to just let go of the worries, stresses, timelines, etc and just really relax. Ahhhh! Yeah, that about covers it.
Peace & Love,

I hear ya! I have 29 days left until summer break and I. Can. Not. Wait. I am a true believer that time off in the summer is a necessity! Enjoy the rest of the day!
Namaste'

today I mowed the lawn. Took a nice long shower, a nap, went out to eat, then took another nap. I enjoy the fact that I can choose to just do this sort of thing becuase I can. Now that I'm awake again, I'm going to make a cup of coffee and work in my studio until I pass out from tired.
Reassuring that it is OK to hang out and web surf etc which is really recharging the batteries. I only move at a snail's pace when I'm sick like right now. Need to relax more. Found your site a while back from the circles/pastels youtube video and that has inspired me to do new stuff.
we sometimes need the downtime - it's cathartic & rejuvenating so make the most of it. i'm looking forward to seeing how things change in the very near future. i'm excited for you! hugs!!
You somehow bring out the best in me...as that is exactly what I'm doing today....just feeling ugh! Maybe this is what we need today!
lovely idea! i think i will ask my couch if she is available for a long date ...
actually, the bed is calling to me (if i can find my way through the piles of books heaped around it, all waiting for that day spent in bed reading!)
wha'cha listening to?
and every Body says ahhhh;
just being
amen
I always say, there is nothing like a little time just staring at the ceiling. It is necessary!
