   Great to see the slowing down is going well! Don’t even apologize for not commenting or answering comments, it should not be an obligation and you have all the right to do it at a…. slower pace! ;-)

   loved the touchable bubbles….

   i’m going so slow it looks like I’ve stopped! :)
   Enjoy your time with family and friends- and I love your potato eggs! We’ve been rainy and thunderstormy as well- but I have no backyard eggs to show for it- must remember to get some chooks! LOL!

   Making a deliberate effort to slow down is a wonderful thing to do. Looking forward to doing that now that school is starting again and Fall is right around the corner. Saunter on! Maz. :-)

   Enjoy your family time, it is something you can never make up later in life! We certainly enjoy our family time as well, of course today it involved some VERY muddy boys!

    You should be able to dictate your own pace without any obligation Celia. You should only be concerned with looking after your needs, the rest of us don’t matter in the scheme of things :)
    Littlej so desperately would have loved to go to the Mythbusters show, but we couldn’t make it this time :( Your photos are lovely sweetie, the rock with lichen at top is just beautiful. Relax and refresh yourself sweetie xox

    Slowing down is the way to go. Getting away form the ‘enthusiasms’ and having time to see the beautiful things around you, or perhaps develop some new enthusiasms. Now excuse me, but my bubbly Celia starter is calling for some attention.

    Hope you are enjoying the family time! I adore that picture of the eggs- one of my faves.

    Wonderful! I need to do this too. Had a cold last week, so stayed home all weekend. Played a game of Monopoly with my youngest that started Saturday morning and ended Sunday night…..during the course of the game we also made orange cakes and marmalade and picked oranges from our neighbour’s tree. Lovely. Enjoy life in the slower lane, Celia. I’m sure your family are loving it and you deserve some time for you too! Xxx

    I think it’s wise to slow down a bit every now and then Celia, good for you for taking care of yourself. I hope you are enjoying the glorious weather today, I’m so lucky Monday is part of my weekend!

    Well at least you manage to do some posts, my life is too hectic to sit at the computer unless it is for crisis management!
    Building programme underway and laying foundation for seafood cookery school here. Trying to slow down but it is not in my D & A.

    Slowing down is most important, spending quality times with family and friends. Taking in the very moment , rebooting and setting new goals. Enjoy your time “off” and keep taking deep in-and exhales, it clears the soul and the busy brain.

    Slowing down is so important and living in the moment to really enjoy life, not just let it pass us all bye. It’s a good reminder for all of us. I also love your potato eggs!

    I did think they were potatoes! I had to go back to check if I read it right! Fun eggs! Fun bubbles!

    Good on you Celia! I often wondered how you manage to cover so much with such diligence. As a ‘type A’ personality myself, I have trouble keeping up with how much you manage to do. Nice to prioritise and smell the roses (or food) in our lives. Family & friends will still be there when all else slows as it inevitably does in the cycle of things :)

    We certainly have had a lot of rain and I believe there’s a lot more to come. Happy birthday to Small Man xx

    Love the colours in your garden photo Celia! :D Good to hear that you’ve been pacing yourself :D

    Permission to potter granted, with love. When every minute is consumed with being busy we’re most liable to miss a small, but glorious second.

    I’ve slowed down so much I seem to have missed your last slow down post. So many other things to do that are much more fun than sitting in front of a computer screen – enjoy them. I’m looking out the Rummikub to while away a wet Bank Holiday Monday evening.

    I love your ‘mind the gap’ photo.

    You’re all so lovely, thank you! It’s been a wet and happy week! xxx

    I am longing for the time when I can slow it down myself. Unfortunately, I’m in full crisis mode trying to get the yard and house ready for my daughter’s engagement party Sept. 13. The shrubbery, weeds, and trees have totally gotten out of control and today I couldn’t stand looking at the back deck railings which are all chipping paint & mildew from the trees. So today was a bleaching & paint scraping kind of day. So looking at your lovely photos has really calmed me down & given me a nice rest break – thank you.

    Life sounds good, enjoy your time with your family and friends.

    Everyone needs to work at a pace that keeps them happy. Happy people write happy blogs. I know how hard it is to be there for everyone, get everything done and still have enough ‘me’ left to put in the blog. Take a break. We love you.

    Its always lovely to sit back and spend more time on things that really matter, like our family! Enjoy your slow time & make the most of it!
    I have actually been doing the same & its wonderful the amount of peace it brings :-)
