But thank you for sharing your wisdom about slowing down. I could not have read this post at a better time. I'm in deadline crisis and feeling overwhelmed. You reminded me to take a break, so I went outside for a few minutes and hung out with my chickens. Strangely enough, watching chickens is very relaxing! Hope you have a wonderful 2011.

It is a narrow line between being a close friend and a reading friend. Do Not, however, ever think 'No One cared' because you just haven't any idea how much we do care. It is ok to take a break too. I had the universal coffee-break of the Century (to me,) and I learned it is ok to lean on others. <br /><br />Love to Hubby too!<br />Jeannie and LouisJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892005873411857926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-25179636598223730412011-01-03T19:13:49.661-05:002011-01-03T19:13:49.661-05:00So glad you are feeling better!

My sister had an odd fall in November and broke her hip, my sister who was going in 2 days on a trip with my mid 80 year old parents and the other octogenarians from their complex, she was the 60 year old who fell and had to have partial hip replacement. She works too hard, does too much and it was her wake up call to slow down. She took an 8 week leave from work, she healed and re-habed and read, she read a lot! She had to learn the hard way she said. <br />Wishing you a healthy 2011!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-14053957443693785622011-01-03T14:47:31.286-05:002011-01-03T14:47:31.286-05:00Oh, you're all making me feel EVEN better!
