The first photo here is My Mom’s homemade borscht! It is one of the bazillion things for which I am so thankful!

Rest is a right
Time for yourself is healing
We cannot be on-the-go constantly
This is your reminder to take some down time

I’m feeling “too digital” - I live in the city. I live in an apartment. I’m disabled and don’t get around easily. Time to ground myself with my “citified” surroundings. I’m really needing it these days. My energy feels “heavy”.

“Its being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it, and we can hope for the future, but we con’t know if there is one.” - G. Harrison

I’m releasing all that no longer serves my highest good and best life. I have made room for and opened the door to goodness, prosperity, wellness, wealth, and an abundance of joy!
