Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Every time I see someone apologize for not writing more, not writing sooner, not posting lately, not being available every second of the day, I think "we aren't supposed to be always available and always communicating and always creating, let's stop apologizing for this ..." and I also have a long history of doing this myself, even MANY MANY MANY times to my own journals, dating back to my childhood. I'm a work in progress and I love seeing my work mirrored in this way.
Nice to see you, again, and glad you took time for you and followed what was true for you. I relate to the compulsion to apologize for my absence, and to the yearning for rest and recuperation to be normalized, and to the recognition that I am where I am with my body (and everything else, for that matter), so all I can do is keep learning.
So good to read from you again! I am really deepening my understanding of rest – the most important lesson lately. I don't think I really ever knew what rest was, and struggled to pause. Rarely would I sit and just read for hours, or just look out the window, or just hang out with the cats without my mind telling me I should be doing something more "productive". Returning to the magic of doing nothing is therefore my latest delight!

That is just it. We project our own patterns and stories out there. We're all simply mirrors to each other. ❤️

The change we wanna see starts with us, right? ❤️
100% :) ❤️

I love that for you. May the pause delight you daily. ❤️
