Being Still When Life Gets Busy

Sometimes life can really play havoc with one’s plans.  That pretty much describes my month of May.  So far there has more days than not, that I’ve felt like yelling May Day, May Day!  So here I am, playing catch up on some of my lessons.  My Be Still 52 class lessons.  Yet many of those days when I’ve wanted to holler out a May Day or two, I’ve still found a few minutes to just be still.  Oh how those few minutes can help to get through they 24 hours that surround them.

Week 48 class prompt – Coffee or Tea and Coins.  I was inspired to serve up some dollar coins and tea.  Coins for the piggy bank and tea for me. I’ve used Kim Klassen’s Lightroom Preset of kk_oldendays

Week 49 prompt – to look back over the year and find an image that reflects our thoughts of being still…oh, how I needed this one.  The image I selected goes all the back to week 9, yet I didn’t use it as the image for the week 9 prompt.  However, it’s always been one of favorite.  Using preset kk_breeze on this one.

Week 50 prompt was to make a mess and show movement in our image.  Here’s the thing…I don’t do well with messes.  Not even close.  I was tempted to just shine this prompt on.  Then, without knowing it, hubby took care of the problem for me.  He made a mess in the kitchen and also provided the movement.  I know this is not at all what Kim had in mind with this prompt.  But hey, it works for me.

The upside to this mess….he cleans up when he’s done and now I have new, energy efficient ceiling lights that replace the old circa 1980’s big bulb monsters.
