Better balance?

Struggling with a lifestyle in transition- business demands , the increasing angst about balancing the urgent and the important tasks of the days and just longing for a much more peaceful pace of life. This morning however has been lovely- being in the garden , listening to some gentle music ,picking apples and making an apple crumble to take to a friend's house tonight for dinner.
The rest of today is busy but this morning has restored some balance.
This is the rainy , autumnal view from the kitchen window.
