Texture #4

A bit of lazy morning
Chilling out in bed and reading a few chapters of a good book. Then time to get lots of bits and bobs finished before term (and all the other regular activities) starts again on Monday.
Answering all emails.
Filing everything away.
Reading all those saved journals that I've put off for a few weeks.
Clear desk and inbox = clear mind

Then I let my creative juices flow. It's my mums birthday next week and I've made this card for her. I love the different textures and patterns on this... Especially the lace bit.

In my book this morning I was reading about having an unhurried life.... This is something I struggle with. I'm always rushing from one thing to the next multitasking and clock watching. I hate the western issue of being bound by time... That's something I do really love about Africa... The lack of care about time. (although sometimes it's frustrating, the majority of the time it's lovely having that slower pace!) I'm trying to work at slowing my life down to be able to stop and enjoy the view more but....
How do you slow your life down?
How do you suggest I slow mine down??
I don't feel rested!!
How do you switch off?
I don't seem to have an 'off' button!!
Any ideas are welcome!
