Overall though, it was a great week. It didn't feel overwhelming or painstaking to do the things I had on the list and more than that even. The things that could wait, I still didn't do, which is how it always is with priorities. The real priorities actually get done.

The main thing I can't seem to make time for when I fit in all my priorities is intentional rest. Yoga, reading, quiet walks. None of those things I manage to fit into a week. Even when I'm tired, I feel like there's something I want to be doing (like editing Jolene's wedding!). We took our old neighbor kids for a swim yesterday and they talked about being bored this summer. Tory and I both said the same thing - I wish I had time to be bored! On a macro scale, I hope that life can come in phases and swells of prolificness just like a span of a few weeks does. In the next phase of life, I really really want to build in slowness. Pauses. Time to read and stretch and wander. 

In this phase though, Tory started a thankfulness prayer before we fall asleep. Sometimes he falls asleep during it. Sometimes I don't go to bed in time to join him for it. But I hope that more peace grows out of including more thankfulness in our lives.

Oh and we cancelled Netflix!
