Y’all, it’s been a week, and I’m so glad it’s Friday. I had in mind to write an essay today to start a new series of posts that I’m super excited about, but I’m honestly too tired. I’m sure you know the feeling.
Next week, I hope, will be a little better, and hopefully I’ll get a bit more done. For now, enjoy this adorable picture of Merlin – growing and growing – being snuggly.
He likes to play just as often as he likes to cuddle, if not more. But I treasure these moments, when he wants attention and purrs and we can just take a minute to slow down.
Back next week with hopefully some better writing. In the meantime, I’m wishing all of you (and me) a fabulous weekend, and ideally, a restful one as well.

I appreciate that. 🙂 I feel like I’ve needed a lot of rest lately. Maybe it’s just a tired season.

I can relate, yet it’s hard for me to sit still to rest both physically & mentally, smh.

It is hard! I have a really hard time slowing down, too. I always feel bad when I’m not being productive. It’s an issue I’ve really been trying to work on in the last several months. And probably longer, honestly, now that I think about it. I’m getting better. 🙂 I hope you take some time, if you need it.

I wish you well and will keep you in my prayers. It is also something I’ve been working on for a while. I feel so guilty when I’m not productive even though I constantly tell myself “it’s ok to rest Tammy”. What’s worse is I’m not even a procrastinator so it’s not as if things pile up. I think I simply feel better once I can scratch it off my mental list, haha.
Take care my dear!!!

You do the same! I have a color-coded Excel spreadsheet list. If everything isn’t checked off by the end of the week, I feel awful about it. Sigh.

It’s great to be able to recognise when you need rest! I still struggle with that. I hope you were able to have a very restful weekend! (And your kitty is gorgeous!!! I love him! Funnily enough, my brother’s puppy is also named Merlin. It’s a great name! 😊)

It was a very restful weekend, and I’m feeling much better. 🙂 It is a struggle, though. But so important.
Merlin is a great name! He’s a joy. I’m sure the puppy is, too!
