You are right to relook at your Pause for Advent logo-it is much better to slow down and accept that things take a bit longer than to get burnt out. I've got a flute friend with Chronic Fatigue because of that. Thanks for organising the Pause again.Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-19198219796478888162018-12-02T15:21:01.997+00:002018-12-02T15:21:01.997+00:00This is so true!

There's a message in our aging, our slowing, that we couldn't understand when we were younger. Yay!

However, it means there is more time to appreciate the sunset, enjoy a cup of tea with a friend or walk the dog in the open air.mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897831198080775573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-27057768492627626832018-12-02T11:44:49.981+00:002018-12-02T11:44:49.981+00:00Exactly how I'm feeling right now, Angela and ...Exactly how I'm feeling right now, Angela and with retirement looming for me next May, I'm terribly unsure of my future financially. I will miss the payslips every month, sure but can my knees keep up with t he daily grind and I can honestly say I'm heartily sick of getting up with the alarm every morning at 7am at the golden age of nearly 65!!It's all very well having the 'freedom' of retirement but you also need the financial back-up to support it.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-39810560321359307822018-12-02T10:17:08.634+00:002018-12-02T10:17:08.634+00:00Sometimes, a pause is just what is needed; to catc...Sometimes, a pause is just what is needed; to catch our breath, to take stock of the situation, to contemplate, to make any adjustments, if needed, before we continue.
