Advent 2010, Day 1: Where do you wish to go slow?

My Full Moon Board that was a First of the Month Board this year. "What moves you?" "They came out of nowhere to change everything" The long braided girl reminded me of my younger self. :) And of course handbags and shoes.
Lots and lots of handbags and shoes! Lol! "Let there be love" Four Argentinian paints.

Today is Wednesday and that means it´s time to gather round the cyber fire at Jamie´s place.
Today she asked: Where do you wish to go slow?

November flew by with Art Every Day Month. In fact 2010 flew by. The results were spectacular but it is time to slow down a bit.
Mati finished school yesterday (first cicle of secondary school). Tati will finish next week (primary school Year 5).
I wish to take these summer holidays slow.
That includes the Advent season that begins today. I wish to savour each day. Take time to reflect, craft and connect for this time of the year that depending on your attitude may be extremelly fullfilling or extremelly stressing. :)
It will also include a trip South with some books and art stuff. ;)
And of course our (my son´s and mine) birthday month. A period of relax before classes start again.

  6. What a lovely question: where do you wish to go slow? I think I will journal on that today. Now that AEDM is over, I am moving from on-line to off-line journal...don't want to lose the momentum of the month, but that momentum defined itself in play not pressure. Thus this is the perfect question for me - how do I wish to accomplish things in play and leisure instead of go-go-go. Quite a different answer, really! Thaks for sharing!
