“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” ~ John Lubbock This morning I’m not blogging. I’m sleeping. Sleeping is healing, and […]
Chakra Journal Challenge Postponed Until Tomorrow Because…
“Blown up a toilet? We’ve never blown up a toilet.” “Great idea though, thanks, Mum.” ~ J.K.
