TIME

Thank your Daylight Savings Time! I have NEVER in my LIFE been so happy to have an extra hour show up for the weekend. I tend to have overly busy days lately, and it is a source of much meditation. I would like to simplify my personal schedule as part of my overall movement towards LESS. I would like LESS time stress. I am not the only person out there who has super hectic days all too often--I know what some of your lives are like!!! But I have to say this was a doozey of a weekend for me and my family. I would like to share so that you can appreciate how much we loved that extra hour.....
