Still moments


We live in a very busy time, always doing something, always connected to the world beyond our walls with our phone pinging away whether we want it to or not. 
As lovely as that  might be, it's also I think bad for us, and it takes self restraint not to fill up every moment.
"Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax"

Having spent the last 2 weekends away relaxing at the beach, I now have a weekend with barely any plans. A quiet and easy Valentine's date at the movies, drinks with friends late Saturday afternoon and then a play Sunday night. So hopefully I can shut off and chill the way I did when there was nothing else to do in the remote locations...
"Happiness is in the quiet, ordinary things" = Virginia Woolf.

Rest & recharge is the order of the day in an ever increasingly busy world!

    Great post reminding us to slow down a little. I've always thought that the small pleasures are the best.

    The best way to rejuvenate is to relax and do nothing, dawn shots are amazing. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
