Serene State

Happy Thursday, lovelies! Wow, what a week it's been so far. First with J's ER visit, then the computer decides to go on the fritz, all of this while I'm trying to get things wrapped up for our vacation next week. These things do not make for calm nerves, that's for sure.

Feeling the need for some serene time to relax & regroup so I can get everything taken care of.

Hope you're all having a wonderful week! And if I haven't gotten around to you yet, I apologize. Hope to have computer issues resolved soon!

xoxo

    Gah, don't you wish that there was an Avada Kadavara (sorry my inner Harry Potter coming out) button on your computer that wipes any issues away!

    Hope you chill lovely, tese images sure make me think of cosy fires and some r n' r!

    That usually happens when you get ready for your vacation, more issues than usual to take care of all. But look at the bright side: you'll enjoy your time off even more after all this excitement. Have a wonderful day, Dawn! xo

    You are having a tough week, Dawn. Computer problems are definitely inconvenient when running a blog. Is J feeling better? Your vacation couldn't be coming at a better time. I promise to get my guest post/draft over to you real soon! xo

    Enjoy the relaxation.
    Some times it is simply needed to take a (loads) of moments and do nothing. It is part of a happy and fulfilled life. (Basically it is an art as not everyone can actually do this).

    Have a beautiful day.

    I totally understand your getting stressed over stupid pc problems! I'm waiting for a steady internet to come on Friday, until that I'll get completely nuts!!

    Oh Dawn, there is nothing worse than computer issues! Hope yours are resolved and that you get a bit of time to recoup. I'm feeling under the weather today too--hoping to feel better so I can finish out the week!

    Hope J is doing better and that you're okay too! For some reason, I've felt frenetic this week too. A little stretching, a few deep breaths...hopefully that'll help!
