Ebb and Flow

by

Written by Karen D. Swim

It has been a quiet week here at Words For Hire.  As everyone turned their attention to Easter, Passover and spring break it was an excellent time to slow the pace, and flow with the rhythm.

When I first started my businesss, I never took time off around the holidays. One year on January 1, I realized that everyone else had taken off and I really could have taken advantage of the slow down to rest. Of course I realized it the day before everyone came back renewed, refreshed and ready to kick it into third gear!

I’m now older and a little wiser. I’ve learned to tune in and when the pace is slowing, I enjoy it by slowing down too.  Without the barrage of emails and activity this week , the work pace felt downright leisurely. I even managed to make some headway on brand new personal projects.

I hope that you’re enjoying a bit of a breather this week too. But before you take off for the weekend please pop over and wish my dear friend Joanna Young a Happy Blog Birthday! In two short years, Joanna has built a thriving blog community that has taken it’s rightful place as one of the leading writing blogs.

Robert Hruzek’s latest group writing project, What I learned From Adversity is open until Sunday at midnight. Group Writing Projects are an excellent way to stretch your writing muscles, meet other bloggers and have some fun.

Today is my Gran’s 90th birthday. We’re having a family gathering to celebrate on Saturday. Sunday, will be church as usual and on Monday I will be lounging in my PJ’s watching cartoons! I’ll resume the normal schedule on Tuesday. Have a wonderful Easter, Passover and weekend!

Got  any fun plans this weekend?

  1. Happy Easter, Karen, and birthday greetings to your Gran!
    I won’t go to work till Tuesday, so I will be enjoying some wonderful lazy days. Weather is absolutely beautiful here in Berlin, and tomorrow I will have lunch with a very dear and kind neighbor.
    Have a big time!

  3. Karen,

    I wish Gran a very happy birthday. To reach the ripe old age of 90 is a wonderful achievement.

    I’m glad to hear that you have an interesting and fun weekend planned.

    Myself, I have been away the past two weekends and will be away again next weekend, so I have decided to just enjoy a relaxing weekend at home this weekend, apart from going to church tomorrow.

    (Unfortunately, Easter is not a long weekend in Korea)

    Happy Easter.

  7. Hi Karen, Happy birthday to Gran. Congratulations on being able to relax when you have the time to do so – that’s a real gift, you know. Tomorrow we have a birthday party for my sister, who’s hitting a big milestone (I’d better say 29 to stay out of trouble), and Sunday, Easter mass & then brunch with the whole family. Happy Easter, Karen.
