Some days I only sit down to eat, but it is a kind of work that feeds the soul and spirit (and the family because I cook A LOT). I much prefer this kind of life to any other.

I’m feeling better today having done my 3 mile walk with Mr Dancing (it included a VERY steep hill). I need to do this on a much more regular basis … now that the snow has gone this is much more likely.

I hibernated in that cold snap … but I did get a lot of knitting done!

You have listed some VERY important priorities …

I’m often out all evening after work, and when home am constantly in front of the computer. I’m going to try to take some of your suggestions this week and improve my quality of life!

I often find going to Church on Sunday morning a tough one. By then I’m tired and want a morning in bed. How do you ensure you have the energy and aren’t doing it due to guilt etc?

The truth is we all run around too much, using our cars to take us to more places to buy. Most of my Canadian friends spend hours in the car each day running errands, dropping kids off, going to work. We need to stop. Thanks for the reminder, I like the idea of starting with 1 evening weekdays and 1 day at the weekend, seems a good way to ease into it.

I’m more of a homebody now than ever before and it is great, good for the soul.
I’m going to take your advice and try to get outside more, fresh air and exercise will hopefully boost my ( 7 months pregnant) flagging energy levels. :)

I find I’m a lot more relaxed in the winter, more time at home… then the summer means more work, more social activities… a lot of go go go. I’ll try to find a balance, just like you…
