This week the Focusing on Life<\/em> challenge words\u00a0are “take time”. \u00a0 How do we take time just for ourselves? \u00a0I’m looking forward to seeing what others are doing to unwind, what they like to do when given a free moment. \u00a0As for me, you see this picture of ceramic components below? You may be thinking that the answer to how I take time for myself is making jewelry. \u00a0Not exactly.<\/p>\n

These sweet ceramic pieces have something in common…..why yes, they are all owls. \u00a0 I’m a night owl<\/strong>. \u00a0I take time to myself by staying up late. \u00a0Very late. Most of you that know me are well aware that I’m more likely to return your email late at night than during the day. \u00a0I remember years ago, people would tell me that once I had kids I would be cured of staying up late. \u00a0Four boys and 12 years later, I’m still a night owl. \u00a0I take after my Dad and my Grandmother. \ud83d\ude42 I love the quiet of the house at night…. no more checking the clock and racing out the door going to and fro, no more rush<\/em>. \u00a0I love it.<\/p>\n

To see how others are taking time, visit Sally Russick’s blog and see the Focus on Life participants here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n

P.S. \u00a0The ceramic owls were made by – Nan Emmett<\/a> (cabachon), LeAnn Weih<\/a> (bead), and Kylie Parry<\/a> (pendant).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
