I just read a little note from a favorite little party blog of mine and had to share a little of what they said... I'm not much of a writer, but if I could describe why I want to "slow down" in the most perfect way possible, I may have said it like this:
"For so, so long, if you might ask us how we were, our answer would always be `crazy busy'. Our lists were long. Boring long. Boring answer.
And so without intention to be gone so long, we simply unplugged for a little while. We switched off the background noise that was drowning out our voice. If you like, we went in search of the acoustic version of ourselves.
And found it looking up at us. With piggytails and giggles; wisdom and charm.
So we've been working on making busy look different. Good different.
And we are striving to make our list shorter. Simpler. More or Less.
More loving and listening and learning and laughing with our babies –they soon will be grown.
Less `not now's, `in a minute's, `hurry up's, `maybe tomorrow's.
More sleep. Less to eat!
More `love to's. Less `have to's..."
Thanks for putting a feeling into words for me, Hip Hooray. This was so beautiful.
