Dear LazyGardner,
"Even Jesus withdrew from the crowds"... wow. That is my new "go-to" line... to help myself remember that it is OK to retreat. Thank You!
Do you mind me asking?... You have patients... What do you do for a living?
Today was exhilarating with my new found attitude.
I...
My big girls would if they could.... I built them their own separate coop on the other side of the barn. Two flocks that couldn't be any different if they tried! Fun Stuff.
Yes, the B&B is such a different set of tasks. At the gallery I am interacting with hundreds of people a day... (exhausting). At the B&B it is a very brief interaction.
You are so right... I just might be having a guest or two that needs a more intimate and private setting. For many...
Wow... it's a good thing my husband left early and the kids aren't here. I'm sitting on the couch crying like a baby.
