Oh yes. Yes yes and yes. "So I realised I was letting life creep in and over me, and when it does I stop enjoying things and parts of my body start to protest. It’s a sign. To be quiet, withdraw a little and regird."

As you probably found in my recent post—we have been on a similar path lately.

Always wonderful to read your words and feel connection!

Thanks Alice. It's mutual. I'm so glad I found your Substack as it always chimes like a bell with me.

As it turns out, I wrote my post but didn't heed my own words. Worked so hard in the garden yesterday (the one non-rain day of the week) that I woke at 2 AM covered in sweat. For me it's a sure sign I pushed too hard. But you know what? I loved every labour-intensive minute. It's been so wet here and gardening is one of my soul pursuits and I've missed it so much. Besides I can always sleep in!!!

Cheers!
