I've been feeling a little out of balance the last couple weeks, so I've been taking some time to reflect. For me the changing seasons always seem to be a good time to re evaluate priorities.
I feel like a line was crossed and inspiration pics became burdens and project ideas became obligations.
Too many plans, too many things that I want done
right now. No time to enjoy the process or feel good enough just to be taking small steps towards having the home I want.
My home can be a demanding mistress since she's an old fixer upper. I've had to step back a little bit and focus on other things that are important to me.

The most helpful thing for me to do when my house and all her needs gets to be too much is simply to
get out- time to do other things, see friends, do something that doesn't involve a project having to get done.
I took my camera with me during my day last week to help me enjoy the moments during my day.



This experience really helped me appreciate the interesting places I go. Most importantly it helped me feel less stressed by the projects that need to be completed at the tiny homestead.
I'm already starting to feel a little excitement for a couple projects around the house. I'll be sure to take some time to get out of the house to do other things though. And I'm going to keep taking my camera with me- I keep capturing great little moments and places.
