Stopping for me - like many people - is a work in progress. I try and get off the computer - and some other form of connecting to someone else beckons me to just look at one more thing. I'm working with it. I notice sometimes I put just as much pressure on myself to stop as I do to move faster. Interesting. . . . just works in reverse. That's an amazing perspective to take into the New Year. Happy Healthy New Year to you!! I loved this quote ” you cannot buy stopped.”

I breathed a deep sigh of relief just reading this post. Thanks for talking about it--this is a subject I'm deeply interested in, and a direction I intend to take my own blog this year. "Do what they do in the picture without paying for it. Just stop....You cannot buy stopped. You simply have to stop.”" Yes. And every reminder about this is important, I think, because it runs so counter to the messages we're constantly fed. Good for you for taking the time to stop for a week, and for picking such a lovely place to do it. (The wallet! Yikes! And yes, good people!) Funny how my urge to acquire so often seems to center around books. I think you've just added another to my huge "to read" list! ;o) Ah, Janet.
