I think being intentional and taking note of them is great because our lives can get so overly busy so easy. My slow down is like Faith's. Reading time. If I'm not getting pleasure reading time each day it's time to take note that life is too busy. How fun and nice that you were able to help a friend help others.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-74900848010589790792015-11-14T09:44:00.912-08:002015-11-14T09:44:00.912-08:00yay for slow down activities.

How special to have that coffee time with your hubby.....I spent mine shopping :)<br /><br />I love being able to bless others with items my own children have worn....and we are also doing the Operation Xmas Child boxes again this year...my 16 year old had so much fun this morning after our hair appts buying for a little one......she still gets so much joy from this annual activity. <br /><br />Happy Knitting!!

Now I hope to get some stitching done on this rainy weekend.

...Your Veteran's day sounded nice and relaxing.<br /><br />I am thankful for the technology nowadays that keep us in touch, just like when my s-i-l was in Kuwait. He could do Facetime with the kids everyday. <br /><br />Yay for long walks and time to knit!Jerraleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303751802364926617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-67898411214003705462015-11-13T11:36:45.110-08:002015-11-13T11:36:45.110-08:00When my mother was alive, before cell phones were ...When my mother was alive, before cell phones were so prevalent, we could only talk once a month. I am so glad to have such easy access to talk to or text my kids so much more often.<br /><br />I'm not sure what a Weasley sweater is - perhaps you'll show us the results on all those cute models some time. :-)<br /><br />Your Veteran's Day morning sounds cozy. I love that so many restaurants are doing things like that.<br />Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-35800743550180752632015-11-13T11:14:16.393-08:002015-11-13T11:14:16.393-08:00I'm having a slow down day today.

Sitting in front of the fire and reading blogs :) Too wet for a walk although I've been walking most days this week.<br /><br />I love those phone calls too - Roger and I remember when we were in the states going to seminary. Long-distance was so expensive in those days - we were lucky to call home once a month.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing pics those Weasley sweaters on grands after Christmas!<br /><br />Hope you have a relaxing weekend Willow!Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954229132389021143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-74938761553784909512015-11-13T11:11:42.749-08:002015-11-13T11:11:42.749-08:00We are trying to slow down just as much as possibl...We are trying to slow down just as much as possible. But we aren't at the stage in our lives; ya know, child free, just yet. We are still farming and working full time jobs. I am looking for a time to slow way down.<br />But I too enjoy those phone calls from my daughter as she drives home from work, working out with my hubby, and talking with our other two over a home cooked meal. :)<br />Thanks for inspiring me to slow down where I can!<br />Happy knitting!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659675759066363838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-46623086389175697442015-11-13T09:20:01.648-08:002015-11-13T09:20:01.648-08:00Those are great slow down activities.
