Slowing down

Jude Hill's blog always inspires me to sit and stitch, just quietly, making a point to calm the mind.  Have a look at it here and see what I mean. It is somehow restful.  I think it's essential to sometimes just sit quietly and let our brain have a rest; it takes conscious thought to do that, whereas it is all too easy to let our brains run on and on so that we get fed up with the constant stream of slush going through our head.
Now here is a peaceful scene, on a blog from Grace Forrest.


Time to get back to some stitching.
