Slowing down

Things are just starting to slow down; finally. I have purchased at least 6 new (used) books in hopes of getting quiet time. I have purged my house of junk-which was actually very cleansing emotionally :) I have been able to sleep-in at least twice. I had a one night camping experience with some family members, first time in at least 20 yrs. And, I plan on taking a week off in August...I hope to paint more, make a dent in those books I picked up, accomplish more organizing and get to the ocean.
