Yesterday was the first day of fall, a new season. A season is defined by changes in the weather, ecology, and environment. We often refer to times in our lives as seasons. I have been in a extremely busy season for almost a year. I have opened my own family practice as a new nurse practitioner, built and opened a boarding kennel with my husband, moved my 87 year old father in with me and tried to be a good Christian, wife, mother, and mom to my four-legged family. I have not been very good to myself. I have quit running, quit practicing yoga, added fast food to my vegetarian diet, fallen behind on scrapbooking, missed Sunday morning church and rushed my time with God, I seem to be doing all the talking and very little listening. .In all the hustle and bustle, I feel like I am alone. In my business, my family has become my sole support system, I have lost my sense of being in a community.
In a busy season we often overlook taking care of ourselves. Several months ago I picked Jessica Tuner's book The Fringe Hours. I read when I can not sleep. As I was reading, I realized I miss being creative. I tell my patients that they have to have balance in their lives, but I have lost my balance.
Why an online book club?I can read and post comments on my own schedule.
People I interact with come from a wider variety of places and backgrounds.
I will be involved with people who want to read the same genre
Have you ever participated in an online book club?
Want to join me? Go to Bloom Book club (in)courage and sign up today.
Happy fall, ya'll
Connie
