haven

haven. just saying this word exudes serenity.
as i go about my day today i am realizing that i want to make my life a haven. i want my life to be marked by tranquility, calmness, and consideration. i want to take the time to breathe and embrace.

september has been an overwhelmingly busy month. i am over-committed and running dry. i am literally working at least sixty hours a week. this doesn't work so well with maintaining good relationships.

i feel guilty for not being there for my family and friends. i don't want to be that person.

so, today is a new day. i am lighting my pumpkin spice and caramel apple scented candle. im stepping back and bringing balance into my life. i am doing what i need to do and not taking on more than i can afford. im praying today and connecting with those that are most important to me.
