Filling the Margin of Life

About a month ago, I posted about the absence of margin in my life at the time.  I was simply filling the hours of every day with tasks and to-do's.  There was little time in my life to laugh, enjoy my family, appreciate hobbies, or to nurture my spirituality.  For me (as I suspect it would be for most), the fix has been an intentional one.  By saying "no" to things, slowing down, and being more realistic about what a balanced and "whole" life looks like, I've found some much needed extra space in my life. Here's what I've found myself filling my margins with:

The Garden -

Brewing my own Beer and Baking my own Bread -

Bikes and biking as my primary mode of transportation -

  3. Zach - thanks for the inspiration on the bread. How’s your recipes coming these days? Good memories.

    Jamie - go figure about the garden - I have no idea what I am doing. All I know is plant, mulch, water, and feed occasionally (with organic plant food of course!) You’ll have to join us for some grilled corn on the front porch soon.

  4. Yum.
