A Sunday response to Friday feels. Hope you’ve had a nice weekend Jane and found some moments of pure enjoyment. 💛

Also my inner food writer needs to know…. How is that Wyndridge Cider?? I’ve never heard of it but I’m guessing it’s a PA craft cider? Looks delicious!

It is delicious. My husband had more knowledge with that, than I do lol. I think it is a PA cider. There are so many little breweries around here. One of our favorites is Hidden River. It's outside of Reading PA. I know you were looking for little places in the Allentown area

No need to "should" all over yourself. I relate, though. The laundry and dishes are never ending. You are also allowed to rest.

Thanks Janine. It's advice I give to others but I don't follow it myself

So true. It's the guilt I feel. This nagging voice that tells me I'm lazy. I know I'm not. I tend to be a perfectionist and if I don't watch it I can become a workaholic and burnout. It's happened before

Oof, been there, Jane. I call myself a Type A recovering perfectionist. I have learned to let go of the word "lazy" because usually what is true is that I am really tired. What is true is that I work really hard and that sometimes I don't give myself the rest I need. I imagine that might be true for you too. 💜

Yes! I get so tired that I hit the wall and can't push past it. Then I make more messes around me if that makes sense

Life is too short for laundry and guilt. You’re doing great. Write for you. Savor your moments. And I’m so sorry about your mom but I’m confident she would be wildly proud of you. ❤️
