Day 379 ‘No. JR’ Cocktail Course – Part 1.

Finally, work has been done on the Coral Dress and it is going to be beautiful! The little bolero has been cut, tacked and will be overlocked tomorrow. I am very pleased! The precious past month I kept for myself before I started the work on it was worth it. Even the ‘Doubting-Days’ when the ‘Doing-Mode’ of my brain started to jeopardise the delicious refreshment of ‘No. JR’ cocktail (no-work, just-rest) were successfully defeated. I often wondered before I returned home whenever I had days off after long periods of work and study, why I felt the need to do something when I could have just enjoyed not doing anything. Now, I know. I did not take the effort to train my thought pattern to appreciate rest, but straight away felt guilty for not doing anything and tried to fill that imaginary hole a day-off caused in my busy schedule. In my busy life. In my busy being. In my busy universe. And it was not right to waste valuable hours even minutes on strolling in a park, sitting quietly on a chair or just have yet another cup of tea for the sake of having it. But now, the ‘No. JR’ cocktail had been drunk and more is on order. Part 1. of the course has been completed :-)
