The excitement of travel, friends visiting, and the overabundance of photo opportunities has left me exhausted.  Yesterday was the first day in four that I ventured outside briefly.  So much for intentionally practicing peace.

I feel a bit like a dog chasing its own tail – so much I want to do and see, yet the harder I try, the further I get from achieving anything.  

So I am ending this week at the same place I began it:  focusing on conscious intent.  

Breathe, be grounded in the moment, appreciate all that is; rest.  A mantra for now.

Thank you all for your thoughtful, and diverse takes on this week’s challenge.  Here is a rundown of participants with links to their creative entries:
