I feel such warmth in my heart for you and the lovely writer's cottage that you found for your creative soul! congratulations to you! ;) I always feel a soft cushion in coming here and I wanted to say 'thank-you' for that! I absolutely understand your sabbatical and think it is wonderful! I think of you often and send over much luv to you in your writing adventures! I do feel that in this season of my life, I am entering more of this luxury -essential that you speak of and it is a new feeling. I am withdrawn quite a bit from the traditional distractions now also and so it is just learning to 'fill up' as you speak of that is so incredibly important! Thank you for what feels like a fresh new permission slip for me to take away today from this post! big hugs, and I appreciate you so much! happy writing and calm adventures ;) ~JennJenn @ CozyCompanionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773786500454535729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4604060928939811192.post-39038774602335462602010-04-18T17:48:19.587-04:002010-04-18T17:48:19.587-04:00My wistful heart goes on sabbatical, however, it d...My wistful heart goes on sabbatical, however, it does not take my body with it...perhaps my time will come soon.

I can imagine the peace that a "writing retreat" will bring to your life as you nurture the creative spark of your next book. I send all good thoughts for the month ahead.

I would so love to take a sabbatical, as well. I've been doing my best to nurture myself through an incredibly stressful period, I'm experiencing. It's only been in little nibbles though. Not nearly enough.<br /><br />I also really like the boundaries you've set, like not taking phone calls after 4pm, etc. It sounds like a wonderful period of renewal for you.<br /><br />While I'll miss you, I also offer my full support on this leg of your journey.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />CarolynnCarolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4604060928939811192.post-37302265372542930032010-04-07T10:00:26.971-04:002010-04-07T10:00:26.971-04:00I'm excited for you, Jan, but I will miss your...I'm excited for you, Jan, but I will miss your posts. They have been like manna from heaven to me. I'll just work through your archives! :)<br /><br />What you are doing sounds absolutely divine and I am trying so very hard not to be jealous!

But I won't be snapping back at all. I'll be easing back because from tonight, I'll be on a 5-day sabbatical - a mini version of yours.<br /><br />Love and blessings of silence, solitude and peace to you Jan.Cheryl Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354159232369365269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4604060928939811192.post-81010413619797111602010-04-05T22:38:20.150-04:002010-04-05T22:38:20.150-04:00Hi Jan,

I told my sister, it's hot at 76 degrees, how am I going to stand it 20 degrees hotter? You need lots of ocean time, too, while you're in Florida. I finally found a good CD, Sounds of the Sea by Naturescapes. I am going back to Hawaii with my sisters next month for the first time since I went to college there.
