And now that you mention it, so do mine. Funny how our eyes catch stuff like that, and then obsess on it!

bold.

omg you're shooting film. looooooove. that last picture. i connect to that feeling right now. i want a blanket and a fire place and a cabin on a lake.

#1. THIS is amazing.
#2. You do have a beautiful fan
#3. "synchronicity" is my new favorite word.

This is amazing!

you're on the right path. the fan tells you so.

you have a really pretty FACE!

Haha! That's awesome! Who woulda thought? :)

Taking the time to stop, slow down and appreciate the simplest of things is such an important part of life .. you are such an inspiration

I am still healing from having Hodgkin's Lymphoma..your post can help so many people.. breathe... slow down...take in the good in life. ;)

Yes yes yes yes yes yes.
This picture is definitely worth posting on its own. it is a gift to me.

Haha! I love that you watched Never Say Never. Let me just say that having a little Bieber on the iTunes comes in pretty handy every now and then...I liked this post! Monday fill days sound brilliant. I hope you like them! :)

i love this idea! look what 2 movies sparked. :) i look forward to seeing how these Mondays shape up.

What a fabulous idea. I love that you are giving this to yourself.

fill day = brilliant. and i loved this post x10.

Wow. Very true and helpful thoughts on the Internet and what actually fills you up. Thank you.

oh my lanta - love that (side note: one of my best friends says that all the time and it totally made me smile to see it in writing). shannon, i love this. i've started taking mondays off and sometimes it just doesn't feel like a "day off" i think because it's a monday and life is just busy and i tend to get sidetracked. so i hope you don't mind if i borrow your title. seriously brilliant, girl. going to put it on my calendar right now. i think it's going to bring the focus i was lacking. i just started working with a life coach with the intention of achieving a healthy work-life balance. i recently read an analogy that working on your self isn't selfish, it's like putting your own oxygen mask on before helping others. i love that idea of "filling my tank" for the week so i'm able to give without feeling so drained & depleted. such wisdom. love you, friend. =)

Such an inspiring post! I've been feeling EXACTLY the same way lately...all I ever do is either edit photographs, send emails, or other internet-y things. And all the while the tv is happily playing in the background. :/ At the end of the day my eyes feel totally "screened" out and yet I feel like I haven't done anything for me. So thank you for reminding me that a chance to stop and do something NON business related is good. :)

this is brilliant. thanks for sharing this, shannon! I think I will try it, too. :)

Shannon, I l love and am really encouraged by your concept of a "fill day". I can really resonate with being glued to the computer screen (especially on my 2 days off or on the time before work) and how it is often just checking one more thing then being up until 2am. Thanks for the encouragement.

love this! there is nothing better!

Best. Day. Ever.

Best. Day. Ever.

Best. Day. Ever.

I love this. It's so simple, yet so captivating. It makes me feel lost in time.

Um wow. That is seriously... wow. Yes.
