I received an email from Makelight and she’s hosting a Pause for Thought series for the next two weeks. I joined.

I’m taking a break from the 100 Day Project.

I have been sick this week and haven’t taken any photos. I attribute this to stress. I felt stressed in preparing for the VCQ retreat, and the retreat was not that retreatful (a new word I just made up). I do love meeting new people, talking shop and learning new things, but all that doing overwhelms me. Too much stimulus. I have trouble shutting off the thoughts in my head.

Getting back to taking photographs this week was too much. That’s why I’m pausing for thought. I know you see the irony in my pausing for thought when overthinking is what I’ve been doing.

Breathe with me.
