It was a gorgeous day, and I decided to allow myself a birthday treat -- right there in the middle of the madness. I grabbed a favorite new book that I've been getting lost in, and set the kitchen timer for 30 minutes.
I sat on the patio, and DID NOT MOVE for 30 minutes. No watering flowers, no picking up this or that in the yard. Just sitting and soaking in the sun with a good read. Thirty minutes of bliss.
Then it was back to work.
Allow yourself!
Good for you, Sally, and happy belated birthday! I too have to be mindful about stepping away from things to just be. All too often, I find myself sitting by the pool for a mere five minutes, before I start weeding or watering or skimming. It's so hard for me to just sit. I did it this weekend and it felt wonderful. I am glad you took the time out to relax! What are you reading? The picture has me curious!
