Today I feel content and peaceful, and that is by design, not accident. I purposefully put aside my many lists and decided to improvise this weekend.
Yesterday, I went to my AquaFit class and destressed so much that the only thing I did for the remainder of the day was take a drive with my husband, read, and rest. Unproductive looking to some, but just what I needed.
Today has no agenda. So far I have paid a couple of bills, tackled some laundry (which I don’t hate doing – I find folding therapeutic), and read. The rest of the day will probably be much of the same – reading, writing, and listening to calming music. It is my little slice of heaven.
It could have been very different though if I created a long list and put huge expectations on myself for this weekend. It would have been easy to do. Don’t get me wrong; that happens often – just last weekend in fact. The point is if we don’t make/take time to care for ourselves who will? How will you find your peace and contentment this week?
