120 - your time

I had a great day. No real issues coming up that was life or death. No serious health issues. Nothing outstanding or dreadful either. All in all it was a basic day in the life of Darling. I had the opportunity to spice things up a bit but decided against it. Why you ask?

Well its a good thing you asked because the answer is not very exciting. For you, unfortunately. I didnt spice up my otherwise pretty steady calm and peaceful day because when I thought about things a little, when I looked back in my life and when I wanted to think of the last day I had that didnt involve coffee, drinks, dinner or an intimate tryst. When I tried to think of a day that was just for me, myself and I. It took too long for me to think of when that day was so... I decided that I would just either do nothing or do what I felt like doing.

So I did. My otherwise appointed self appreciation day for.. yours truly was spent... in the bank, on the phone and making appointments for a different day. I also ended up cooking something which was a lot of fun. Theres something calming and simple about making a meal. I walked around my kitchen in a very comfortable pair of black Lulu lemon pants. Oh so comfy clothes for me. A black tank top with... Rainbow Bright in front, in all her glory. By glory I mean wand wielding.

A pair of Reef flip flops and my hair half heartedly piled on top of my head. Forget the recipe. I got some carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, chicken and some seasoning in a packet plus some herbs and spices that I felt like throwing in. I know I know I know. I will eat anything I make LOL

It turned out fabulously. I was happy with it. I listened to some Alison Kraus who I enjoy a great deal. Well. I did some mothering to the dogs. We played tug of war and I lost and I must now purchase a new toy for losing. I wanted to read a book and possibly finish it tonight as well but I dont think thats going to happen.
Sometimes even when you have things to do. You have to make sure you make time for yourself. No matter what, because 'you cant help other people if you cant help yourself.'

Those words courtesy of my fantastically wise father! Thanks. Its something I will always keep in mind.

So make sure you take some time for yourself. Even if its 10 minutes. :) It will be worth it.
