Quality Time

The last 10 days have been wonderful

but a little crazy

Upon the return from the DC trip my feet

never really hit the ground running

Even though I was getting enough sleep each night

I couldn't shake this hyper overtired thing going on inside

So, knowing I had the house to myself until this morning

with Renee away for the weekend

I wrote at the top of my to-do list

"Take Sunday OFF"

I turned off my phone,

played with the cats

read some of my recent book

watched movies

Put fresh sheets and blankets on the bed

and when it got dark

I made a cocoon out of the bedroom and 

snuggled in, listening to the ferocious wind outside

I just laid there

feeling grateful for the safe space

staying present in the coziness

and let my body and mind unwind

It felt like I had given myself a giant hug

and I wanted to remind us all 

to eek out some quality time with yourself

You are worth it.
