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.

  1. This is such a lovely reminder to take it slow and give yourself some real attention. Your comfortable Sunday sounds like the ideal way to start over. It's important to take a moment to relax, refuel, and simply be in between pursuing objectives or looking through Bellevue WA homes for sale. I'm motivated to organize my own self-care day because of you!

  2. This post serves as a stunning reminder of the significant impact of purposeful rest. Life can become chaotic, and even during “rest,” our thoughts may continue to race. Your Sunday seems like the ideal refresh—calm, comfortable, and restorative. As a hectic Real Estate Agent in Bellevue, WA, I understand how uncommon it is to genuinely disconnect. Your words inspired me to make room for tranquility as well. At times, we all require that enormous self-embrace. Thank you for providing this gentle reminder to take a break, think, and rejuvenate. You have genuinely captured something remarkable here.
