Sometimes I think I'm Wonder Woman... meaning that I wonder how I got myself going in 1000 different directions at the same time. Life gets crazy, and it usually happens during the Summer and Winter.... Summer activities and the Holiday Season. Today is Independence Day in the US, a day that's usually filled with BBQ's, hometown parades, and fireworks. Busy, busy, and more busy all in the middle of a work week for most. Well the most that couldn't get vacation time for this week. Hey, telling it like it is.
Take a portion of this day and dedicate it to some self-care. This is just as much a reminder for myself as it is advice for you. I'm getting ready to head out for vacation in five days... Two weeks. Got the housesitter procured, the Uber reserved, and numerous lists.... it's scary. I've never been this organized outside my craft room and home office. Anyhow... See how easy it is to get busy and off track and not take care of one's self during this busy time?
A dear friend reminded me of this last week. Thank you Elizabeth.
Here are a few suggestions...
- An iced tea, a good book and some patio or porch time.... just you.
- A nature walk; in your local park early in the morning... when it's cool and quiet.
- An hour of crafty time doing what you love....
- A 90 minute nap, put some lavender oil in your diffuser, set an alarm, close the door, turn off your technology and just BE... and drift away for 90 minutes. You'll awake refreshed and ready.

Happy 4th!
