Great challenge @SatinDragon, thank you 😊
Apt timing. Thursdays are the day I actually allocated to be a self-care day. It began a few weeks ago when I realised that between clients and Sir, I was being stretched in all directions, and it was wearing me thin. So, I did something super uncomfortable…
after explaining that it wasn’t personal, I asked Sir for a day to myself. A day that W/we will both (all) benefit from. A day to simply sit in my own space, and recharge. Thankfully, He understood and has granted me this… even adapting His work schedule and all (swoon 🥰).
Thursday is that day. Today.
So, today began with a coffee and walk along the beach with Sir and O/our puppy dog (a daily ritual). I met an amazing woman who feels like someone who will become a friend.
Now, I’m off to a Pilates class, which is tough but very rewarding, and although I secretly think that all chirpy instructors are hidden Sadists, it’s also super fun, which gives me a sense of social interaction in a way that I enjoy.
Back home now to potter around and hang out with the puppy dog, simply doing as I like, with some tidying here and there, of course, with some music playing. An opportunity to reach out and catch up with some friends. And then relax back, read some of my book, and pop on a new face mask I bought to try.
I have come to realise it’s not so much about what I do. It’s about having an opportunity to have that empty space around me. Sometimes, no doubt I’ll do a lot. Sometimes, as little as possible. Whatever the day may bring ☺️
