As you may already know, I'm not very good at relaxing. Fri night is usually singing, but we're not yet reconvened and I miss my choir mates lots. With no kids and my boyfriend unusually off work, we went out for a meal and then watched TV, but my trouble with being at home is that there are always so many other things to be doing. So last night I kept putting washing out instead of Just Relaxing. Next fri might be easier as we will be away so it will not be possible to keep chipping away at the chores. And today I've booked myself a massage so hopefully that will ease some of the tension that's built up in my body.
I'm aware of how much more there is to be done compared to what I'm doing. I have several friends - and also several not exactly strangers, but people I don't really know so well - who are in need of encouragement right now and sometimes it seems impossible to get it right. This morning I'm being hard on myself for not managing more :(
So I suspect the wisest thing is to take a bit of time out today so that I can give more again next week. Meanwhile, this brought a smile: http://www.wimp.com/dogbeds/
The old story goes that cats and dogs don't get on. But I guess love can win in all kinds of unexpected ways.
I hadn't realised how much tension I'd locked in the front of my neck too - I'd thought it was just the back of it. I'd booked one for me and my girly and it was lovely. Tried not to let the effort be undone when coming home to big puddles of dog vomit and possible radiator leakage. Ho hum.
ReplyDeleteMassage is fab. Good attention AND physical contact. I vow to take myself and my lovely daughter as often as I can afford to this year!
