My Day

Today is Wednesday, my day off. I do lead a yoga session this evening, but otherwise, this is my day to care for me. What does that mean? I haven't ever actually defined it in writing, but basically it means I concentrate on making myself feel cared for and loved by indulging in moment-by-moment activities as they pop into my mind - but with the overriding rule that it is exactly what I want to do at the moment. Today is not the day for "have-tos" or "shoulds." I make a strong effort to avoid those by putting them on a list for tomorrow. Yesterday in between doctor appointments and my yoga sessions in Greenwood I bought some new clothes (on sale end-of-winter stuff, of course) and will lift my spirits wearing them today. Also, I'll cook something special - maybe some roasted veggies, and get back to my writing, reading, and knitting. For right now, I'm just enjoying watching the ducks in the fog. I am learning to really enjoy the gray days. They seem like an invitation to stay inside and just be. I'll probably take a nap or two - I love my "after breakfast" naps. Somehow they seem so indulgent! And such fun - particularly on gray days. Right now time for my Ayurvedic Pitta tea - a gift from a friend I met at the Center for Spiritual Awareness. Have a beautiful day!
