Sunday’s self care: me and my notebook—just the two of us in the chilly morning curled in a patch of sunlight. I journal about whatever comes to mind. Sometimes I list all the things I need to do just to get it out of my head, and other times I write out what I’m upset about or my story of what’s wrong until I can see, and deal with, what actually happened, sans drama. Journaling offers me a fresh perspective on my life and reveals insights I’m unaware of until the words hit the paper. Writing long hand is also more personal and natural then typing on screen and gives me the feeling of camaraderie or a secret pal who’ll always be there in a pinch.
Monday’s self care: I chose not to be derailed by a transportation challenge and a change to a change in plans, plus our respite care helper, Brin, was sick but was a trooper and came anyway. So…Jeff and I went out to B&N and to the movies for a welcome break and alone time.
