30 Days- Rest

September 24, 2010

Tina’s post really him home today. I have a big problem resting. Rest is a four letter word to me, I am bad at it. Rarely will you see me doing nothing, I multi task at work all day, barely have time to pee let alone take a lunch and at night we usually have some fun activity going on. But this past week, I did actually rest a bit. Last week was the first week in a long time, if not ever, that I had no plans during the week. Now I did make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, Paradise Macaroons for Tina’s Blog Bake Sale and Panko Crusted Chicken but I did actually manage to sit my buns on the couch for a bit and completely veg.

I envy those who can handle a weekend of nothing. I might go crazy by hour 2. I have often been referred to as- the energizer bunny, hyper, crazy and that woman who never stops. Somehow I managed to work 45 hours a week, go to Grad School full time, be a CFO of a volunteer organization and be engaged to Mike from 2007 to 2009. A bit crazy? I think so. I have learned my lesson the hard way, I need to stop and relax. Am I good at it? Nope. But I am trying.

My goal for the next month- try to relax! We have something going on every weekend between now and early December and 6 of them will be out of town. Eeek. But I can make it. I can be present and take a deep breath and relax. I will be doing some of my favorite activities to try and relax- yoga, reading and cooking.

Help hold me to this!
